Hi Calvin,
After a waiver delay my son finally arrived at Great Lakes on May 13.
The last couple of weeks were hard on him as we was ready to go. I had no inkling what my emotions would be like. I guess a bit in denial and then the reality that he has moved out for good. Tough to take. We've spent a lot of time together since he graduated from University.
He is really looking forward to Coronado.
Thanks for you thoughts.

Hey! Thanks so much for adding me. My fiancee is in the Navy and he's currently in boot camp! It's been sort of rough because one second he's there all day, everyday and now he's just gone without any way of contacting him.
He's in Ship 11 Division 395 and I got my first call from him last Saturday which was SO exciting. Over the phone he told me that the following Sunday, they would be able to finally send out their letters, so I've been waiting all week to get it!
His graduation is on October 18th and I'm so proud of him! He told me that a lot of his ship mates were dropping out left and right because of panic attacks and stuff. The Navy sounds like it's a good place and like they take care of them though. I know it's just hard being away from families and what not!
I actually am going to be leaving for boot camp myself in January, so I'm excited about that too!
I'm also so glad that your grandson is doing well in the Navy! I'll keep him in my prayers. c:
I have definitely found this helpful! Thank you for all that you all do!
Calvin, thank you for the "welcome" to NavyDads. Really glad to be a part. My son just deployed last night, so membership here is going to help a lot.
Calvin,
I appreciate the warm welcome. I'm extremely proud of my daughter and can't wait to see her at graduation. She is scheduled to graduate on 27 September and I'm counting the days. After 24+ years of service I retired from the USAF last summer, so I understand military service very well; however, the Navy is distinctly different service and I'm unable to offer my daughter any sound career advice.
I've learned quite a bit from the website already.

Thanks for the info. Schedule PIR is 9/27 (SR Killough, Caleb, Ship 09 DIV 370). So far only 2 calls home from Caleb to his Dad. The first one at 2:am local time (the safety arrival) missed that one. But last week they connected for a few minutes. Caleb was #1 in his first physical assessment. So happy for him.
Thanks for the warm welcome.My father-in-law was in the Navy in WWII aboard the USS Wadsworth in the Pacific,he said it was the best job he ever had.Then two son and now a grandson. I can't wait to get back to Great Lakes to see him graduate.what I have seen of this site so far is great,so much more info than I had when my sons went in.Thanks to all who but this together . God Bless you Mike
Thank you for the welcome, and for the information.
