Hi Toni,
What a great picture of you and Cameron! Congratulations to both of you! I was able to go to the PIR and spend time with my son but my camera jammed before the ceremony and I did not get any pictures in the short time I was with him. Hope...
This site is for ETs & FTs & STS who are in the submarine field. My son is an ET/COM
hi
My Son is currently in Groton, Ct. for Submarine School then "A" School.
Graduation was awesome! I am soooo proud of our sailors, they all did such a wonderful job and looked great! Brian was selected as Honor Grad for Division 320, I was so happy for him! The only downer was my camera jammed just as the ceremony start...
Hi Margaret,
I am back home. Graduation was awesome and I hope you can go! I cannot describe the range of emotions I experienced in the course of the morning. For sure you feel so proud of them and amazed at how well they seem to fit into the "Nav...
I was not able to type the address in directly. I typed netc.navy in the Google search box and the link came up, then I was able to get on. Hope this helps.

Laurie,
Look at the form letter you received from the Navy with your son's mailing address. The password is on the back side I believe, that is where I found mine. Carolyn
If all goes according to plan, he goes to Groton, CT for Subschool (seven weeks) and then A school (four weeks)! If you go out to netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl ( I have to type in Search box and click on link) There is a list of upcoming graduation dat...
Hi Margaret,
My son graduates Sept. 11th and I remember being where you are when Brian left on July 21st. You won't be able to hear from her for the first three weeks but she will be fine. My son said the first two weeks are the hardest and then e...
Julie,
My son said they are doing BS on Thursday but maybe they are starting Wednesday night and finishing Thursday morning.
Thank you Angie, That makes sense! Talk about cutting it close! I will be flying into Chicago the morning of the 10th so I hope he calls me with the Sailor call after I land!
I wonder if more than one division goes through Battlestations at the same time.
I missed my son's call this Sunday but in his message he said Battle Stations for Div 320 is just before Graduation.
Hi Julie,
It looks like we will be flying back on the same flight! I too did not want to pay extra for a later flight. I still don't know where Brian is going. I missed his call Sunday and he won't be able to call again until after Battlestations,...
I missed Brian's call but he left a message on my cell phone and he said they won't be going to do their "Battlestations" until the day before Graduation and he doesn't expect to be able to call me before then. Bummmer........

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have a feeling you will get your letters tommorrow. I forgot where you live, but I think I am closer to Great Lakes.
I was happy that Jason sounded like himself in the letter. It sounded like he had privacy, which made his writng seem authentic. I read the letters to a few close people, and we all were encouraged. Jason's father is deceased, and so I don't have him to share it with. I think other parents have an understanding that friends cannot quite comprehend. Let me know how you make out tommorrow,
Sincerely,
joyce

My daughter, Ashley (20), has been in the Navy for 2 years and is an IT3 & my future son-in-law Tim has been in since Feb 2008 stationed on the USS Nimitz. What will your son be doing with the Navy? If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad you joined and look forward to hearing more about you & your recruit. Pat

Guide for Recruit's Family regarding Boot Camp
My son left for Boot Camp on July 21st. After receiving his phone call at 11:00pm and hearing yelling in the background I couldn't sleep so I surfed the net for information on what to expect in Boot Camp. Thank goodness I found this website and all of your wonderful Moms who shared their information with newbys like me! Even though I still have a knot in my stomach I can sleep now and feel better about him being there. I have started writing letters to mail once I get his address.
