Prior Military Experience

What Brought You To This Site:
my son is recently enlisted
What Were Your Feelings When Your Sailor Joined The Navy:
Sad about his leaving home; we are very close, but also happy for him because he is doing something he has always wanted to do.
Yes Mark he will have to buy them again at the NEX. Call his recruiter and he will have his ship # and div#. He are the address's, all you need is ship# and div#. You should get a letter in the 3rd or 4th week. They will have to earn the privilege as a division to write home. He will be able to receive your letters until then though. The grad packet will come in about half way through or more towards the end. It will have the parking pass and projected grad date. Once you know his ship and div keep checking these dates. Your son's grad date will eventually show up here. The boot camp group is a great place on here to find out what is to come. Keep me posted on Aaron's progress.
Mark- you'll find lots of support from people whom have been there on the site...just post your questions or concerns and I'm sure someone will get back to you pretty darn quick...even though you expereinced this yourself, it's a little different when one of your kids goes off to Great Lakes so share your thoughts!
Hi mark, as far as I know the MA training at Lackland is about 8 weeks. You said your son is in his third week of boot camp, when my son graduated we stayed at the courtyard Marriott in waukegan we were pleased with the hotel & staff the shuttle to base saved time instead of parking a car. I hope this information helped. Good luck to your sailor.
