Hi everybody! I have a son on Ship 02 Div 915, and just like many of you, we are so anxious to hear from him. I'm brand new to this site--and a first time Navy mom. Want to tell you how much I appreciate reading the posts here, it has really helped. Lots of "Mom questions" have been running--at high speed--through my mind. I am guessing that my son is either on drill squad, a "body snatcher" or door holder for the duration. Hmmm. He's scheduled to go to A-school in Groten immediately after graduation on March 2nd. Not sure if I can say what his M.O.S. is, but he was really happy to be starting this new path. :-)

Very cool, Jackie! Where are you from? How are you holding up over there without hearing from your Sailor yet? Hope all is well with our kids. They say, no news is good news.. :-)

Welcome Betsy...I think I am holding up pretty well. I live in Wisconsin so we will be driving down to PIR. Where are you from? I am not much of a crier so I haven't had the crying thing going on like most others moms/wives. I felt sort of out of the norm but then a couple other moms posted that they haven't cried either. The only time I got a little soppy was when we received his form letter and he wrote how he was going to tough it out because he wanted us to be proud of him. I wanted to scream at him, "don't you know how proud we are of you already??" Our sons are not in the same ship or division right now but they will be together at A school in Groton. I am going with the no news is good news theory. I would like to have a letter from him because I do wonder what & how he is doing and if division has gotten any awards.

Cool to know that our sons will meet in Groten eventually! I appreciated what you said, and can relate. Like you, I am not usually much of a crier, either. The emotions come flooding at unexpected moments for me. The grocery story is full of triggers for "kleenex moments"; other shoppers probably wonder why I get teary in the dairy section and practically run through the cereal aisle..? My SR seemed to always have a yogurt cup in his hand, and was a mad cereal junkie. One of my questions to him will be, how are you surviving without your daily box of Raisin Bran? haha We couldn't be prouder, and can't wait to hear something.
(We are from the Cleveland area..and will definitely be coming to PIR with our crew!)

I think my son has probably been through taco bell detox...poor guy! lol!

That's too funny about Taco Bell withdrawal. (Not to him, I'm sure!) We made our reservations a couple of days ago for the Courtyard..their rates are great and the rooms are (usually) super clean.
Does anyone know how long they usually get to talk when they first get to call home? :-)
