So the funniest thing my son shared in his recent letter was that he is making great friends- he described them all by last name then added- that's all we have in the Navy. No wonder we all have a hard time linking our kids.
Ordered a coin tonight but am interested in the "ribbons" that have been mentioned- can anyone fill me in?

Thank you!!! Ordered this and even found a car sticker with "Navy Nana" on it! (That's what my SR calls her grandmother). Just wish they had a "Navy Brother" sticker for my son. He's so proud of his sister and wants to put one on his truck. Anyone know where we could find one?

I just went on ebay and they had Navy Brother and Navy Sister stickers, license plate covers - you name it.

Hello ship 12 div 089 moms. I just received a call from my SR. Just thought you might like to know and hopefully everyone gets a call. They are on week 4 day 2 he was fitted for his dress uniform. I can't wait to see them at PIR. I have to watch the PIR ceremony video a couple more times so I won't blubber like a big baby.Lol. Hoping everyone gets calls.

Can't believe that they are 1/2 thru their journey.

Can anyone recommend some nice places to eat and see in Chicago. I have made all our reservations waiting for our recruits coin should be in anytime. Getting ready to start packing. I'm so excited. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Chicago is an awesome town! - I don't think a trip to Chicago (area) is complete without some deep dish pizza from Giordano's. They have several locations in the Chicago area. I have only been to Chicago once and this was recommended from friends, the hotel staff and it was rated pretty high on the web.
We did the Sears Tower kinda pricey and a long wait, Navy Pier (might be too cold) and 2nd City Improv Club (hystertical sketch comedy). The pizza was one of the highlights. My profile picture is of me and my SR by the Chicago skyline in September - the weather was sooo gorgeous.
