My son is on ship 12 division 159... My wife is on the Navy for Moms wedsite and she was told that, there is 88 on ship12 division 159, and that 10 of them got to write or call. She was told that the rest of the division are having a hard time folding their clothes...Did any of you parents heard anything lately?

Joie, we just received 2 letters and a phone call yesterday. Our son didn't mention any of that only to say that only 12 out of 81 passed inspection in which he was one of them. Their division lost 7 recruits, which means they will be held back from graduation. What is your son's name? I will tell my son to look for him. My son Jon has been advanced to Recruit Petty Officer 2nd Class.

Joie,

Glad to hear that you heard from your son. We're waiting for additional letters but they don't have a whole lot of down time. But it sounds like everything is going pretty good for them.

Anyway, you mention that you work at a golf course. So do I. I work in the pro shop at a course here in Pennsylvania. If we meet up in Great Lakes, we can trade golf stories.

Yea, hopefully we see ech other at PIR. We are staying at the Ramada Waukegan. They have a Meet and Greet for Navy parents the night before graduation. If you are staying there, we'll see you and talk golf! By the way, do you play?
