Congrats to all!
I am still in the "my daughter is freaking out phase" and getting panicked phone calls about how confused she is. She has been in class for a month. I hope it gets better????
Congratulations to the new CTI's. We are heading to Monterey next week to see our son for the first time since boot camp. Can't wait.
Greenoak, we can both breathe! My son passed as well. He told me that every single Navy person in his division and his sister division passed. Bravo Zulu Sailors!
Aaand she passed! Cant wait to see her next week, so thrilled..
Air Force even lol
My daughter warned me not to ask about yesterday as everyone gets all crabby about it and she will let us know whenever she finds out, she said Wednesday or Thursday they should get the results. Lisa hope your youngest does well with the AIrforce Appt.
Lisa, I have not heard anything about testing yesterday either and also decided not to text/call my son. It will be nearly impossible to do the same this evening but I want him to have a chance to decompress and process before I start asking questions... Huge congrats to your younger son! That is something fabulous to focus on to be sure!!!
Greenoak, holding mine right along with ya :)
Greenoak and Beckmcs, Sending nothing but positive vibes to our guys. Has anyone heard how today went? Mine didn't text me. I didn't want to disturb him, so I've kept my hands off the phone. We found out today our youngest got an appointment to the Air Force Academy. So that kept my mind off what's going on in Monterey.
Holding my Breath!.....
Lili ship, my son takes the DLPT this week so post DLI life is but a dream :)
