My son Blake is on ship 12 division 159 and is scheduled for PIR on May 6th. Does anyone else have a son or daughter on that ship and division and have you heard from them since they left for boot camp? Thanks, Eric
You need to be a member of Navy Dads to add comments!
Jim, yes I got a call yeterday from my son Blake around 4:00 and he said that he's a sailor also. He said that he leaves out for his A school in Pensacola Florida early on Saturday morning and will be there for about three weeks and then will be going on the USS Enterprise carrier based out of Norfolk Virginia. He said that it looks like he will only get about a week or ten days to come before he ships out on deployment on the Enterprise.
He said that he knows your son Jon and I told him that we have communicated on Navy Dads and he said he is looking forward to PIR next and getting to see us. As I mentioned earlier we are are staying at the Marriott Courtyard in Waukegan on Thursday and Friday night and I look forward to meeting you next weekend. Thanks, Eric
Yes, we are ready! Can't wait. We got a phone call last evening from our son Jon. (Easter) Did you? Jon is very excited about graduation. He said they are all doing very good. They earned all their flags and are now eligible for the flag for "Honor Division". I hope they make it. They went through the gas chamber and Jon said when he got out, he vomited. Oh well, so it goes.
We are staying at the Ramada, Waukegan. We are flying in on Thursday and leaving on Sunday. My wife and your ex have been talking to each other on Navy4Moms. I think she said that she is staying at the Ramada also. Hopefully, you and I can meet at the PIR.
See you very soon.
Jim

Jim, Art and Joie are you all ready to head to Great Lakes Illlinois next week for our son's PIR? I am ready and can't wait to get up there from here in Edmond, Ok and will be leaving next Thursday morning and going to drive up there and stay at the Marriott Courtyard in Waukegan. How many times have you spoke with your recruits since they have been in boot camp and have they told you that they are set to graduate? Thanks, Eric

Jim have you heard from your son lately and if so how many times has he called since boot camp started? Since your son and my son Blake are on the same ship and division I was wondering how many times he has been able to call you. I am staying at the Marriott Couryard in Waukegan, IL for PIR. Thanks, Eric

Eric,
In one of Jon's letters, he mentioned that they will probably get to call home in the 5th week. That is, of course, if they don't mess up somehow. The RDC's use the phone calls as an incentive. Anyway, we have already booked our airfare and hotel for the PIR. We are staying at the Ramada Waukegan. They host a "Meet and Greet" for Navy parents the night before graduation. Perhaps, we'll see you there.
Joie glad to hear that your son William is doing good and ready to graduate. My son Blake is on the same ship 12 and division 159 and he is getting ready for his PIR on May 6th also. Have you heard what time the PIR is on that Friday the 6th and is your son a grad and go or does he get some time off after boot camp?
I recieved several letters from my son William. He's doing real good, passed both of his fitness test and cant wait to graduate. Congrats to all the Navy Dads sons for their Navy success!

Eric, did you get the "I'm a Sailor" call yet from Blake? We did from our son Jon. We're so proud! Hopefully, we'll see you at PIR!
