My daughter's last name starts with B. I was going to ask her who her friends were, but right then they made her get off the phone. So I got to talk to her like 8 minutes total.

She just called again. She tried to reach her dad but he didn't pick up, so she called me back.
Said when they got there, they'd spent a long time standing in lines for medical. The peanut butter shot hurt like #@$% and some kids fainted. Then before I could ask her anything, someone told her to get off the phone.

Ouch......makes me want to faint hearing that. We had problems getting the call to connect so she blew 4 of those calling cards. We were going back and forth hey can you hear me haha. She was talking about the people she was with trying to remember names and I got 3 of them written down, I'm sure there will be more as time passes. B was not one I caught and wrote down but if I do hear I will let you know. I think its great we can all pass the tid bits along nice to put the pieces together and even better to connect with a Mom they are with.

Yes--it's great to be able to talk to you other moms and share info. I would not like to be doing this alone!
I'm surprised there aren't more people on this page.

Some of us here just don't talk much :-) I like reading everyone's posts, but I'm extremely shy and don't really post much.

Tracie please do not be shy.........this is like a big family. I do feel like we are very close here since our kids were chosen to be in this division. If you do not mind me asking what does your recruits last name start with? Did you get a call Sunday....I think several of us did. Just trying to connect the dots with everyone. BTW Welcome to the board and the family. :)

Thanks! I do feel like part of the family, I just tend to be a more quiet part :-) My SR's last name starts with H. She is a section leader if that tells you anything. She said she had names of several other recruits whose mom's were on here, but I forgot to have her give them to me!
I love that there is this connection for the families. I went through Navy boot camp 22 years ago, and there was nothing like this for my family. I also got to do state flags when I was in, but we weren't a separate division then! -

After reading three sets of letters 5 pages front and back.........I fee like I have been there almost haha. The day she called your girls name was the first name she mentioned to me...I texted myself three last names and that was first on the list. Sounds like they are doing well.......apparently helping out one of the girls bc her sister had surgery recently and she was having a rough go. Sounds like they were pulling together as a team late last week.

I am surprised as well but a lot has been a surprise............I am just so glad we were all fortunate enough to find this group and this board. There are so many 'kids' going in and have no idea what they are in for and neither do their family. I am so glad I dig and research........I just wished we could get the word out to more. My daughter has been telling everyone she is in direct contact with about me being on this board and how much information we have been able to get from it.
I was engaged to my best friend many moons ago..........things were so different then. You did not know anything that was going on, had no way to communicate and did not know about what your SR would be doing.

Good morning y'all! If you have a Facebook please make sure you like U.S Navy recruit training command, they have trivia Tuesday and if any of us answers the first correct answer then they will post a division picture!! Also last week they posted some random pictures taken that day but none were in the 950 division
