Hi Kitty, I don't think are guys are eligible for the "Foster parent" program. We were actually thinking of driving up and adopting him but were told only the recruits that had been there 6 weeks were eligible. We will probably drive up for grad...

My son got there on the 18th. His recruiter gave me his address as Ship 6 Divi 909. I have not seen a graduation dated posted for his group yet. I got my son's box on Monday but have not gotten anything else from him.

Got my box, today. We weren't sure what to expect but as we took out each dirty item, we had a good picture of how it must have been - each SR standing in line with his/her box in hand, divesting themselves of the last vestiges of their civilian l...

Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Philip began talking about a military career during his sophmore year of high school. After talking with the military recruiters at his high school he chose the Navy. When his recruiter came to talk with us we found him to be very upfront and honest with us about life in the Navy.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
