Hotel

FYI- I read that some one said they were staying at the Ramada Inn in Waukegan Il. for the graduation on August 24th. I was just about to book the rooms I needed, but before I did that I read the reviews for the hotel. No good. All the reviews were bad. One of the reviews said it was a hang out for the area kids to party. I would think twice about this hotel.

Divisions

Whats the difference in the divisions. My son is in a 900 division and I see that that is more for the band and marching. How do you get picked for that division. My son was never in a band. He actually told me in a letter that the 900 divisions are the better of them. How do they make that determination, and how does that affect him when he graduates.

My son

We got our first call from my son Friday night. he is on Ship 2 Division 941. He sounded great. He told me all about what he is going through. While he was talking he was also laughing at some things that had happened. I asked him why he was laughing so much. He told me that he had to get the laughter out of his system because he can't laugh during the day. Then my wife calls me today and says we got a letter from him. It must have been written some time ago because it sounded like he was…

Contact with deployed sailors

Hello Everyone -

I have not logged in for a while. My sailor has finished training and is now an EM3 on the USS Enterprise. Mom and Dad and the rest of the family are very proud!

Big E left Norfolk in March and is currently in the Persian Gulf. This is my sailor's (Alex) first deployment and he is pretty excited about being a part of a famous ship's last deployment. I have a question for the seasoned Dads on this site. When Alex first left port we could email, Facebook even talk…

Seems Like Yesterday...

Right out of high school, it's almost been a year since my son has served in the United States Navy, 10 months to be exact. Our whole family miss him dearly and yes I still open the door to his room every now and then only to find it empty...



To date we try to keep in constant communication through whatever means possible. May it be him checking my posts on NavyDads.Com, occassional text and phone call, or other popular social networking sites and Skype if we're lucky.…

Thanks jeff for that information, my son left 2 days before your son did and we have not got any information. the only info we have is that he is in division 941. I see that the Aug.17 graduation includes up to division 940. i am assuming 941 will will be on the 24th. My wife is freaking out now because we did not receive anything in the mail.

Graduation date?

My son left for boot camp on June 26th. Does anyone know when the graduation date is. I can't seem to get the exact date. My son called late at night to give us the OK but I don't expect to hear from him again for a couple of week
