posie lee- I am sorry to have confused you, but after reading your post on how it was not a good Idea to use our SR name in our screen name I decided to change it. The discussions were all started by me so, you are right. Just decided to change it... still the same person. Have a great day.

Hey everyone.:) I am always afraid to give out screennamse just in case one person may not wish to be contacted, but in the case of the mom from Hawaii, i looked, and she has a discussion posted up here also. So i am thinking it may be OK, and that she is looking for others as well. If you go to 'discussions', she is about the 3rd page in and her name is Lucig. She has the PIR date listed as 2/14/11, which is just a typo. If you want to leave her a comment, just click on her screenname and it will take you to her page, where you will be able to post one. She may be happy to hear from someone else in the same division. She may not respond right away, it think she is mainly on FB, but learning to navigate this site.

Hello, my son is on Ship 11 Div.062. We received a phone call from our son 2 weeks ago. The Div. started with 89 kids and when we talked with him the Div is down to 69 kids. Sounds like he enjoys all the physical activity. Our 3 year old son sent our Navy boy a musical Buzz Light Year Christmas card "You got a friend in me". Our son had to open the card up 10 different times and do 8 push ups each time. A total of 80 push ups. He's asking for us to send more musical cards along with candy to see how many push ups they make him do. LOL. He said that he has gain muscle weight but lost inches. Sure wish they had Navy Mom boot camp. It's going to be great to see our boys. Talk to you later.

Yah my son told me too that some did'nt really make it. Hoping again all will be well. God bless all.
The last time I talked to him was 2weeks ago? He said he owe his oficer 500 push ups....ewww. Mistakes of his group I think he will be in trouble. He was given some responsibilities I guess. and everybody will be punished. he he. He said he does'n't mind anymore. Some would even woke him up like 2 in the morning if they needed some help. In the mornin' he said he would sleep march. LOL. He had some friends now he said and they're doin' fine. I don't know if I am allowed to tell in details what's goin' on in their group. They get along pretty well for now. They cannot wait to graduate. Some threw up and did'nt make it to the bathroom with one thing they had done.....hope I will not be in trouble for sharing too much..we talked longer the last time he called...pls. tell me what needs to be shared. thanks all. I miss him so much. I miss his smile. I remember in his letter one day when he told me that he got in trouble when he smiled. oohh.
His smile would be precious now. God bless all mothers.

Unfortunately, because I'm going back to school 2 days after PIR, it will be a lot of traveling for me. I wish I could go just to see his wonderful smile that shows how proud he is and how proud we are of him! I will not be able to attend PIR but I know his mother and grandfather are going. I'm so anxious to hear from him! Looking in the mailbox every single day! Hoping to get a phone call from him soon- do you know when they are going into Battle Stations?
