Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on December 9, 2010 at 8:07pm: Congratulations to you Tricia on receiving your letter. Also congratulations to your husband for such an accomplishment. Top 10 good for him. Can't wait to hear what is going on with my son. I am tired of all of these racing thoughts, some good, some bad. I know that no news is good news and I haven't heard anything. It is so cold so I am wondering is warm enough because I know how he couldn't stand the cold, had an electric blanket on his bed. I just need to hear something.

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on December 9, 2010 at 7:55pm: No letter today, I am quite disappointed.

Comment by KLP0824 on December 9, 2010 at 7:25pm: finally booked our flight it seem so sureal now i havent been checking the mail box at all this week havent wanted to get disappointed and cry but am finally going to check it tomorrow hopefully i get something so to all those who have receive letters congrats and am happy for you and to all who havent yet we will get them soon just hang in there

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 9, 2010 at 6:44pm: I think it would be great if anybody that needs transportation lets everybody know because there are many that will be getting rental cars and most can always squeeze a few more in, right?

Comment by KLP0824 on December 9, 2010 at 6:40pm: tricia so glad to hear you got a letter today your so lucky and happy to hear your hubby doing good too submarinemom am also staying at the ramada i was thinking the same thing that the shuttle leave a little to late for me and i dont want to miss anything but am not sure what am going to do

Comment by SDPam on December 9, 2010 at 6:04pm: Hi everyone! Tricia - so glad you heard from your hubby and thanks for the cammie info. My daughter was so looking forward to those! She told me she had lost 6#'s when they first weighed her. Wonder how thin she'll be at PIR? I try to keep myself very busy so I'm not thinking about her all the time. Work, volunteer work, church, cleaning closets.......our house should be SPOTLESS by Jan 28th. lol.
Thanks for the links Jessica - always appreciate the info.
Keep the faith ladies :-)

Comment by Tricia_Stennis Crash and salvage on December 9, 2010 at 5:30pm: What is everyone putting in their cards? Are you putting your names? I'm kinda worried, I don't want my sailor to get in trouble for this....It all depends on the RDC....

Comment by Lynne on December 9, 2010 at 5:15pm: They can eat whatever will fit on their tray and whatever they can consume in those 12 minutes...but I think as their bodies change and they become so hydrated they simply require less...they just eat healthier...

Penny great questions about the Christmas cards...I would make sure they are in the mail by no later than the 16th. If you don't have names by then, simply send them generically. Send them in a manilla envelope to your recruit...and ask them to pass them out on Christmas day. You could write a message on your computer...print out 88 of them because this is the about the max number of recruits per division and then glue it in the card with your name and address. Maybe some will write back to you. Let them know that there are moms and family members who would love to write to them and encourage them through boot camp. Unfortunately too many recruits get no mail...very sad I know.

Message me about the RDC issue.

Comment by Marissasmom(Ship03 Div360) on December 9, 2010 at 5:09pm: Lynne, do they gradually start feeding them less? when they change the portion and tray sizes?

Yes Scottysmom... I will see you there!!

Comment by scottysmom(ship 7div55) on December 9, 2010 at 4:55pm: Thanks Lynee . . . I might take a taxi.

submarinemom . .I'll see you at the Ramada!!
