Hello and a big thank you for this great site and all of the great Navy people . Everyone has been great and very helpful. My Son SR Tyler is starting his seventh week at GL. Scuttlebutt has the Gas Chamber on Wednesday(22 April09) and then "Battle Stations". Change CAPS and then on to PIR (1 May09). Almost time for a HOOYAH !! Eleven Days and a Wake up. Ten Days and a Wake up for Mom and Dad to go to GL. Thanks for all the great help along the way for us. Then it will be time for us to join some new Groups for more help. Tyler goes on to "A" School at Corry Station (Pensacola, Fla.) (CTT), so we will have the honor of joining "A" School Group and Cryptology Groups. HOOYAH for all of our new SAILORS and the parents that support them. Anyone else going to PIR on 1 May you will be able to recognize us because we will be the parents with the biggest smiles in the Hall. Thanks and this is not goodby just moving ahead GO NAVY !!

John, I strongly reccomend HONOR, COURAGE and COMMITMENT. We all read it while he was in DEP and again after he left. We now use it to keep up with where he is in his training. Although it is a little outdated now it is well worth the time and money.

Our son Jeff just completed his 4th week in boot camp. We received a letter from him with a form letter indicating graduation is 15 May 2009. My wife and me are excited for the trip to RTC and seeing him. Jeff is in Div 195, his ship is USS Enterprise - anyone else have a son or daughter in that group?

John, Ditto to what everyone else said. You will find this site very helpful. Within the first week of my daughter's enlistment at boot camp I think I read every thread on this site. If I had a question usually I got an answer very quickly.

You should get a copy of HONOR, COURAGE and COMMITMENT as Steve mentioned. It follows a division through bootcamp and shows the experience from the RDC and SR side.

john, be prepared for and emotional moment the day the box comes. It's a moment you will not forget probably for the rest of your life. For the next few weeks you'll probably get the feeling that this isn' t fair, but believe me they keep the recruits busy just about every waking moment, but after you get a few calls it won't be so bad. Then before you know you'll be getting ready to go to pir, and you'll really be amazed. Hang in there, keep visitng the site and it we'll be all over. I too recommend Honor, Courage, Commitment as a must read. You won't want to put it down

John,check out the book Honor,Courage,Commitment by J.F.Leahy.It pretty much tells what the recruits are going thru from p week thru to graduation. I found it to be a very informative read. Good luck and send your sailor my best.

John J, YOU should be receiving THE BOX belonings your sailor took to GL. Then you will rec. a form letter telling you the RULES with 2 lines from Mike. This will or should be within days. After that it's all sit and wait. They will be busy and only be able to write or call on Sun. if the division is doing well. In a day or two check to the right of this posting and click PIR this will tell you when Mike is due to graduate from BC.
