Recruit arrived at GL week of 6/9 800 division
I am looking for moms who have an 800 division SR at GL currently.
This would be EOD's, SEALS, etc...
I don't think they have holding, so someone might actually know their PIR date. Does anyone know?
This is my son's (also in the Navy) best friend. Both of this young mans parents are deceased and I want to do as much for him as I can while he's at GL.
Thank you!

Write him lots of letters! My brother is there now, and though he gets letters every day, he is begging us for more. Even a "Nothing exciting is happening in my life but I'm thinking of you" letter does the trick. He's great to have you in his life.

Thank you Denise and Falcon!
My son was in Bootcamp last year, and I sent him Soduku puzzles, cards, etc.
The thing that warmed by heart was that my child is not sentimental at all, macho dude LOL, yet when we met him at O'Hare to wait for him to go to P'cola for A school, he had saved every SINGLE thing we had written to him. I realized how important communication is for these kids. It made me so sad to hear that there are young men who never get one piece of mail.
My son told me that mail call is like Christmas Day.
My worry is that this young man who just got to GL has no one to write to him but me, and I want to get his address as soon as I can. He is sending me "the box" and I would love to find a group and/or facebook page for the 800 division that he's in.
Also, I plan to drive to Chicago to stay with him for a while after graduation, take him to dinner, etc. I need to take that Friday as a vacatoin day, so I'm really trying to find out when that PIR date is.asap. In addition, my son is planning to fly to Chicago from his duty station, and needs to put in the leave request.
Thank you for caring, responding, and thinking of this great kid <3
Navy family is truly supportive.
