HI Palgal: Are you planning to attend the meet and greet Thursday night before the graduation? If so be sure to RSVP. I will be coming with my husband, daughter and mother. I looki forward to meeting everyone. How old is your son? My son has made friends, their first initials are A, K and S. He makes friends really easy so he may have made more by now. Where do you live? We are only 1 hour away from Great Lakes (west of the GL).

Hi Christine: Oh not a problem. I have been reading up on the battlestation. I should receive a letter from my son tomorrow so hopefully he will give me some more info. No I did not hear about the heat going out...wow. We are about 1 hour away and I do remember we had some pretty strong storms with lightening and then we would have snow flurries...real wierd.
I did hear from someone who's husband in in the same div that they get to write three times a week, not just on Sundays. Might be due to good behavior. I am now more excited for the letter from him. That is great you found a card to send. I need to find a navy blue scarf...once I feel good enough I need to do some shopping. -

Hi Lamarmama:
I received a letter from my son today so excited. He is still very upbeat. He passed all inspections with 100% and did over and beyond on the personal physical assessment test. He said RDC was very proud of him. The letter was not really long but very upbeat.
When you get a letter from your son, let me know how he is doing.

Good Morning: That is great news! Our guys just continue to make us so proud. I was nervous about the confidence chamber and now it is overwith. Did you get a call from your son? I did get a call yesterday, was not expecting that but we had a nice long talk. Thats great they are rewarded with phone calls for doing good work. I can't believe less than 2 weeks. So my son said Battlestation is Thursday and we should expect a call mid afternoon Friday. Should be the "Sailor" call. YES! I will be able to breathe once I get that call. OHh not sure if you know but some ladies as well as myself have had problems trying to find a navy blue scarf, so we are finding navy blue bandanna that we are tying on our purse so just a suggestion to you if you have the same problem of finding a scarf.
