Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Trisha, Thank you for sharing that photo. It brought tears to my eyes, I know I will cry and Lydia you will be crying with us. I made my flight with Southwest it fly's directly to MKE in Milwaukee. Not much further from O hare and although the cheap seats are not refundable they can be exchanged within 1 year. We did early bird special and we will get A boarding class. 3 people round trip from Baltimore BWI $593.70 Supposed to be easier to get from Milwaukee to GL.

I wanted to share some awful news with you, it has been weighing on my heart. I have waited to write it because I was not sure if I should. I truly believe in the power of prayer and if this were my husband or son I would want all the prayers I could get.
Ok no more stalling here goes... The recruit that that slipped and hit his head...he went to the hospital due to the severity of the fall and I guess he kept passing out...he came back and then he dropped out of the program. Apparently, he is now in a coma. My husband says that they pray for him every night. I thought that maybe I could ask that we all do the same.
I have the name of the recruit if you would like to pray for him by name please message me.
Thank you very much. I am sorry if this upset anyone. I will leave the post for a while maybe until tomorrow and then I will delete it . Again, please let me know if you want his name.
XO

I wrote to him today and asked for an update about Ben. I also asked that he keep tabs on him and help him in any way he can. I know my husband will. As soon as I hear back you will be the first to know.
