SHIP 11 DIV 212
If you have a recruit in this division please let me know. I know that all of us who have someone graduating on 06/11 have to stick together. But it is so nice to know the family and friends of the men my husband is spending all of his time with. Also, I thought we could send letter or cards to each others recruits to add a little variety to their letters. Please let me know what you think!
I know my husband would be so thankful to know that I am getting so much support from his classmate's families. I look forward to talking to everyone on here and learing more. I can not wait until the meet and greet to be able to put a name with a face.
Good luck Navy Ship 11 Div 212!!!

Just got the call, Hello Maam,your speaking to " U.S. Sailor (last Name). What a warmth going through my heart. Sounds tired by was excited to tell us that he thinks Div 212 has the highest score for BS. What an accomplishment! I am really going to have a tough time sitting still till we see our SAILORS! He told me he's going to be master at arms in PIR (behind the front row of flags). I'm praying everyone gets the calls soon, what an incredible feeling! Happy travel to All! Brenda HOOOOOOO-RAAAAAAH!

Woo Hoo! Congratulations-that is so awesome! And the best part is you know exactly where to find him! I am really anxious now-I got my call around 4:00 Central time. He sounded great but like you said Brenda, he was very tired! He said they have been up since 6am Yesterday! His next stop was the NEX for his soda and candy bar.
Congratulations to all of the Ship, especially DIV 212! You guys rock! Next stop, Great Lakes!!! -

I got my call, over a half hour long!!! Wooo hooo. He asked if I wanted the good news or bad news first, ummmm ok bad news. He said I already bought your shirts and pics and DVD of grad, etc so you owe me $400 lol. The good news... 'I'm a Sailor"! I made him say it 3 times and louder each time. He also said their div scored the highest, 4.4. I asked him what he thought of BS and he said it was like a 'funhouse', a ship inside of a building. Can't wait to hear about all the other calls and how your recruits did and what they thought of BS.
Bren, that is so awesome MAA and right behind the front row.
Travel mercies for everyone traveling there and then back home in the coming days. -

That long awaited call finally came! The words "I'm a Sailor!" were beautiful to my ears! Nathan sounded very tired and said most of them cried all the way through the cap ceremony. They played Lee Greenwoods' I'M Proud To Be An American and he said it was very emotional. I am so proud of all of them. He can't wait to sleep. Said they were going to bed at 8pm. What a journey this has been! Thanks for all the great support and feedback!

Ladies I'm so happy for all of you and your Sailors. I know it has been so long coming! I wish that I could be there with you all to end joy this moment, I feel like weve all gone through this together. I know Josh will still graduate, but I won't get to enjoy it with yall. I feel bad that thats what I'm sad about, but it is.
