Hey Sunshine 1994 and Janie....my son is ship 12/Div 331 also and I haven't heard from him since a short phone call on 1 Aug. We have gotten a few short letters the past 2 wed. I desperately would love to hear from him but i'm sure they are busy busy learning. But were on the down slope...counting down to 6 Sept!! Were from IL, only about a 5-6 hr drive for us so, can't wait to get there!! Are you all coming to PIR?

i am sorry to hear that..i have gotten three letters so far..usually on a thursday. Hopefully you will soon..we look so forward to them dont we. Is your son going to A school in florida..janie
Thank you! I cry multiple times a day. Doesn't seem to be getting any better. Just think... this is only weeks. Just imagine 9 months! :(
Hey Division 331...we received mail today! A phone call would be GREAT but I'm happy w/ mail too! We got 3 letters, so great to hear from him! Hope you all get to do the Happy Dance at the mailbox this week!
Whoo----hooo!! A letter today. He sounds good. DIV 332 earned an Academic flag. He thinks he will get at least one more phone call but the RDCs have been taking time away every time someone goofs off. :( I am so excited to see him in a month.
OK----while we wait for the next phone call<G> and the end of week 4, let's make plans to meet at PIR.. We (That would be the SR's mom, dad and brother) are going to Sarge's meet n greet on Thursday night, 9/5/13.
Anyone else going there?
Yes..three of us are going..we live 30 min. Away thank god. Janie and jerry newberry
Whose son or daughter is going to A school in florida??
Finally got to speak with my son today Ship 12 Div 332. He sounded great they just finished the rest of the training he said and now has some time to rest. Waiting for PIR next Friday, cant wait to see him. Was hoping for A School in Florida however he is staying in Great Lakes, gets to come home in November for couple of weeks then off to Japan. Hopefully get to meet some of you at Sarges Meet and Greet.
@ Melissa...I just saw your post that your son was staying in GL for training and then heading to Japan in Nov. Same exact plans that my son has...wonder if they know each other. My son is in Ship 12/Div 331 and got orders to Yokuska Japan aboard the USS George Washington.
