Navy Dads

Hi all, My son is in his 2nd day of Boot. I am so grateful for this site. I have already learned so much about what to expect, and how to plan for the upcoming events. I look forward to reading and learning more throughout the next 8 weeks.

My son is in the same. Shop 11 div 050. He called my wife on Saturday. Unfortunately, she missed the call. She was so bummed. No message. We now have that # programed into our phones so that we can recognize the #. We booked our flights today as well as lodging. Cant wait to hear or see him.
Sorry Ship 11

Tell me about it , I carry my phone everywhere I go now.

Just received his first letter with all grad.info.

He is  ship 03 div 052

 

My son arrived at Great Lakes on Tues 20 Nov 2012, he called his wife spoke briefly and said he will write in 2 weeks.  So we are not sure of what his division number is.  Looking forward to finding other parent of sailors also in his division.

It was great today to get a chance to talk to our son this morning. Since we missed the first call, we have all had our phones ringer turned on at all times. Bothy times that he has been able to call has been on a Saturday. He sounded great.
Can't wait to hear from him again.
We have booked our airfare, and hotel for PIR.
My son also called today He arrived at boot on 11/12 PIR is on 01/04
He sounded much better than his first call home.
He is in ship 03. Div 52
He said all was good .
Hey Joseph, my son is graduating the same day. Ship 3 div 50. Have you made reservations for a hotel yet?

My son also called today.  My wife and I enjoyed a 10 minute conversation with him.  This is the second Saturday in a row that he has been able to call.  He has a friend who left a week before him and graduates on 12/28.  His parents have yet to recieve a phone call other than the initial "I'm here, I'm ok" call. I guess it really up to the discrection of the drill sergeant on how often they get to call out. 

 

I made reservations at the Springhill Suites by Marriot and got a better rate than what I found online by calling the hotel directely. I was able to get a King suite at $89.00 a night with the "Navy Graduation" discount.

my son is also in ship 03 div 052
