This is so great that we have so many "little ones"! My son, Austin has a 5yr old brother - will be 6 in November. And it is a great age - his brother would love a letter from him but is more excited to be there at PIR!!!

Hi, I'm Lisa. My son is in 03/338. Phone calls are next to none; just the first night and one really short one two weeks ago. We are from Riverside, CA. We got one letter last week, none this week, although his girlfriend says she received a letter this week and a call...that she missed....Forrest says he only has about 30 minutes to write letters so, yeah, mom is getting the short end of the stick, but that's okay, he isn't a big writer anyway. Letter short and sweet, sounds busy. L

Hi Audrey! Welcome!! My son is also in Ship -03 Div -337, his name is Kevin T. I think the post refers to challenge coins. Four of the Ships have specific coins for their Ship, but there's not one for the Hopper. I bought Kevin an RTC coin and one with the Navy Creed. Hope this helps! debbie

Hello Audrey, I am Nancy and my son Josh is 338....PIR 10 12 also...... The BTW means by the way.....
the link is for a really cool challenge coin, which the sailors earn during their enlistment , however there is no coin for bootcamp given so this is a RTC recruit training command coin to start them off and congratulate them on Boot camp. go to the site and type in RTC Navy and it should come up. Its really nice, two sided and very cool. I am from Fullerton, so we are neighbors!! All that you son said is true from what my son said. Ihave only rec'd one letter from him, but it was a good one. I am hoping he spent his half hour yesterday writing to me. I am lucky because he has no girlfriend to split his time with. LOL Nancy
