Ship 02 Div 937
June 6
My son is in Division 937 and I am already so excited to attend PIR. Has anyone made their hotel reservations yet or am I the only one so anxious she did it BEFORE receiving the official letter?
So far I've only received the "I got here call" and "the box." Reminded me of birth -- naked they came into civilian life and naked they left it for the Navy :)
What a journey we are all on together!

It is the USS Reuben James. I think they are named after retired naval ships. Found it on the RTC Map somewhere on this site, but not smart enought to remember exactly where it was at. Have read so much stuff lately that I can't keep up with where I found stuff. This is all new to me, and I am very inquisitve.

My son has a PIR date 7/27/12 and was sworn in 5/30/12. I got a call last sat am from him. He sounded tired and said it was tough, but he didn't complain about anything. He is 21 and had gone to college and got a 2 year degree in HVAC. It was good to hear from him, but still worry about him every day.

I got my son's information from his recruiter and it was the same as what came in the form letter. I have no idea if that is common, but it worked footprint me! Just like "no news is good news," I'd believe what the recruiter provided until govern something else. Even if they move, mail will follow him. Write and mail those letters. It will all work out.
Glad to hear you got something from him.
As much as you want to hear from him, and you will eventually, just keep repeating, "no news is good news, no news is good news." -

thank you :) i will just have to keep saying that every day :) do you by chance know what week and day they are on?

I don't. I'd only be guessing - but if graduation is July 27, wouldn't Monday June 18 be 3-1? That's how I'm computing it. Should be close.

My son is in Division 937. We received the box last Tuesday and his address/form letter Friday. We are so happy to have an address!! I will be mailing letters that I have been writing since the day after he left. We miss our son so much and I just want to hear his voice, to know he is okay.

Aggiemom, I know what you mean. Unless your son needs information from you to get a security clearance, it doesn't sound like we'll be hearing much from them -- which is good news. I know I have a million questions for my son.
I was just re-reading http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433. I think Monday, the 18th will be the beginning of week three. It's fun to have an idea about what they they are doing. -

Today, 6/18 is the beginning of week 3 since he left...he got to RTC on 6/5. So I think if you consider Processing days, (Pdays on the navydep.com link above) then I'm thinking today is Week 2 (2-1 Day). I may be over-thinking this but that's how it reads to me??? At this point, I'm reading anything and everything I can find and enjoying every minute and it helps!
