My son is also on ship 03 Div 254, I'm a little late getting to this site, my son just suggested I log on during his last letter home! (Sorry!) I can say it was a little hard finding this group, was stuck in the basic group for a while and getting post from mom's who just sent their son/daughter off (brought up how far I have come since day one!!) It's nice to get the letters and the phone call! My son sounded so mature already and positive so that helped! Does anyone know if they are able to call home again? I sent him a extra calling card just in case, but his dad (former Navy) said he only was able to call home once (way back then...)

My husband is in the same div. Did you get a call home about 2 weeks ago because most of us already received our 'I am still alive' call home. If you did not receive a call your SR most likely got their wisdom teeth pulled the weekend the division was allowed to call home. WIth that said, we will only be receiving the 'I am sailor' call which is right before PIR. All other calls will be earned, so don't expect to hear from him until after August 12th.
Welcome to the group :)!

Welcome Jennifer....When I spoke with my son on 7/13 he stated it would be 2-3 weeks before he can call again. I did get a letter last week. It takes some getting used to, I still get choked up but I agree my son sounded more mature in his letter and speaking with him which helps.

Congrats Nicole M... that's a big honor because it's voted on by the recruits in the division. They must have a great deal of respect for him.

My son is Ship 3 Div 254 as well. I received a letter this week that he fractured his heel. I don't what that will mean for him and his PIV date. Anyone out there experienced any hospitalization ???

Hey Nicksmom, the only thing I can say is that it depends on so many things. How bad is the fracture? Did they move him to ship 6? Is he able to still train while he is injured? Will it heal up enough for him to participate in battlestations? If he is not able to finish with this division they will hold him in ship 6 (the medical ship) until he is able to continue training. Only the Navy doctors will be able to tell him all of this after evaluating his injury, and if his PIR date is pushed back he is supposed to call you right away to let you know that he won't be graduating with this division.

Does anyone from 254 have anymore exciting news to share? It's fun to compare notes from other moms, but there aren't many out there from our division :-)

Hi Jill I've been receiving letters about two a week. He is doing well. This week they shot 9mm pistols and shot guns. They are preparing for test 3 and battle stations is coming up. They were going to be doing fire fighting Wed and gas chamber Friday. He isn't going to get his wisdom teeth pulled, hopefully during A school. He stated that he will be going to A school after graduation but I don't know if that means he leaves Sat or Sun. I am staying at the Red Carpet Inn. Very proud of him, sounds more mature and enjoying what he is doing. They got more immunizations this week and their military id. They took pictures last week in uniform and in camos. They passed drill inspections. They get to write letters on Tuesday and Thursday for 30 minutes. This is all I know for now but it is less than two weeks until graduation, can't wait. What head has your daughter said??

Pretty much the same things... We are staying at the Ramada... are you coming to any of the meet and greets? She did get her wisdom teeth pulled... was in pain for a few days, but healed up. Did he happen to mention if they got any flags as a division? What A school is your son going to?
