Aww....jackrussellmom I think I'd be the same way if I didn't have a husband to keep reminding me he's gonna be ok. It breaks my heart that he might not be home for a long time. Maybe at Christmas but that's not certain.
I'll be praying for Anthony and Jacob!! hang in there we can do this!! -

I think it's so great that we're able to do this. I feel your pain...but like you said, it does get a little better every day, but I will feel whole again when i'm able to see and talk to him!! I think the boys will think it's pretty cool that we are all supporting each other out here while they're supporting each other in there! Have a good Thursday...I keep searching the pictures on the Navy FB page :) It would be so awesome to get a glimpse of them!

Close. My son is in division 249. He's a Nuke and will be headed to Charleston after PIR.

My son is in 249 as well and will also be a Nuke! :-) Maybe they know each other.
I'm still waiting for a letter. He was able to call on 6/13. Have you received letters yet?

Hi Mary, I'm sure they do. I haven't gotten any letters yet. My son called on 6/13 and 6/21. He said that the recruit in charge of mail was not doing such a good job so they have been unable to mail anything out but they are receiving mail. Are you going to PIR?

Yes, I'll be there. (that's grad, right?) I didn't get a call on the 21st. I wish I knew all the rules. It's hard to have complete separation! I've been writing a lot so hopefully he's getting letters consistently. Thanks for the response! It helps to know others aren't getting mail either. I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong.

Yes, PIR is Pass in Review or graduation. I read below that your son is sick. I'm sorry about that. Mine had some complications from his wisdom teeth removal and he has some kind of respitory crud. He said everyone is sick. He loves it though. We will be at PIR too. We only live about an hour away from Great Lakes. That's great now but getting to South Carolina when he's in A school will be more difficult.

Finally got his letters today!! There were seven envelopes. I was thrilled to hear from him. But so worried at the same time...he has been sick for two weeks. Bad cough, vomiting during PT, etc. Anyway...I hope you get your letters today too! He was on bed rest and missed the 6/21 phone call privileges.
