- What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
- Best thing he could do, I think, I just did a little research and seen what my son will be doing. He is going to be a navy diver which shouldn't be that bad for him seeing he already has his scuba license. He also signed to be a S.E.R.E. from the video I seen on this he will be eating things he doesn't really eat so the 2 lbs he wanted to lose will not be a problem. Maybe his new nickname will be bear as in Bear Grills, man verses wild the television show.

first- everyone will go out of their way to get mail to the right recurit at whatever address- having the incorrect street should not be a negative factor.
second- your son probably won't get his mail until he is a couple of weeks into the program-- mail is used as a reward for the division coming together and starting to think and act as a unit. Don't get worried if YOU don't hear from him as well....remember that the first couple of weeks are used to help break the ties to home and that they are only allowed, in the first part of boot to write on Sundays...meaning Thursdays are the most likely days for you to receive mail. Also remember that mailing supplies are only available at the NEX meaning he has to get the ok to walk there and back and have the money to purcahse those supplies...advise in your mails to send either postage paid postcards or stamped envelopes to make it easier for him to send you mail.
