Stan I think your date is wrong. Check on the home page of Bootcamp and look at upcoming graduations. It lists div. 202 to 209 plus 298. My daughter is in div 205 ship 12 and that is her date of PIR.

Sorry to here that Jim,my Son Patrick wanted to be a Jet Mechanic and he also found out he had some degree of color blindness at (MEMPS) so he is now going to me a aviation mantenance administration instead so he can still work around the jets

To you boot camp Dads - I'm thinking about you. Those first couple of weeks are the hardest. Once you start hearing from your kids it gets steadily easier. Now nearly every Friday I think about the families converging on RTC and the incredibly proud feeling of seeing your son or daughter out there on the parade floor. I will never, ever forget that moment. Danny' in A school now and doing well - we still miss him but it's a lot easier than boot camp. You all take care and hang in there - and pray for your kids every single day.

Congrats on the phone call! Still waiting patiently for mine. My son, Mark, is in TG29, Div 213. Anyone else have a recruit in Div 213?

Joe G... It was great, but oh such a short call. Only about 4 minutes. But what topped it off was I got a letter from him when I got home that same day. Come on over to the TG 29 Div 210 discussion forum. John Walsh and I have been talking as we have boys in Div 210, but join in as we are also discussing the 5 June PIR Anyone else for 5 June PIR jump in as well.

WooHoo!! Got a phone call from my son. First one since he went in. Said his division (210) was doing well and looks to be on track for 5 June PIR. Sounds like they will be at battlestation early (week 5). Bad news he thinks he'll be grad-n-go. We'll have to wait and see.

Thanks, Geobots2! My wife and I talk about that a lot so that we can get used to it. I think we are ready for that.

Just a reminder to everyone a term we will all have to get used to over the life our kids career is NEEDS OF THE NAVY. I can't tell you how many times I got hit with that in my Navy career. Grad and Go... Needs of the Navy, PCS (Permanent Change of Station)... Needs of the Navy. Many, many times. Normally the grad and go will know something ahead of time, however there are those times when they are told one thing prior to graduation then good ole Needs of the Navy jumps up and Yells Unh Uh. BE FLEXIBLE
