I don't know how you stand your only child that far away from home. When my first child moved out I had to talk to her everyday. Those first three weeks my son was gone was heart wrenching and today its only tolerable. This growing up and moving away stuff stinks

Okay, so if 947 is slated to go to BS on Monday, does that mean they will start on Monday or finish on Monday? It's like 2000 to 0800, right?

I haven't seen a great many posted yet except for FB RDC and a few on the 10/1 page. Beautiful pictures but not sure that our srs were in them. Ready, set, let's go already. They are doing well. Praying for their health ... my son is SICK right now.

My son spoke of several who are with him whom he has great respect for ... we have a great group of recruits! Now I wish I would have taken more time to try to figure out who each of them may belong to on here. Thank you so much Tenn Navy Mom for sharing that. That really touches my heart!
This was my FIRST time to be able to talk to him since he left since I missed his call last week so this was so special ... a celebratory call. No tears from me ... just squeels of delight about Captain's Cup from me. Now, once my feet touch the ground again, the tears may begin ... Oh well. spoke too soon ... there they are! :-)
He is sick so I have contacted our prayer team, have him covered there for that, for our div for battle stations. He did say that the division has decided where they are going to church Sunday, and will be attending as a group in preparation for Monday night. That made my day .... they KNOW where their strength comes from! -
