My son left August 15 for the Navy...miss him with all my heart. But I am counting down the days until I am able to see him again for his graduation. Although very worried every minute of the day I know he is a smart and strong boy. When I said my goodbyes that day I just could not let go of my boy because I knew that the next time I would be hugging him again he would be a man. I wish him and the rest of the recruits out there good luck! We are all proud of you!

A letter from Tyler was waiting for me when I got home last night. He's doing great! He's been promoted from E-1 to E-2, so now he's a Seaman Apprentice wearing a single bar (collar device). I am so proud!  Eight days to PIR!!!

Thanks. They are both in the same area code, She has been there for two weeks almost and is working. He gets back tonight and should start work on Monday??? She really wants to be out of barracks, how long can it be before they find something.

Hello all...my son is at Great Lakes and has a slight medical problem.  He is able to participate in everything but the Physical training (PT.)  We're hoping this will not delay his graduation as we have already purchased  airline tickets.  Does anyone have any experience or input on this?  thanks

My sailor son is marrying his sailor fiance next week after his SERE graduation this Friday in San Diego. How soon can they get housing on base together?  Is there something they can do to speed up the proces? They are in different bases right now, do they need to rent off base for a few months? I'm in the east coast and don't know how things work in the west. Thanks      

Has anyone from Division 940 gotten the "I'm a Sailor" call?

Does anyone know if Ship 2 Div 940 has completed battle stations yet?

My son is ship 03 Div 328 haven't gotten a phone call or letter lately.  Anyone else in the same boat as me?

I just got my daughters address from her recruiter not the form.  Is that mean I can start writing to her?

I’m looking at a few things to do during my son’s liberty.  I have a few ideas Navy Pier, the Sears Towers or whatever they are called now and Miracle Mile.  Does anyone have any suggestions about things to do during for liberty? I also want to factor in driving and traffic.  Sould we drive or cab it or drive close to attractions and then cab it...?  I’m hoping to have a plan so we aren’t like a bunch a deer in the head lights.  What have been your experiences and suggestions?  I'm trying to…

Im looking for Mom that have sailors in A school at the Great Lakes.
