Navy Dads

This Discussion is intended as a place where parents and other loved ones who have SRs with a PIR of 30 November to gather and meet-and-greet and talk about this adventure.  Of course, I suppose anyone is welcome. 

If anyone knows of others on facebook and navyformoms.com, please direct them this way, too.

Hopefully, this will be a place where we can share stories about phonecalls and letters from our SRs. 

And I look forward, already, to meeting all of y'all at PIR.

Sincerely,

Scott

Attention on deck!

From RTC:

There will be FIFTEEN divisions graduating Nov. 30th. RTC is abiding by the policy that Active Duty/military retirees and children twelve and under do not count toward the 4 invitations each recruit receives. However, if an individual is not on the access list they will NOT be able to enter the drill hall (NO stand by). Please plan on arriving at least two hours before the ceremony, which begins promptly at 9 a.m. Thanks to all for your continued support of Recruit Training Command, the Navy's only boot camp!

Speaking of Thanksgiving, the VFW post in Villa Park offers Thanksgiving dinner for about 200 recruits from RTC. It's possible that some of your recruits might attend this event. If you hear of them, let them know that I am planning on being there to help serve. I only live about 90 miles from there. I will be the bald guy wearing a NavyDads polo shirt and a NavyDads apron.

I am adopting your son for Thanksgiving.  Apparently our boys have become fast friends in boot.  We will be going to a Thanksgiving Buffet at a Hotel so that the boys will have options.

So my SR doesn't like turkey but I hope he gets out to do something, he wanted me to come up a week early but can't so i have to wait till graduation.So HAPPY VETS DAY TO ALL and thank you for serving

That is so awesome that you can do this for us,sense we cant get to see him  for Thanksgiving, we cant wait to meet you and everyone else at graduation, so thanks again

If anyone out there runs into my son, Burton, on Thanksgiving, please take a picture.   He hurt his knee and got pushed back ...  He's been gone 8 weeks at this point....

I hope so, thanks.

BK, we all feel your pain. It will be wonderful when you get your picture of your son with a big smile on his face.

No news from 802 so far this week, but today is mail day.... I'm hoping!

Will let you all know if I get any news.

We will have fully charged cell phones with the boys can make calls to whom ever they would like and for as long as they like on Thanksgiving.

That's so awesome that some of our SR's have already made close friends.

 

If anyone is going to Sarge's for the Meet and Greet-- my middle son has made a poster for Div 801/802 so we can easily find each other... Look for this>>>
