Thankfully heard from my son tonight! He seems very happy, just looking forward to the exciting things to come. This was my second call. He said he might be able to call again on Thursday! He's 13/363. Hope families were able to hear from their SR's as well!

My Son Aaron is in Ship 13 Div 363 Just wanted to meet some other Mom's in his Division. Hope everyone is surviving the BC experience. His older brother went through BC 2 1/2 years ago. This one has been a lot easier on me, since we have already had 2 phone calls. My oldest son's first phone call came at week 5, missed Christmas & New Years with no calls home! Hope everyone's sons are doing well. I can't wait for 9/27/2013!!

My son Joe is also 13/363. I have also heard from him 2x thankfully! He sounds good! I don't know if I could have handled not hearing from him for 5 weeks! That must have been tough, especially with holidays! Also looking forward to the 27th!

Hi everyone! My SR is my son. Found out he is a stick. Not sure what flag he is carrying yet. Have to wait on his next set of letters for that. Got to talk to him for 16 minutes last Saturday. Made my day. Looking forward to meeting you all. Hope everyone will be able to attend PIR 9/27/13. If you can't make it, let me know. I will be sure to greet your SR and send a hug his way from you. So proud of all these recruits. I know mine has a top bunk. He was falling asleep during lines and whoever was in the top bunk next to him gave him a nudge so he could finish his homework. They are already looking out for each other. :)
Almost forgot. He's in ship 13 div 363.

Does anyone know which week/day Ship 13/Div 363 is? I spoke with my son the other night and forgot to ask him. I was reading the web site that someone had posted called What happens at Bootcamp - http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433 - extremely informative and what great insight. My problem is I have no idea what week/day they are currently on. If anybody has an idea I would so appreciate it. It would be nice to try and follow along in the process.
