Navy Dads

My son arrived at boot camp following a 3 hour delay in Nebraska. He took his cell phone with him (which we knew he would be sending home). The cool thing about him bringing the cell phone was we spoke for at least a full minute. I heard many stories and have read about the 10-15 second phone call. My son is going in as Nuke and I've been reading that they RDC's give Nukes a bit harder time in boot camp. I'm not going to buy that. I told him to keep his mouth shut, ears open and do as he's told. I think he'll do just fine. I've already sent him two letters. His recruiter was on the ball and provided me his ship and division #'s, exactly 3 days after he left and as promised. I'm now just waiting for his next phone call and to get confirmation of his graduation date. If my calculations are correct, I believe he will be graduating Friday August 23rd. That's if he does not get pushed for hits etc. I'm kind of sitting on pins and needles.

Wondering if anyone else got phone calls today? My son is Div 316. He called home today and got to talk for a long time. Called his mom first and then got to also call me. Pretty encouraging first call. It sounds like they were in p hold for a while and are only finishing the first week not there second but he says PIR is still set for aug 23.
