I was just wondering if anyone found the facebook page with Ship-O3 Div-173.  They do not take request and because of that they do not post the ship and division, but I spotted my son in a picture they posted of the new recruits entering their ship on April 17th.  I was so excited......

Hello Helenmary;   I haven't heard much from Jeramy, since the surprise 4 minute call, he said there was so much he wanted to tell me but not enough time, and I could hear them Yelling his time count in the back ground.   Im glad they are getting all the necessary dental work done though, ever since I could remember, I have been obsessed with brushing my teeth, and I think I instilled some of that on to my son. I bet now he is glad I nagged him to brush brush brush, or he would be getting root canals along with wisdom teeth extractions.  

By the way my son is # 4 in the Picture I am posting. I just had to, he is so handsome, and Im so proud of him.

I wish I had the courage all these Young men and women have.  We Have done a good job raising these HERO's in Training..

Hi NavyWife12, hey that rhymes with DavidsWife....Hmmmm lol
Yay, I'm glad you see him, that is awesome.
the album I found them is " new division arrives at their ship April 17, 2012 "
The Mail man just brought my first letter from my son, Yay!!!!!
I thought I would cry, but I just laughed and smiles.
He is such a good son taking care of his Momma even when he is 1,500 miles away....
He told me it was kinda like a Summer Camp, except for the Shots, 5 needles in each arm, and one in the Butt.
LOL...
I know i just got a letter today to my hubby said he made squad/section leader he is like third in charge and if they
continue to do good they get phone calls every weekend

I saw it. I spotted my son in one of the photos. It was so exciting!!!

He happened to not yet have his hat on as everyone else did or I would have never recognized him. 

Traci, that is so awesome.
Hi Navywife03173, I hope they get to call this weekend too, The letter I got from my SR was more about the plane ride. He had never been on an airplane and he loved it, and he hated the shots. I wish he would have told me more, but there is still next week.

Jeramys Mom - How exciting!!! Good for you....that must have been wonderful!  I keep looking, but have not seen my son.
