Top Ten Lines Home From Boot Camp...

[K]

I just got a letter from my son today and there is this one line that makes me chuckle over and over again...I thought it might be fun to share these if anyone else has any. I considered putting it in context for ya'll but thought it wouldn't be as funny. So, in David Letterman style, I will start with my so far funniest line home from my son was:

"I guess not everybody appreciates ninjas."

[Navy Mom]

I highly recommend you wash your hands after reading this letter because I now have pink eye in both my eyes. Highly recommend that's a new one for me.

Yes, it would be lovely for you to bring me cookies with hersey kisses in the middle. Lovely!!

Who is writing this letter? It's not my son.

[K]

Lovely? rotflmao! Love it!!!!

[Rhonda]

OMG that one just killed me...lovely? Who is writing that letter?

[Angel]

The first thing my son said was:
"Thanks for all the years you made me clean my room, it finally paid off"

[Maureen]

Here are Josh's:

"We get 8 minutes to shave and brush our teeth. That's 83 people to 20 sinks so it can get pretty crowded."
"..so, basically I've lost my fear of public restrooms..."
"...getting 83 guys to do 20 4- count jumping jacks and finishing together is a lot tougher than it sounds. Then they send us to bed..."
"We also iron our skivies and white t-shirts,too." I have NEVER done that! lol (maybe the white t-shirts! : ])
"I miss you guys and I miss just talking with you and getting hugs from you! I think that is the one thing I miss the most...Hugs..." : )

[Connie in Alaska]

Awww Maureen...He's so darn cute. I giggled about losing the fear of public restrooms and the jumping jacks. I asked Kelly if she has to iron her bras too...lol...she said naaaaaah they are ugly sports bras. She's missing all her victoria's secret stuff. LOL

It just seems wrong to have this great thread on page four. Bumping this for the new boot camp mammas.

[Rebecca]

my fav :Get yer @#!$%^ knees off the deck, this ain't the @#$%^& Air Force"

[MJ__JM's Mom]

Hahahahaha! That was a good one!

[Dana from Tulsa (TJ's Mom)]

I just received the first 'form' letter that only has 2 lines for 'recruit's comments'... I guess TJ was in a big hurry because here is what he wrote (unedited):

I LOVE GUYS, AND TELL SAM I LOVE HER. THANKS FOR ALWAYS HAVING MY BACK. PLEASE WRIGH WRITE ME. I LOVE YOU AND WILL SEE YOU SOON, T.J.

When his dad read it he said "I can't wait to tease him about loving guys!! (Sam is actually Samantha, his girlfriend).

[nancy]

My son started his letter off this week with:

Writing this while waiting on the iron. ( I just would like to see that, all those young men waiting for an iron)

and in the same letter

They are pretty picky but it is their job. ( He was talking about an inspection they had that took almost three hours)

[Arlene Fitzgerald]

My son Paul said the same thing about the ironing in almost every letter he wrote. He also said the food isn't too b ad but he misses his moms cooking and also said he realizes how much he took for granted when he was living at home. Made me feel really appreciated! Div 067
