DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Just found out my son is Ship 14, Div 276, graduating August 13th, 2010. Anyone else?????

Plus, haven't received my sons box of stuff or the form letter yet.

I thought the program was 9 weeks and he will be there just about 8 weeks.

Comment by angelkup ship 14 div 276 on July 8, 2010 at 9:07pm: Hi, my son Austin is ship 14 div 276. Got his stuff in a box the first week after he was there. Did he send it somewhere else, or one mom though perhaps her kid just through it out, If he had a cell on him though , he would have sent that somewhere. You should have rcvd the form letter also, or they can actually have it sent anywhere, maybe another family member.

Comment by Sanman on July 8, 2010 at 9:13pm: My son Victor is SHIP-14 DIV: 278 and he grads on August 13 also, I received his box the first week he was in. I have yet to receive a letter. Patiently waiting.

Comment by Melissa (Ship14/Div276/PIR8-13) on July 9, 2010 at 6:35pm: He might have sent his box to his girlfriend.ugghhh.....His granparents received a letter yesterday...his girlfriend received 3 letters today.....his younger brother and sister received one today.....but mom......nothing. I'm very hurt, but I'm trying to look at it that maybe it is just hard for him to right me. It was just me and my son for 13 years until I finally married so...we have always had a special bond, i thought......i just wrote him yesterday and today, so hopefully he will write back.

Comment by angelkup ship 14 div 276 on July 9, 2010 at 11:30pm: maybe, we are just the mom sometimes, I mean we are always there, the rocks, oh its just mom, its ok.

Comment by Melissa (Ship14/Div276/PIR8-13) on July 10, 2010 at 11:25pm: i guess so....it's just hard.....

Comment by mom 56 on July 11, 2010 at 5:29am: sometimes they dont have to much time to write i hope you get a letter really soon and a phone call kids will be kids when they have a girfriend thats about all they think about but just wait you will see a big change in your son just keep writing him lettersevery day he loves you but has so much to learn in eight weeks. i know you feel hurt but things will change stay busy and his pir will be here really soon.that is something you will always remember good luck to you and your son there is a chat room where you can talk to other people night or day sometimes it helps to know there are other people there for you.if i can do anything you can go onto my page and i will add you

Comment by JCPDB (RP Wife) on July 29, 2010 at 4:41am: My husband is also Ship 14 Div 276. As of todays date (7-29-10) I have received his box, (like the others said within a week of him leaving) only a few letters, but I have received two phone calls, the latest was last Saturday. He has told me that they only have free time for a few hours (sometimes) on Sunday mornings which is also their only time to study, and they have A LOT to study and learn. Hopefully your son is just studying hard, and making sure he does the best he can on his tests so he doesn't get held back. I hope this helps, and I hope you hear from him soon.
