My SR didn't want me involved with his DEP program (7 months) either. I finally had the opportunity to met the PO that he was working with in the recruiting office, the day he was leaving for GL. MEPS was offered to me the evening before he was flying out. I dropped my SR off at the recruiters office and the PO (Petty Officer) took my SR to the hotel. Your SR flew out of Miami?
I too, was in the dark, other than here. And for that, I am truly grateful and blessed to find very informative Navy moms that have gone through what I am now experiencing.

No letter from my SR today. Feeling a little emotional. Happy for everyone that did. Going to log out for a little.

Oh boy, Q'sMom. That's a tough one. I think you need to add a dog to the trip and make it even more exciting!

Too funny, CatMom. I was a very involved mom, but my 23 yr old son did NOT want me involved with his DEP program (10 mos long) nor did he allow me to meet his recruiter the day the recruiter came to Miami to meet up with the SRs before departure. He enlisted in another city about 90 miles north of us and it was going to be my only chance to meet the recruiter. He said No, he is a grown guy and doesn't need that. He wouldn't let me to go MEPS either---just allowed my parents and me to drop him off at the hotel the night before he left....so I was in the dark on anything Navy other than what I could find out here! Maybe it is the difference in having an older son going in compared to one right out of high school or maybe just the difference between having a daughter or son joining? I don't know. He actually had one of the good recruiters who didn't lie to him, so I really had wanted to meet him!

I too am so thankful for this site! I haven't posted much lately, but I do read everyday!
Happy to report that I also received letters from my SR (6 of them!!) the day before yesterday... and yes, it was so bittersweet hearing him talk about his days there. I can tell that he is so homesick! I hope that it continues to get better for him in there.
I wish that I could drive to PIR like so many of you are doing! But with living in Oregon, and having 7 other kids (and my husband and I are both working full time and can't afford to take too much time off :( ), we are forced to fly! Boooo!

FIBroomie,
I just caught you have 7 kids!! Blessings to you!!! At least you have a full plate, but I know what happens when we have those quiet moments... Hope you hear from him real soon!!

Great idea on writing your SRs to share about www.NavyforMoms.com with them and have them pass this site onto their fellow SRs, so more Moms could be joining our cozy Navy families "in the know!"

FlBroomie,
We were the only family to go to the DEP meetings in support of my Sailor daughter--we went to all 3 from when she signed up. I was on NavyforMoms all the time and already knew alot--in fact, one of the other recruiters told me that I should back off finding out everything from NavyforMoms!!
My Sailor daughter's own recruiter was super!! Always availabe, answering all our questions, helped us get through MEPS quicker so we could be at the hotel with her~~

Happy Friday!!

Kimberly68 I have two older sons still living at home. I make handmade greeting cards and my mind is not letting me make "happy" cards. I started working on my Christmas ornaments and our Halloween display but my heart is just not into any of it
