Yes Jack, that would be fun to meet at graduation. Maybe during the big wait after we enter the hall and before the ceremony starts. If you are a Facebook user, there is a forum under the RTC Facebook page. Look in the forum for Ship 04/ Div 119 PIR 4 /13/ 2012. Try using this link to the forum. https://apps.facebook.com/forumforpages/324592704650/a312379a-27fe-...
Good to hear Jack. My son indicated he too was having fun, but that was EARLY in the experience. We can only hope it is still true! Also, I did send Travis a note on Saturday and told him to look up Caleb in his division.
Todd my wife called me in San Antonio and told me that we did receive the form letter and on the back he said a couple of things but said he was having a great time. He is on Ship o4 Division 119.
Jack- Be warned, from what I have read, the recruiters don't always have the most up to date information about ships and divisions. There are times when SR's get moved to a different ship or division for various reasons. It is up to the SR to mail family if they are moved like this. Being out of town like you are, You may want to confirm with your recruiter if your SR is still in the same ship/div. - Todd

Todd I forgot to tell you. The Recruiter gave us our SR's address the day following President's day. He checked on his computer which was down and called me back a couple of hours later with the address.

I've read this message to late as the post person has already picked up the mail. My next letter I will pass on your sons name. My SR's, I've got to get use to using the Acronym, last name is Hensley.
Thank you NavyDads Admin (Paul) for the heads up on how the recruits address each other.
My father was in the Navy for 30 years. His last command over NURDC, Naval Underwater Research and Development Center. On the bottom of the ocean off on San Clemente Island they built a SDS (simulated distressed submarine) so the DSRV (deep submergent rescue vessel) could practice mating with a sub.
This was in the late 60's during all of the protest and everywhere else SDS stood for students for a democratic society.
Thanks for the hint about names Paul. Jack, yes, I will be happy to send a note to Travis. My SR's last name is Sonflieth if you want to pass that on. I am curious how you know his ship and division if you did not also know the PIR date? Did you get his ship/division from his recruiter? - Todd

Todd I know it will be busy but I hope we get to meet at graduation.
