The Teitgen Family extends our thoughts and prayers to the Swink family.
Update: Just heard from DJ... They have an event Monday... long hike. they just got done with an event and his platoon did not win the event so they have to load and unload everyones gear and eat last... Their platoon is not happy so they are winning mondays event. Should be interesting.
Our family is only 6hrs away from CP so we are traveling Monday and we will stay til Friday. Our whole family is going. He has to report to his next duty station by Sunday and he needs 2 days to travel there, so we will try to be soaking up ALL of his time between Monday and Friday. hopefully he will have time for us. If the moms are meeting up I'd like to try and meet you all. Let me know.

Just found this sight after following a trail from some other groups that I belong to. I want to extend my deepest condolences to the Swink family. My son is also a corpsman in Afghanistan and I can only imagine the sadness and sorrow that the family is feeling, but they should also know how very proud we all are of him and the work that he did. I wish I could do to ease their pain. My thoughts are with the family.

RuthVH2- that is sooo funny... I bet my son is living out of his car too but NOT saying anything to me because I can't imagine where ALL of his civial clothes are being stashed because their space is soooo small! He probably gets that from me too... lol... I was like that in my early 20s... Even now it isn't messy but if you need something I probably have it in my van. My hubby has learned to deal with it too. lol...

Hi everyone.. I have been soooo busy with the start up of school. i'm an office manager at an elementary school. school started wednesday and i have been working 12 days to get the school up and running. anyways my sailor called me 3 days ago. he just got back from his field experience. he liked it. he passed his test with a 96 and then got a 92 on this last test. He said that wasn't bad since out of 288 in his grad class 72 of them failed. their next test isn't for another few weeks. He has duty today so maybe I will hear from him later today. So catch me up. What's going on with everyone.

My son is leaving for CP next week for FMTB, does anyone know what things he need to take? He said he could take his laptop, what about civilian clothes.
thanks

Jacqueline,
This link lists the phases of sarc at the bottom. Not sure if that's the actual training sequence though.

Jacqueline,
Just don't get too concerned yet with everything you read...your son's just starting this pipeline and it takes a while before he'd be in a position to get deployed and a lot of training between here and then. A lot can change in the meantime. Don't want you to get too nervous yet!
