Hey everyone... I just wanted to introduce myself. My son is in the same div 15 as your sons/daughters. I was wondering if any of you are from CA? It turns out we will be taking part in the adopt a Sailor program and along with my son we will be adopting a buddy of his from CA. I just thought it would be neat to let his mom/dad know.

Hi ALL,
My Son is also Ship09 Div015, we are from Louisiana. I havent had a lot of luck on this website making connections. I find it difficult!! However it is very informative. I have received several letters and one phone call. My sons Job is Religous Petty Officer, He said he spends alot of time at the church. I received a letter this morning, he stated they get to write twice a week now and will probably be calling again on 11/13/2010 and for me to make sure I keep my phone with me. The letter was written on 11/5/2010 he stated they started their SEAMAN SHIP CLASSES today. -

A lot of this group moved over to a Facebook page. It is a private group that you cannot view over the internet, but you can see it exists. If you are on Facebook, do a search on Ship 09 Div 015 and send a request to join. There several of us talk regularly.

Welcome April! Hope to see you on FB. My family is from Wi... sorry you have not had a lot of luck connecting with anyone on the Navy for mom's website. It took me many attempts to connect... I tried several groups. Very cool... your sons job is a Religous Petty Officer. Is that like a Chaplin? My son also mentioned he has been attending church and reading his Bible to help him cope. My son will be doing A school in San Antonio for a MA (Master at Arms). I have received 1 phone call and 2 letters (1 note really).
