Greetings Navy family,

My daughter in law Desiree, is curently entering her last week of boot camp ( she is assigned to ship 11, div. 276 ). She graduates this coming Friday, Aug. 26. She is currently going thru battle stations., She has about 1:45 mins left. My son told me that all the recruits have to sign a non disclosure agreement prior to the exercise. Can anyone tell me if there is any truth to that. I am sure there are some things about the simulator that are classified, but…

Hello Fellow Navy Dads of Ship 09 Div 315

I am trying to find other Members that have a sailor within this group.

I am unable to find any blogs from this group, please contact me to share info on our sailors.

Theresa;

           Where did you read that the shuttles or taxi will get you in sooner? Do they use a different entrance or do they let you off at the gate and walkin is faster?

Fred

Larry;

       Any ideas on time frame for getting to the graduatioh on time. We have reservations in hotel supposed to be 5 miles from the base. I understand gates open asround 6 and have to be in seats by 8:45. We will be in our own vehicle and are wondering about actual time required between getting to gate, parking and getting into building?

Anyone else?

  Our Conductance to the families of the ones lost,Thank you for all of your sacrifices from the families to the SEALS.You all make us so proud of all of you, just knowing we have the best anywhere.

USS BOXER, At Sea (NNS) -- U.S. Navy ships and aircraft are searching for a Sailor from USS Boxer (LHD 4) who went missing while the ship was conducting maritime security operations in the Gulf of Aden today.



The Sailor did not report to watch and after a search of the ship, man overboard was called away.

My Son will be graduating form boot camp on 080511 and leaving the next day for "A" school in Florida. My family plans to attend the graduation and take him to Chicago on Friday via the METRA train . Anyone have any comments about the METRA and your experience visiting Chicago the day of graduation. Also I have heard I can give my son a backpack to take back on base to take with him when he flies to Florida. Does anyone know if he will be able to take the backpack back on base right after…

Is there anyone other than me with a sailor in Ship 02 Division 942....CAN I GET A HOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!

it either shines or it doesn't, when it starts blinking it becomes annoying and is replaced.. that is the essence of a SEAL. He does what he is supposed to do and lets others enjoy the benefits of his mission... He does not seek glory, his reward is a mission accomplished and the knowledge that he was there when required

These men, my son among them, are being subjected to the most intense scrutiny of the year due to the soft approach of previous classses. I say Soft even though BUDS soft is pretty brutal. Either way the ones that get through are very special and the ones that try and don't make it have nothing to be ashamed of.... Prayers for all of them, I am in awe of their commitment but not surprised that America still produces such men,,,,

If you ever get the chance to go on a

tiger Cruise- GO. You have an excelent chance to find out what youR SAILOR does and what the Navy is all about. I had a chance to go on an LHA and a CVAN. What trips.

I haven't seen much about this group. I hope they are pulling together and are on track for a August 26 graduation!

My wife has sent our son a letter that she expected some sort of notification from the Recruit Training Center if his hands were broken since she hasn't received a letter from him yet.
