It has been a while since I have stopped in. It sounds as though everyone is doing well! I know we are getting closer and closer which brings tears to my eyes because I am just ready to wrap my arms around my fiance neck and never let go :) Of course we all know that can't happen, but for as long as I can I will hold on. I wish everyone such a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year! I feel like we will be getting the best start to a New Year by preparing ourselves to see our Sailors graduate! Heads up everyone it will be here before we know it! I also hope everyone gets to hear from their sailor today I know I have been praying for weeks we can all recieve a phone call on such a blessed day!!

My sons name is Evan and we are from Sand Springs, OK. He also graduates 1-18-13. I just read that if they didn't order their pictures on week 5 we will not be able to get any. I hope he did but he hasn't mentioned it in any letters. Has anyone heard anything about pictures?

proud mom - I'm wondering about pictures and the DVD as well. I think we can buy them at NEX but I read it's chaos after PIR. I wrote my son to order both if he could, but I never heard back. I'll let you know if I get any info.
Wah 22 - My son wrote that he met Ryan - he's actually on the rack next to him. He says he only knows him as
--------(last name), but that he's a cool guy and they're going to try to study and workout together in San Antonio. So YAY for making a friend for A school! -

For those of you with sailors heading to a-school in pensacola my husband was told he will be held in GL for some time because of a storm building up.. Just wanted to give you a heads up incase you didn't hear the same.

Hello Olivia, I am new to this site but what does GL stand for? My brother will be going to fl for A school and I was wondering if this may apply to him...he graduates 1/18/13.

GL stands for Great Lakes. Where they are for bootcamp. That is when my husband graduates so I am sure it would apply to your brother as well.

Thank you we talked about this might be a possability & he was hoping that this wouldnt happen. He didnt want to wait at GL any longer than he had too!

Your welcome. And I don't think mine wants to stay there any longer than he has to either but luckily we only live 4 hour from GL so hopefully if he is there I would be able to go see him.
