Thank you Maria, I figured it out after I was writing to my son's recruiter. She thought it was Fiscal year and actual year, but I knew it couldn't be that because the other graduating classes would have had the same. So I started counting the divisions in each one and you got it!

Hi everyone, my son Phillip is on ship 10 div069. Still no form letter but I know other Moms in that div have recvd their form letter and preparing to go. My heart of course is in prep mode but have not quite clicked the 'buy ticket' button for airline tickets until I know the details that are in the letter. I am patiently waiting, expecting it to come this week! I hope to meet you ALLthe Navy Moms who have spent their time writing words of encouragement to me and many others as we wait for this great celebration of our sons and daughers!! I will b the one who can't stop crying tears of joy! LOL

Hi Ben's Wife!
That's okay, they will all be graduating together anyway and I am sure there are others that will join this group as soon as they find it. There is probably a thread with just your husband's ship too.

Hey Ben's Wife,
Finally someone who has someone on the same ship and div! My daughter Hannah is on Ship 10 Div 070 also! Please add me as a friend so we can keep in touch. I got the form letter the other day and on the bottom Hannah said she was doing great and that her RDC's were great... It sure made me feel better :) Let me know anything you hear!

Hi ! My name is Kim from Berea, Ohio, our son Shaun will also Grad Jan 29th, Ship 10, Div 070. Looking forward to grad!!! Would like to finallize reservations asap. Normally we have always flown to Chicago & walked/cabbed it. Don't think this is the route we should take this time? Milwakee is easier? Stay @ Navy Lodge? Please advise best solution, thank you for all your help!

I had a quick call from my son. He said his letter-writing time on Sunday was taken up by IRONING! I guess we should have practiced that before he left as much as all the physical training.
He said that everything is going really well, except sleeping. I can understand that; it would be hard to go from having your own room where you can control the light, temperature, sounds, etc. to a big room with 88 guys, with all the coming and going every hour for watch, etc. I hope he gets so tired that sleep just comes easily. -

Hi Laurie,
My son is in the same division and ship as yours. I got a call this Sunday too and he also talked about struggling with ironing! He said it was funny because he just got my letter about ironing and how I remember when his dad went thorugh boot camp he had a hard time! It made him feel better. He said he is really having a hard time. I hope your son is doing okay! I look forward to meeting you! I made a 'group' for our division and ship out in the group section but no one joined yet!
