SHIP 12 DIV 306 GRADUATION SEPT 21. Anyone else?
Hi There,
I enjoy this site very much. Has helped me this week big time! I'm having trouble finding a group who's kids reported July 30th. My son arrived Monday, I got "THE CALL", I got "THE BOX" but I thought I'd have his address by now. I was hoping to chat w/ others who's kids are at the same level/report day as my son Zach.

After receiving the box I got my form letter that had his address about 1 week later. So hang in there, it should be there soon.

I'm not sure. Maybe because of A school training? I got his form letter today and it says graduation is the 21st. I won't book or do anything until I hear from him again. Hmmmm...wonder what's up??

Mikeysmom....So all must be connected.The schooling and dates. Are you finding it difficult like I am, not having a clue on our end. I mean I have spent night after night on my laptop searching for anything Navy. I can't wait to get his 1st letter. I'm sending out 2 tomorrow. Hope to get "THE CALL" soon.

Oh yes! i have done and still am doing the Navy searches. Im stressing over wondering if he will pass everything and getting all that detail memorized...written testing is going to be hard for my son soo im nervous about that. We bought the blue book before he left and its soo detailed..Im coping by knowing no calls is a good thing..right now...Im also going to be an unhappy mama if that first letter goes to the girlfreind.LOL
