Div 803 PIR date 21 Dec Leave after grad.

After earlier letter stating he will be getting leave after graduation, I received another letter today casting some doubt on leave. Hope not, already purchased round trip airfare for him to come home. To soon to panic yet. Graduation still 4 weeks away. On positive note he said he made section leader due to excellent inspection reports. He sounds very positive and dedicated.

PIR 11-9-12- Awesome

I guess I am not stating anything new for the Senior Navy Dads but PIR last Friday was simply an inspirational experience. When my son's division paraded into the hall past us I did not even recognize him as he walked 20 yds in front of me. What a change 8 weeks of bootcamp can make in a young man. My wife and other sons were saying "there he is" while I am saying "where? where?". I finally saw him and was struck by the thought that I did not recognize my own son. Crazy! We are very proud of…

Sorry for delay in getting to this, but my sailor's only internet after we returned was his phone & not good typing on it.

 

Awake at 4:15 am to get packed up breakfast & try to catch the 1st shuttle out. 5:15 am the 1st shuttle filled up fast missed it, but got the second one about 5 minutes later.  The people organizing this did an excellent job.  For future Tigers, have you sailor get you the list of hotels on their list to be able to take advantage of the free…

Newby

I just found this site, and I am so glad I can get answers from a trusted source for all my questions. My son's joining of the Navy is not just a journey for himself, but for us, his parents also. We hold our breath when he is facing a new challenge to his endeavors and rejoice with him when he reaches his goal. May God bless him and his fellow recruits as they overcome all odds and obstacles in their training.

Big E Tiger Cruise Day 1

Well really this is day 2 since I left Marshall last night to spend the night in the airport for a 515 am flight to Jacksonville. Really excited to go see my son, but have been upset that I could not get Laura and the girls up to Norfolk. To see. Us come in for the Big E's last time. It has been 11 months and 14 days since I have seen Heath. I am starting to miss him. Getting up there a day early, l hope I get to spend area hours with him this afternoon. About to board the plane.
