Everyone visit this Facebook page on Tuesdays:
https://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand
They do a Trivia Tuesday every week and the first person to answer the Navy History question correctly can request a photo of their Division! It's usually just a photo of them in a classroom working hard, but still, how great is that?! :) Spread the word so we can see our loved ones in Divisions 202 and/or 201 ! :) :)
Wishing you all the best,
Cassidy

Yippee! 8 pg. letter from my SR!! I was bawling before I even ripped it open!! He was much more detailed this time. He said he gives his RDC's the utmost respect because they get up before them and go to bed after them and they don't see much of their families. He said he's learned to never take the little things for granted! He ended it by saying Happy Mother's Day!! He is doing great! I am one proud Mama!!!!!!

I am getting so nervous. Ive recieve a few letters and he mentions it in the letters and hopes that I received it. But I have not. I emailed his recruiter and have yet to hear from him. He had hurt his knee while marching which caused him to miss a bit including a swim qualifications test that he needs to make up. He mentions that he was SIQ for 2 days because he had 2 wisdom teeth pulled out and missed some more that he needs to make up. Then he mentions that he had a high fever, headache, runny nose and a bad cough. Now I am trying to keep this "no news is good news" in tact but I have made my hotel/air accommodations already and I just don't know what to do or think at this point. Others have told me that if there is a problem that I will receive a call .....but nothing as of yet. I am really stressed out and cry all the time when I am home....seems works keeps my mind off it for a short time but then at night I am a mess.

Ladyrocker-I understand your anxiety completely!! I'm not a pessimistic person by nature, but I have found myself "what-iffing" constantly. I have prayed more in the last month than I did in my previous 39+ years!! My SR said 202 sounded like an infirmary, because if all the sickness! I just keep reminding myself that they want them to succeed ALMOST as much as we do, so they will take care of our sailors! My faith is strong and my fingers are crossed! Hang in there Momma!!

Thanks Liz819 I am trying to hang in there. Going to email his recruiter now and hopefully his dad can call him today to see if we can locate this "so-called" missing "form letter".
