Ship 11 Division 334 is in my thoughts...
Latest Activity
i'm not sure chandra about the wait but 2.5 weeks seems excessive. they may close it for a week and that's why they don't have PIR's every week but two weeks seems excessive as they ususally don't go two weeks without a PIR. good luck to your guy,...
I heard a rumor from someone that Battlestations will be shut down for 2.5 weeks for cleaning, and that while that is going on, the recruits will be stuck there until the cleaning is done. Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not, because I'...
I got 2 letters today from Tim. He's in Ship 6 Division 2347, were he'll workon passing his PFA and do BS. Hopefully this week he'll pass it all and his mom and I will be getting a phone call! I'm just glad I got letters from him. It seems like th...
Hello, I'm alive, just floating around listening to you guys. ^^ I have been sick on the 25th (that seems alittle too coincidental...) and haven't been on the computer. But yesterday I felt better, so I was able to have homemade pizza for dinner (...
Beky, hell week is most likely gas chamber, fire fighting and the last PFA test they all have to take, then right after it is Battle Stations. But don't take my word for it, I'm just making an asumption.

334 does BS tonight. They started at 8pm.
Like Lauren said, Tim called me and told me that he didn't pass his PFA...it sucks, I was sleeping and when he called I was excited, but when he said "Babe, I didn't pass" I was in shock... He said he lost weight, he's 170-something and that he wo...
Profile Information
- About me:
- I'm 18 years old and a college student at Glendale Community College North in Arizona. My boyfriend who is in the navy, is going to boot camp August 3, 2009.
He's already left and I've been doing my best to stay strong and supportive for him. But before I know it, I'll see him again and be in his arms, like he never left for boot camp.
- I am here to support or represent my:
- Spouse/Significant other
- 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:
- To hold on to the moments you have with the one you love, because they'll become rarer to have once he/she's gone. Don't try to count the days-they just make everything slower, so keep busy and stay possitive and support your loved one.
Also, send letters. Lots of letters. Tell them how you are and cheer them on if they look like they're about to give up. Encourage them to do their best!
- Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
- It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Battlestation rumor
I heard a rumor from someone that Battlestations will be shut down for 2.5 weeks for cleaning, and that while that is going on, the recruits will be stuck there until the cleaning is done. Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not, because I'm wondering if this a tactic to scare the recruits into working harder and passing their tests. I'm worried that my recruit will be stuck there while they're cleaning the ship, if the rumor is true. My recurit has been in Ship 06 Division 2347 for awhil… Continue

Surprise Letter!
I got a letter today. I waited for the mail man (I really am stalking the mail man lol) to come and he came with a package and a letter to me! I was surprised because usually I get mail from him on Wednesday. I was really happy about the letter, but I feel alittle bad because his mom didn't get one. I could tell she looked dissappionted, but I hope she'll get one from him on Wednesday. In his letter he said that his Division was cleaning for a really important person. He was a Admiral or somethi… Continue

3 letters- I am in heaven!
I got 3 letters on thursday this week. I've been busy wrting him back and its been an emotional trip for me. I didn't think it would be possible to cry just from reading letters, but I guess it is. I've cried alot since I've gotten his letters, the tears I cry are happy ones, but most of them were sad or relieved.He manages to say exactly what I need to hear even when I can't see him.
He said in one of his letters that he has Bronchitis, and he told me not to worry. Thats impossible! I can't st… Continue

2 letters in one day!
Yay! I knew today was letter day, but I didn't think I'd get 2 letters! I'm so happy right now, when I came inside with the mail and my stuff, I screamed and jumped around like a crazy person! I already opened one and I cried when I read what was written by him. The other letter I can't open yet, because it has a "Don't open till 06 Sept. 09" were the seal is. That would be the day of our aniversery...I'm alittle frustrated, but I'm excited at the same time!
The letter I could open was only one… Continue

Unexpected!!!
I just got a letter from Tim! It was 3 pages long! I'm so happy! His group earned 30 minuts to write a letter, and he got to write to his mom, but it was only to fill out a survy she sent and a sentence explaining that he was sorry he couldn't write because he was given 20 minutes (I think maybe he spent most of his time writing to me!!) I felt so bad that I got more than she did, but she said that was ok, she got something from him. Plus I shared some of my letter with him. I can't stop gigglin… Continue

- Chandra,
Tell your bf that he is in good company. My son missed his first Officer Candidate School RLF by one frigging point - those damn threads on the inside seam of his pants (near his shoes). Many were rolled back. When he rolled back, he had to go through all that stuff for another month. He was pissed. I personally thought he would be rolled back continuously for the rest of his life. Luckily, some of the prior enlisted guys who were having problems with math offered to iron his shirts and pants, shine his shoes, get rid of those threads in exchange for tutoring in math. Great team work. It worked out. They all passed the next go around.
I have been busy with work and stuff. Met 8 other Navy parents last week. It was great to put a face with a name. I am cleaning up, polishing the silver, making everything spic and span ready for the next meet and greet - at MY house! I must be nuts.
xxoo Auntie B.

5. You love watching cute love movies because it reminds you of all the cute things he does when he's home.

7. The mailman knows you because you are always out waiting for him to come.
8. You start paying close attention in class when the word "military" is mentioned.
9. You suddenly have an obsession with anything military related.
10. You see someone wearing an army, navy, or usmc shirt and you get this overwhelming urge to talk to them.
11. You make friends with strangers online just because they are in the same situation as you and are the only ones that can truly understand what you are going through.
12. You can't decide what to wear when you meet him at the airport because his flight comes in at a ridiculous hour in the morning and you want to look cute, but not too cute, because your cutest outfit you want to save for your first full day together.
13. Your first Christmas together is.... apart.
14. You find yourself checking your e-mail every fifteen minutes.
15. You know all the time differences between where you are and Iraq, Ireland, Kuwait, Italy, Germany, Korea, and every state in the U.S
.
16. The highlight of your day is getting a letter that was mailed a month ago.
17. And if you don't get a letter, the highlight of your day is writing him a letter that you know he will be able to read in a month.
18. You realize that HOMECOMING is so much more than a football game.
19. You want to hit any happy couple you see!

21. You've exhausted every idea a brain could have of what to put in a box.

23. When the clock says 11:11, you find yourself wishing for the same thing every time: a call from your Soldier.
24. You get excited when it's only 9 months until you see your Soldier instead of 12!
25. You can't stand girls that talk about missing their boyfriends who live a few hours away. You just want to yell "drive and go see them" because if you had the chance, you would jump on the first plane to go see your Soldier no matter how far it is.
26. You don't know what teams are on top for football, basketball, etc.
27. You wouldn't dream of walking out of the house without the cell phone and every number you have is forwarded to that cell.
28. You find yourself randomly crying from just looking at a picture of the two of you together.
29. You find yourself randomly crying and you sometimes have no idea why.
30. You stay on the internet for hours searching for anything and everything about the military.
