juliea243 - I'm sure they are doing okay. I spoke with my daughter once yesterday morning, she was calling for information. The call was very brief and she wasn't allowed to "talk" to me really. She had someone with her. She called again last night, sounded a little better, gathering more information for security check. She is struggling. She said that bootcamp is fvery intense. She is homesick, tired, and said she doesn't remember why she joined the navy. I am worried about her but I am told this is all normal. She said she received a letter from me and she mailed a couple of them home. I have yet to receive them. I keep trying to give her encouragement. I hope that is enough. By the end of the conversation she was feeling a little better. My heart is breaking but I keep praying she will find the strength to do what she needs to do. Let me know if you hear from your daughter. It would be nice to know if they were in the same group. My daughter is on laundry duty of some sort, with 3 other girls. Not enough time to talk with her. I too am anxiously awaiting the arrival of that first letter.

Sailormom : You spoke to your daughter !!!! I am extact for you. I just replied to your email. and I did not know that it was you that I was talking about about someone heard from their daughter. Good to hear that she is sounding better. Poor kids, wow and I think that she is being so brave. You have some brave girls. sailormom and juliea243. I am so glad that she was feeling better. Encouragment, even when you want to tell them to come home..... I am happy to hear that she received a letter hoping that my sailor has recieved one from me. I am anxious too, very anxious. Sailormom your encouragement was enough, you know her and if she was sounding better by the end of the conversation. Good Job Mom....

Rene, your recruit is scheduled to graduate this coming Monday and you haven't heard anything from him? Wow, I don't know what to say. You must be able to call someone up there to find out what is going on...have you contacted his recruiter? There are other people who have more experience than I in this...hopefully they will be able to give you more info...I just wanted to touch base with you. Good luck. I'll be thinking about both you and your son. What ship and division is he on?
