I would love to pre-order - if it's ready in time for PIR, that would be great. If not, still great! I am deeply amused that THIS is the ship my computer-nerd son was assigned to. Wait 'til I tell his Dad!

Has anyone found any pics of ship 03 yet? Dying to see my recruit! LOL

My son got his first paycheck today! (It was deposited into his bank account.) I wasn't expecting that. Somehow I thought he wouldn't get paid until AFTER BC. Here's a question: what rate do they pay SR's at? At the expected rank at graduation or is there a base rate for SR's? In theory, he'll graduate BC at E-3.

My understanding is they pay at E-1 unless they have advanced while at Boot Camp and then they will retro it back to the beginning of Boot Camp after he graduates from Boot Camp. Yes, my son got his paycheck also - I asked him on the phone yesterday if it eased his "pain" any to know he was getting paid for all this - he said, "Heck, yah"!!

Has any one from DIV 039 heard if their SR have had newspaper clippings, stamps, etc "confiscated". Just wondering because I sent some band aids, if he was able to keep them I want to send more. I also sent a large envelop with extra postage so he could send back mail he has received....save some room.
