PIR 6/21/13. Ship13 Div 229

[David Garland]

We received the form letter the other day. Our SR is on ship 13 division 229 PIR 6/21/13. He was to fly out of Knoxville April 16th for RTC but the storms in Chicago caused the flights to be cancelled 3 days in a row.So they sent my son and 5 other recruits up there in a van. From the contact I had with him during the trip,it wasn't a very good experience for them. The elderly lady driving the van wouldnt use the ac and wouldnt roll a window down when she smoked.But I'm sure he is doing well now,he is the type person that thrives on challenges. I would love to hear from anyone with a SR in the same ship&division.

My daughter is PIR 21JUNE2013 Ship14, I cannot believe how time is flying by, and I am so glad to have NavyDads to keep me informed and let me know what all the other families are going through and feeling. I received my first real letter last night, and loved her descriptions of everything she has been a part of so far.Her Dad was Navy, my Dad and my sister also. I am most definitely Navy proud, and thank all the recruits for stepping up to the plate, and their families for supporting them!
