My son arrived at bootcamp August 16, 2012 - anyone else?
I have searched through the forums but couldn't find any other discussion with that date...if there was another one, sorry!! I'm totally new to this website so I'm having a heck of a time figuring things out. There are so many abbreviations (going to study the guide on here) and I don't know which ship, etc. my son is in. A friend of mine told me that this place was a fantastic tool to figure out everything we are going through. I look forward to hearing from someone in the same boat (ha-ha) as me!

A friend of mine son left Seattle on the 15th and reported on te 16th , We are waitng on info for his Ship and Division, she got his box but no form letter, the form letter will have this info, if you do not receive it you can call his recruiter and they can give that info to you. My Son went through boot camp in Feb . Dont worry you will hear something soon, the Navy is taking care of your recruit, if you have any quests let me know, I will try to help.

Hi BP's mom. Thanks for friending me. I have been on this site since my SR went to bootcamp but still have a hard time manovering around it, like the fact that I can't find your message you sent to reply to since I read it. Anyway I talked to my son for about 10 minutes yesterday since he was using another shipmates phone. He will not get his electronics and misc items until Friday (keeoing fingers crossed). I did not go to airport and now wish I had but that is old news so now to concentrate on San Antonio.
