If you go to friends and start typing Recruit Training Command it should come up. If you have a problem I will give you my name you can friend me and then get to it that way. I think the official name is U S Navy Recruit Training Command. The Navy has a bunch of pages.

Great Thanks!
My daughter said she has a great rack mate. They do tag team making their beds.
Her blisters have gone away on her feet so life is good. One day at a time.

Haven't heard anything about battlestations yet, every letter I write I ask him to tell me as soon as he knows. I made our plane reservations this morning. Now all that is left is the car rental. I can't believe it is less then 3 weeks away. I feel like my nervouse are getting worse again because they are so close...I keep praying nothing goes wrong and no one is injured and they all pass everything. GO DIV 170!

jdmom,
I feel the same way! I guess we are in training too, practicing patience and dealing with the unknown. It is difficult to know the schedule. In his phone call our son told us the they are in a push division because 21 of their members were a week late arriving. They had to wait for them. His last letter was from April 17th. In it he said that this past week was going to very intense because they had to learn alot in a short time.
I tried to figure out from the website and I think their battle stations start sometime around May 5. The website said they usually start the thursday the week before graduation. I can't wait for the "I am a sailor"
phone call.
I imagine the first holiday is the toughest so I am praying everyone has a blessed Easter.

I think my son was one of those late arriving he shipped on Monday 3/21 and most everyone in his division that I knew are from the prior week. I really wonder if any of our boys talk, my son hasn't given me any names. He did mention that one of the guys of few bunks down had gotten the same N4M survey he had gotten. The best Mother's Day present would be if they are the group to go through Battlestations Thursday night before, that would mean they were in the first group through but I have a feeling they will be the middle group going through on Sunday night. But I am just guessing.
Have a wonderful Easter and I know we will all be saying extra prayers in Church for our SRs.

If they are like the girls, they are not allowed to talk to each other except at night before bed.
Have a wonderful Easter to all Navy Personal, SR's , Sailors and Familys.

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter! Praying all of our SR's will have a blessed day and will be energized and ready to start what sounds like a very busy week. It is getting closer and the anticipation and excitement is in all of our hearts isn't it??? Have a wonderful Easter day!
