Joni- Is Nick in Pensacola? I am sorry to hear that you are really missing him. I am having one of my "good days". But I know what those sad ones are like. Sometimes I feel so helpless because I cannot just go in ' and fix everything' I just keep telling myself, that this is good for him. I hope it teaches him some patience. He has already gotten himself into trouble with spending more money than he has. I have tried to explain to him, that he needs to learn to budget..... I can already see him rolling his eyes! Anyway hang in there, and lets keep in touch! Diane

Hi Joni, Are you getting excited to see Nick for Christmas? I'vew decided that I'm not going to get Chris that day but wait until PIR. The Navy will keep him busy most of the day and if he does grad on time, he will be going to Va. for school and I can go see him every few weeks then. Where is Nick going to school? What has he decided to train for? Hope to hear from you soon. Mary 059

Hi,
Does anyone know anything about visiting on Christmas Day? I got my first call home last night. He has been gone since Nov. 14. He only had 10 mins. or so to talk and he said if we could drive up on Christmas day that he could leave with us for the day. He said if we didn't he would being going somewhere with a group of others with some lady. I didn't want to drive up Christmas Eve and find out he misunderstood. Does anyone know about this? He is in Division 059.
Thanks, Joni

Welcome aboard Joni,
Check to see if the messages that you have notices on are actually on the Boot Camp Mom's group page rather than individual messages to you.
They could also be on "he just left today" rather than on your personal page, although I am confused how you ended up with a message to someone else, typed by you...back on your own page...see below.

Thanks for your quick reply. You said to ask if I have any questions. Well, I have tried several times now to read my answers from other and can't get anything to come up.
My e-mail address tells me that I have 15 messages from other navy moms and to click on an address to view, but when I do that, there is nothing showing up. I can't figure out how to read my e-mails. Yours showed up on my page, but no ones elses is. Can you tell me anything to help out?
