thank God and Hooyah to our "boys" !!! I have been incontact all week with moms that are in the thick of their sailors hellweek, and now just got the okay from them to say anything (now let me tell you how hard it was to keep my mouth shut and not talk about it) I have laughed, cried and cridged with them, answered the phone and made calls at all hours of the day and night, regardless of the 3 hour difference. Big Bravo Zulu from this NavyMom to those fantastic, brave and strong NavyMoms. And we thought bootcamp was tough a year ago...ehhh ladies.

As one of the "Stelth Ninja Mom's" in Coronado for hellweek, I just want to say how proud I was to have the opportunity to see hellweek from the thick of things. It is one of those things where you can read and study, but until you are there to see it, you have no idea (kind of like childbirth). I am so proud of those young men who pushed it out hard for the entire week. I was so impressed with the focus and dedication I saw in their faces (Yes, I was that close a few times). They are definately ROCK STARS in my book. Congratulations to all the Sailor mom's and families. I wish class 273 continued sucess for the rest of their phases.

Congrats to 273! I am an extremely proud mom of a 273 and very proud of all of these guys. It was such a releif to get that phone call on Friday am that Hellweek was secure! We visited our son on Sunday after Hellweek. He was very tired ,but ready for the next phase to start. It was great to see him. They are a very tight group of guys. Did you get some pics of any of the evolutions? I would love to see them if you did.This is my first time on this sight and very happy to have found it.
