Recruit Man - Ronny's Comments

Thank you so much for the information. My daughter arrived at Great Lakes boot camp 6-12-12. We received her phone call when she arrived there & received her box of stuff back. Really want to hear from her again and and have her address so we can write to her and try to keep her sprits up and our's too!

Thank you for your post.  I have been on this site multiple times since our daughter decided to enlist.  She was sworn in on May 29th and is assigned to ship 02 div 937. We have received our kid in the box, the "I got here call" and her form letter.  I am waiting anxiously for a phone call, mainly just to hear her voice.  

Happy you for the welcome .my daughter gets out of the Navy in September. She just got engaged to a fellow sailor. she is in Greece and Jonathan is in Barain. I wish I had known about those free calling cards. I am so proud of her,she is working on her degree. Her Dad retired from The Marine Corp. Don't under estimate these young men and women,my Savannah had never made a bed,washed a dish,etc and she came th ru  bootcamp with flying colors.when I read your post ,she don't seem so far away.

Thank you, my son just graduated 06/15, Ship 12 DIV 186. He is now in Mississippi for "A" school then on to Submarnier school. Glad I found this site and thanks for the wram welcome.

how do I get the free phone cards - I cant figure it out

I have gone to the free phone card page but I cant figure out how to get them

Thank you so much for all the info I have watched the video's and trying to take in everything I can.  My son left for bootcamp on JUNE 6, 2012 so i've only had the "I got her safe" phone call. I know he is ship 13 div 236 if there is anyone else who has a recruit there.

So happy that we are going to graduation this week. Congrats to all those going through this ceremony!

Thank you so very much . I am so thankful for you guys .

how long do i have to wait till i get a mailing address once my son leaves. He leaves tomorrow.

Thank you so much for the information. I will definately check out the Survival Guide and the phone cards.

Thank you for the welcome to a new Navy mom! My son was just sworn in TODAY! He picked a job, but will take the nuke test on Monday, and evidently everything changes if he passes that.

 Hi, I'm still new at this my sr  graduation date is July 13th.so we are getting closer he sent me a letter and is doing good. I  was concerned about next week is hell week any information would be helpful. I write him letters almost every day to help get him through and it helps me as well.

does he have to have the calling card or can he just use his cell phone for the first call? I guess they will need it if they get to make calls later, right?

Thanks. we will remember that. He leaves for basic next week.
