Awwww that's awesome I'm glad that our SR are making friends. I bet they are friends that would be awesome, because we're all getting to know each other . We so need to keep in touch. I let my Son know that I joined Navy for Moms in my letters I'm going to be excited to let him know I met you on here and your Son is in the same ship and Div.

We are from Westminster, Maryland. It is really nice sounds like all the SR's in 365 are saying in their letters home that they are making good friends.

Hi, Just found this group. My son is ship 13 Div 366. He left 09/11. I'm reading alot of you got your letters. I still haven't gotten anything other than the form letter. His recruiter said I should stop writing him and then he would contact me to ask why I'm not writing. LOL. I can't quite do that. I had another son leave Monday. I'll just keep watching the mailbox and waiting by the phone.

Mary123, my son also left 9/11, same ship/div. Have not gotten a letter from him yet, some moms from the same ship/div have, don't worry, they keep them very busy, no news is good news, the letters will be here soon. Keep in touch.

Mary123, glad you found us. Please don't stop writing letters.They live for the letters from home. In the beginning, they are only supposed to write on Sundays, though some do sneak to write while in their bunks and they mail them out on Mondays. You hopefully will get a letter today or tomorrow. I've received one letter from my SR in ship 13, div 366 and it was 2 pages long. When my son (PIR 8/31) went in he would write one week to me and one week to his girlfriend then we would share the information with each other. Just make sure to send stamps every once in a while so he doesn't have to buy them there, sometimes they don't have time to get to the NEX to buy them so no letter goes out.

Hi Mary123, My son left 9/11 from Sacramento, CA and he is ship 13 div 366 also. I know they probably go by last name there but we call him Turtle. He is going to be an FC and will have A school in Great Lakes. I got my first letter last Thursday and hoping for one tomorrow. Keep writing to him. My son had not gotten our letters when he wrote and he was very sad.

Thank you all for the upbeat words. We did send him some stamps so that's not an excuse. He isn't much of a writer, so I'll just keep waiting. His brother that left on Monday I bet will write as soon as he can since I've been saying how I haven't gotten anything yet. My Monday SR is the older one and has a girlfriend so I won't expect as much from him. Thanks to everyone for sharing what their SR is saying, but I was sad to read some in Ship 13 Div 366 got in trouble. Anyone know how many are in Div 366?

Luke told me that they started with 91 and now are down to 87 or 88. He said everyone has the sniffles and a cough. One guy was SIQ (sick in quarters) for bad blisters. He said he's a PO (which I guess cleans up for the rest of them) and has another SR helping him (I think he said he was a wrestler, anyone on here have a wrestler?) He said he's never slept better. I guess getting up at 4am would make the little bit of time they get to sleep seem like heaven. As far as some getting into trouble, that is to be expected but nothing to worry about. The RDC's will get them working together as a unit fairly soon. My son PIR'd 8/31. The first few letters were discouraging because they weren't working well together but before long everything clicked. They did so well that their division won Hall of Fame.

My son is in Ship 13 Div. 365 and is a wrestler! Wonder if there friends! In the letters that I have gotten he said that he passed his baseline P.F.A. and that he is the ships overall starboard watch. And it keeps him busy witch he is happy about.He says his ship is becoming family! Which makes me happy!

Hey Jodi, my Turtle wrestled his junior and senior year in high school, so maybe it is him. I so hope they are doing okay.
