Hey I saw you wrote on DebBee's wall wondering what the div is doing. My husband was pretty informative so I will share what he has shared with me:
19 December--Send envelopes--the lockers are small. Medical is tomorrow. Food is not bad, not good, just like school food.
22 December--They were issued their blue camis
23 December--They moved to permanent housing which is bigger and makes showering easier. They still haven't gone outside much or saw the sun much at all. They still aren't allowed to work out.
25 December--Learned arms safety with dummy 9mms. They got a few more people from another div because their div was too small. It snowed yesterday and they marched outside and it was very refreshing. Lots of guys are sick but they give plenty of opportunities to sanitize hands. My husband says he is disinfecting like 10 times daily lol.
1 January--They are still in processing, but supposed to start tomorrow. He is having fun and the division is starting to work a little better together.
Hope this helps you understand your son's schedule better!
Thanks for the kind words. I didn't think I would get a call, but was really hoping for a letter. Just received an email from my daughter and she said she got one today from her brother or as she put it---Petty Officer Laundry Man. LOL! Can't wait to hear from him. I am glad to hear you are getting letters and hope all is well with your SR.
So happy to hear you got a letter today!! :) My son's PIR is also 2/18/11. He is ship09 div075. I keep waiting for a letter or a phone call. Anything! I miss him. I'm so glad he's in bootcamp though. He needs it! I'll take any apology I can get from him. He has been really hard to deal with for some time now. I know they are all young and just growing up but OMG it has been a long two years!! I don't expect much in his letter. I know he loves us and misses us. My children are very close and very good friends. There are 5 of them. He just started taking the wrong turns here and there and well, I'm looking forward to a letter from him. I hope he is doing well and I am really excited to see him in February. I can't wait! I know you can't change them but I think the Navy will bring out all the good things in him. Maybe help him reach his potential!! I'm such a rookie at all this Navy stuff. I have a lot of Navy in my family but never as close as a child.
Enjoy your letter you got today. I'm sure it put a big smile on your face and I'm sure you have read it over and over and over! I know I will! :)
Yeah I am so proud of him already! Sometimes just seeing something that reminds me of him brings me to tears of pride and joy.
I am so excited for Charleston!! I'm excited for the weather. I'm from Buffalo, NY and am totally sick and tired of snow. It will be a nice change.
I am also so thankful he's in the nuke program for a different reason--this way we get a slower introduction to the military life. While he will be in school insane hours a day, he won't be deployed so I'm thinking it will be a nice way to ease into it.
I think it's so awesome that your son is carrying on the Navy tradition in your family! Three generations now, I bet his Grandparents are proud!
Hi
