I miss my son its only been a week since he left for boot camp and the hardest part for me as a mom is not being able to speak to him everyday.I am so proud of him i know hes in good hands but i still worry 

New to this site. I am 33 years old single mom of 6 kids and my 17 year old was just sworn in this past Monday. I have been going nuts since then, not really but just every thought imaginable is going through my head. 

I probably have the busiest summer ahead of me and was hoping I could get some ideas on a party to throw for my son? He is graduating from high school in June, his bday is June, and as of right now is set to leave for boot camp Sept. 16th. But this may change…

Our son is graduating sometime in November (he leaves for boot on 9-9) and I just want to have an idea of a good, decent, inexpensive hotel near the base. Any ideas?

My daughter has been in Behrain since the end of Nov. Last week when she woke up, she had a bunch of red bumps on her face.  These bumps have now turned into painful deep looking scabs. She has not scratched or picked her face.  She is now in Italy for two weeks.  She has been to the doctor there on base twice but the doctor doesn't know what it is.  Has anyone heard of this kind of thing?  Could this be an insect bite?  Sandflies?  Any information would be great.  Thank you. Extremely…

Feeling very lost without my son. My son left yesterday for boot camp.  Is there a page to find out the routine for boot camp? Just so I have an idea what my son is doing. Feeling disconnected not know how to move around this site.

sometimes you just gotta take time for YOU!!!

Got our first phone call today! I was happy, sad, emotional and excited all rolled up into one.  Brett is good just sounds really tired. Yeah! Ship 13 Div 133

Hoping I get a call tomorrow from my SR, he's Div 131 Ship 11. Once the letters start coming I will feel so much better! I'm missing my son so much and would love to get a call, letter! Come on son, CALL YOUR MOMMA!!!

It was so funny, in a way. I got the box yesterday (a week after he left), and then the letter arrived the next day.  That just goes to show that when they say it varies on how long it takes to receive things, they mean it. I thought we'd get the box in a couple of days, but in the end they arrived within a day of each other.

My son is in ship 09, div 140, so if you have a SR in that group, let me know.  I signed up for my PIR date group, and I made hotels reservations about…

This is what the frame looks like

Hello Moms of PIR 2/28/14...Div 092, and other Divisions,

This is a FYI, I am not sure if most of you know that the (Facebook) page of the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command has a wonderful page of tons of Division pictures of our kids in boot camp.How they post these is they throw out Trivia Tuesday questions,and the first one to guess it wins a published picture of a desired Division.I was fortunate to get a glimpse of my son,He is in Ship 14 Div. 092, so any Moms of this Div. Go…

It has been six days and I miss my son so very much.  I agree with most when saying I am so proud of him but so sad to see him leave.  He as a kid was very active in sports therefore we spend hours together.  He even allow me to be involved during his high school year...taking pictures of all the guys and helping with feeding the football team every Friday afternoon.  He has never been away from me for more than 10 days so this is very hard for me.  If I hadn't liked him so much or been so…
