    Hi Juan,

      No Sir. He's just getting started on his basic training.  I'm guessing his graduation date will be April 26th. Thanks for your reply.  Mike

    Michael:

    Is you son/daughter shipping soon?  Indeed, I have this site extremly helpful and lots of support from wonderful people.  My sons grad is April 12th, so I counted right!

    We have received letters and phone calls, all is well...

    hang in there..

    Juan

    My son was allowed to call on Friday, that was unexpected.  We were worried at first, based on the "no news is good news" premise.  Luckily everything is ok.  He sounded really upbeat which was great for my wife and I.  He said he's eating well but not getting to much sleep, but other than that and all the yelling and verbal abuse he was doing good.  

    He indicated also that some recruits had quit after a few days, I'm wondering if that's normal.  He is assigned to an 800 div and apparently the hard PT hadn't begun yet.  I'm wondering when they'll start the training.

    Good luck to all!

    Hello Juan.  Yes he flew out Monday, 2/11 and we received the letter on Friday, 2/15.  As long as there are no set backs, we plan are seeing him on Friday, 4/12 at PIR.  Good luck and thank your son for serving.  Leonard

    Prob not cause indoc takes a week and you will get a letter in the navy pretty quick  in about a week and they will give you the date of his graduation they give you plenty of time to make plans. If you buy plane tickets make sure are able to move the date of the tickets because sometimes they can be pushed back and he might get a different grad date..Remember now that he is in the military nothing is never certain, you will find things change a lot..The saying in the Navy goes hurry up and wait...My son sat at basic for about 2 weeks without doing anything

    Thanks Leonard, so did you get the letter already? That was quick.  My son left 2/13
