I have a friend from grade school whose daughter is in the army. She is a cook. She was stationed in Germany for 3 years (I am thinking by choice) and is now stationed in the same state as her mom, my friend, lives.

Hi Proud AG Mama! My husband is in 206 :) He is a Nuke, we are from Eugene, OR and will be going to Goose Creek, SC. So I hear ya on being as far away as possible! I'm so proud of him, but I am ready for it to be done and over with.

Nuke, sounds exciting. A field for the future. Oregon, cooler like MN, I think. South Carolina is supposed to be beautiful. You are a ways apart, even further than we are. I am betting these last few weeks will be over before we even know it. Sounds like the guys are going to be going through an even more intense time here at the end, which does make sense. I am thinking they have all adjusted to some point to the Navy way of life and now they need to get down to business and learn the intense more important part, the part they are really there for. I know I will be getting more and more anxious as PIR gets closer and closer. I wish them all luck and hope to see you all on June 20th cheering our guys on.

AMEN is all I have to say. Yes, I know exactly about the moving out forever. I have to say I am in denial on that still. Though I think my son and husband have a full grasp of it. It is for the great opportunities that we give our sons up to the Navy. They are taking a great step that will help them out through their whole life in oh so many ways, just like you said. I read boot camp makes them a better them. It causes them to grow up, but they thankfully keep the personality etc that they went in with. I hear they become very respectful and appreciative, which my son has already shown in the one letter we received.What an adventure for all involved.

Hi Proud AG Mama! My son is in div 206:) we are from San Diego. He is an AO and will be moving on to A school in Florida after BC.

Nice to meet you. AO sounds like an interesting field. Thanks for replying.
San Diego, my picture, warm with lots of rain. Florida nice and warm too. Us northern folks don't get much of that, though it is FINALLY hitting 80 up here. Seven months of very cold temps was enough for me.
My SR is headed to Biloxi after BC. Sounds like that is going to be VERY hot. He is there until Nov.

Proud AG Mama-it's nice to meet you too:) it is warm in San Diego. Not lots of rain which usually puts us in to drought status and conservation of water. Our neighbor who is from Florida said our SR will be there when it's super hot and humid. That should be interesting for him to experience.

Hi everyone. It's nice to see more families posting here. My husband is in DIV 205, E-3 Hospital Corpsman. We are from Virginia. Did any of you get a call last weekend? I guess they are getting really busy. I was expecting a call but did not get any.
