Good morning to all of you. Have any of you heard any more from your SR. Mine said he was invited home to his bunk mates home for Christmas. I am so thankful for this family for inviting him. I know he would not go to a strangers home if he did not feel comfortable. So, I can only imagine what a wonderful son they must have. I hope these young men will become lifelong friends. I know my son always wanted a brother close in age, now he has quite a few.

Hello all - my son is Ship 13, Div 049 and will be going to Mississippi for A school. He's sent me a list of things to bring and said I will have to bring them to him at the airport when he flies out. Does anyone know when they will fly out? I was hoping to spend a day with him after PIR.

My son is Div 049 and going to Groton for A school. When I talked with him last week he seems to be doing very well and says they have been doing a lot of folding. I wonder how that is going for him because he never did a piece of laundry when he was home. Anyway he sounded great. I'm so excited to see him on Christmas. He is bring a friend with him and that is great. I just wish there was something I could put under the tree or in a stocking for them. The friend he is bringing home has intials CH so if you are his mom, dad, girlfriend, just know that we will take very good care of him and feed him well.
