And From RTC WEBSITE:

My input:

Our Son Maxwell will Graduate this Friday April 15th, 2011 (Ship 09 Div 136). We are so proud of him and the accomplishments thus far. He will be continuing to Monterey, CA where he will be studying a foreign language CTI.

We are hoping he will get ten days of leave, but we are not certain yet.

Does anyone else have a Son or Daughter in this ship /division, and also maybe going to Monterey,…

Well it has been a while but I'm back. My son Wyatt just called from MEPS in Portland Or. and he is now in the delayed entry program for the Navy. He will be on that until November. He wants the Master at Arms job, so he wants to wait for the job to open. If one comes available before November he will go early. We are very proud of him and all the hard work. I will keep you all up to date on whats going on. He's finely on his way.

Take care and be safe.

Eight warships are headed to Japan to render disaster relief in the wake of a catastrophic magnitude 8.9 earthquake that left hundreds dead Friday. The quake unleashed a tsunami that is tearing across the Pacific. It unmoored two subs and is forcing other ships to get underway or ease their lines as the surge waters arrive, according to updates posted on official Navy Facebook pages across the region…

Thanks for all the information listed on this site, my family has watched many of the videos and the information concerning his boot camp upcoming.

My son Josh leaves this weekend, while I was at a point in my life where I went to Air Force Training in Lackland AFB, I was alone and did not have the pressure of leaving anyone.  My parents were divorced at that time.  My son though, has my wife and myself, his Church Family and friends from his high school graduation feeling the effect…

Any other parents have recruits in this division? Have you received any letters yet?

Thank you to all who have welcomed me to this great site! Thanks!

And to those who sent thanks and good wishes to my daughter, currently a SR at Great Lakes and a future Hospital Corpsman, and my son, currently a Marine deployed in Afghanistan, I really appreciate it!

Thank you very much!

Is anyone out there a member of the Navy League of the United States?

This looks like a worthwhile organization to join, but I'd like to get some first-hand knowledge and feedback from a member.

Thanks!

I have one sailor on truxtun and  another sailor on Abraham Lincoln.

I'm new to all the info. If anyone.... can send me any info.... I will appreciate.....

WOODBURY, Tenn. - A military mom said she would do anything to answer her son's phone call from overseas, no matter what the cost.



Some seven months ago, Lance Corporal Mark Rhyne left the little town of Woodbury, for the remote deserts of Afghanistan.



"I told my son the day he deployed as he was about to get on that bus, 'I will stand in your steed while you are gone, I will stand,'" his mother Teresa Danford said.



On Monday, while working inside the Crane…

Hello,

My Dad's name is William Robert Visnaw and he served in Corpus Christi, TX from 1958 thru 1962.  He flew on the S2F Tracker and I also believe he was on the USS Antietam for a short stretch during those years.  I am very proud of who the Navy helped mold him into (but of course I do need to give as much credit if not more to his mother) :)  Although there is a side of him that if he was anything like he is today that he was back then, then you will know of him being…

Hello Navy Dads,

My name is Justin and I have been in the Navy for 9 years. My brother recently swore in and while answering his Pay questions, I realized how new sailors and their families can have little knowledge of all the different pays and benefits. I have created a website which is meant to help out my fellow Sailors (I don't advertise or accept pay of any kind) which is designed as a one stop shop for all current Navy pay information, and links to Navy related…
