Hello there my nave is Theresa and I will be leaving for boot camp january 8th 2013
I was wondering if there was anyone else leaving for boot camp in january 2013. It would be great to meet people before I go. I tried the January page but there weren't many current posts.

Since you are a future Sailor, you may want to join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. Craig runs that and will steer you to some good links on there.

I'm glad to see your way ahead of the game. Knowing what to expect once you get there will make all the difference in the world. That's the difference between girls/guys in my opinion. My son could have cared less if I did/didn't find useful information for him. So.....I kept the info to myself and after his PIR he told me "he should have listened to me"!!! LOL Wonders never cease.
Thank you for making the decision to serve your country! :-)

Hi, my son will be going to Great Lakes Jan 30, 2013. His girl friend already completed PIR and is now in Pensacola in A School. My son will be IT so will be going to Pensacola for A and C school and lots more IT courses....We just came back from Pensacola on a visit to her....it was COLD!!! Dang, but she was able to give him lots of coaching about Boot Camp! Now, if he'll listen, that's another story!
