Hi Xraytech1, nice to meet you too! Raleigh is my hometown, and all three of my children were born there. We now live in Danville, VA about 90 minutes from Raleigh (north of Greensboro). My son left out of Fort Lee MEPS, near Petersburg VA.
Is your SR a recent high school graduate? My college son's (not navy) roommate from Lumberton is Braylon J. (not navy), who just graduated in 2015. My SR graduated in 2015 as well.
My husband did his internship for grad school in Fairmont in 1992 (give or take a year). He worked in the town hall as assistant town manager to Scott Dadson. He knew most of the town employees at the time.

That is great to know! Glad to hear you got 2 letters. I posted in our PIR group that I got a letter yesterday so so happy. He said they have a lot of potenial and a good group of guys which made me smile. Did not hear about the swim test but I am hoping since he grew up swiming that was not an issue. It's the folding and clean up stuff I am wondering about. He asked for lots of mail too. Glad the food is good.
