Proud Dad

Got some letters from my son Alex who is in Ship 03 Division 019. My wife had to read the letters to me since i drive cross country for a living. My son Alex is doing well and said he found his place in life. His family is very proud of him and we are looking forward to his graduation on the 30TH of November. He also looking forward to going to A school in Groton,CT.

PIR Question

I was wondering if most people take binoculars to PIR to be able to spot their sailor in the sea of lookalikes. Is it the norm or will I look like a geek? Just a thought I had today. 

We still have a month to go before PIR on 11-9.

Almost a Year

Well its been almost a year since my daughter joined up and what a year its been.

She met, and fell in love, with a fellow student at A school and they got married. My daughter is pregnant with our first grandchild and the Navy has been fantastic with all the care and support. Yes, they take care of their own.

Right now, my new son in law has received orders that will take him away form my daughter for the short term, but they will reunite after the birth in February. In the…

Final days of boot camp

He mentioned 2 weeks ago he may get a chance to play volleyball. I had to pull it out of him because he is deflecting any personal achievements especially in a team sport;however he did say his div 338 team won the championship & beat the special opps team in volleyball. He also told…

First Phone Call

We got a call from our SR John today.  Ship 3 Div 370- It was sure good to hear his voice. Seems to be doing well. He said he is the Master at Arms "currently". Sounds like fun. He gets to yell but said yelling at bootcamp is the norm so it does not seem odd. He said about 15 recruits have had wisdom teeth removed so far and he should next week. They are on day 2-5 as of today. They had their first academic test this week. He thought the swim test was very easy. He said they eat well in the…
