Catie,Aaron DEP'd back in March and started bootcamp in Aug.He had also heard that the bonus would be discontinued because of the navy being able to fill their quotas for enlistments a lot sooner for the fiscal year.

- He's halfway through prototype. We live in Troy. Our recruiter is in Collinsville office. (notice I call him "our recruiter?" He gave me a big hug today when I took in Halloween treats.)
Can't believe that in December I will have lived in Illinois half my life. How time passes when you are married to a great man!

- It's neat that you know where I live! I was just in Glen Carbon last night. Also, even though our sailor currently does not have a military address (he lives off base) I was pleasantly surprised when UPS gave me a discount with a pix of my son in uniform.
Be sure you use the Post Office flat rate boxes if it fits. I shipped 4 boxes this week at their discounted $11.95 a box price.

- How soon they get their packages depends upon how easily they can get to the mail room. He should have more time during indoc. We sent those electronics by UPS, which gives a military discount, and he had them within a week. Some later packages did not get picked up for quite a while since he had such long study hours. Hope that helps!

I've been trying to upload a couple of photos from the latest PIR and can't seem to get it right.
It was suggested that I contact you.

Laurie- Brandon's mom said… - Hi- just got a call from Brandon guess their divsion is getting a special flag at the graduation for Academics. YEAH. He said their division has the highest scores there. He sounded so good. It was nice to hear his voice. Haven't talked to him since the day he got in. Got my first LONG letter from him last week. I think I've read about 10 times. Just so I can see his writing and try to imagine where he is what he's doing.
I thought I would give you an update.
Hope all is well. Laurie

- We will be staying in Waukegan. Your son might be grad-n-go, although I know the prototype is having trouble and has backed up everyone else. Anyhow, let's stay in touch about rates and, you know, stuff (ha! ha!). I taught today, so my brain is a bit mushy now.
