Finally got to talk to my daughter  yesterday!!! She sounded so sad but I know that first phone call home has to be hard. She said that a friend of hers mom wrote and said she had talked to me on here so I'm looking for that lady! I can't remember what she said her last name was so if anyone could help please let me know I would love to talk to you!!

My son called his wife who was at my house yesterday-they got to talk for 15 minutes.

She put him on speaker phone so I got to say hello and that I love you.  He sounded good.

Barbara77, it may have been me your daughter was talking about! I write my daughter telling about this wonderful site, but most recently, my daughter called on saturday and we were talking about it. She wanted me to find out a name so she would know who im talking to. She thought it was the coolest thing.
My daughter said the worst part of that place is having to live with 99 other females. She said there is a lot of drama. She's also not fond of having to fold everything in a specific way and stowing it in a specific place. Lol. She is also getting sores on her ankles from marching so much.
She told me that only 20 out of 100 girls passed the first PFA. Thankfully she was one of them, though she was worried about how she did on her written test.
She said she doesnt feel like boot camp has changed her as a person but she does feel a lot less insecure already. After 4 weeks of no make-up, she is starting to like the way she looks!! :-D

Halfway there...hooyah!

so exciting

If you are the parent of SR Ahnert you should be very proud! That young man helped my daughter run through the pain of shin splints and wouldn't let her give up and she passed!!! He even went and got her ice after. Such a sweet young man and you should be very proud!

I have only received one call since my daughter has been at BC. Is this the same with everyone or have you received more?
Yes, she is in 03/358 Wen! I have received letters though. My daughter said that she wrote quite a few letters but lost them so had to rewrite. Im not sure what she meant by lost? Anyways, they can only send out letters on sundays so I really hoping you will see one in the mailbox today!!! Let us know!

I haven't gotten letters either and only one phone call...three weeks to go!

Here's hoping for calls this weekend!!!

My daughter finay called today!! 03/358!! She sounded good, and was super excited when i told her she would have four guests at PIR.
