Thanks Kim - I know writing a letter and pouring out my feelings will help.
Lou - I have thought of you and your son often since your son was placed in a new division. It seems like a lot of the divisions just aren't pulling together. Hopefully, your son (& all our recruits) will take this experience and grow from it. I am so excited for you that May 21st is the BIG DAY! It will be a great day for both of you!!!!

Update time. My son does not love his new division. They put him into a division that had lost 20 guys. The group does not seem to have bonded well, they have had 4 different leaders in the past 2 wks. I am hoping that this week during seamanship & firearms training, they will come together. This new division is in last place, while his 1st division finished in 2nd place & won a lot of flags. His knee is good--he said the therapy was much tougher than the regular boot camp drills. I know he is in better shape now than when he arrived in GL on Feb 23rd. He also has more "experience" I guess than the other guys since he has been there longer, so hopefully that will help him. I think being set back is so tough on our kids, but it really is a bump in the long road of life. They will be stronger & appreciate graduating even more. I can't wait for May 21st !!

Mary Jo, do you know if your son needs surgery?

Hi all,
Update - my daughter called a little while a go with her bone scan results. She has 2 hip stress fractures (we thought it was only 1) and minor stress fractures in her shins. The DR is more concerned about her hip than her shins. She seemed very down when she called. However, she is in phase 3 and has an appt with the DR again next week, when she hopes and prays that she will be moved to phase 4. Does anyone know how long they are in phase 4? I can tell she is having a tough time knowing it could be another 4 weeks before going into a new division. I am completely stressed out and did not do a very good job of pumping her up on the phone - it was short and I had a lot of questions. UGHHHH! I'm so upset with myself for not pumping her up. Please add her to your prayers for a speedy recovery. I feel so bad for these kids in RCU.

My son has an ACL tear after 2 weeks of boot camp. Do they ever let them do anything but sit in their barracks? He is going stir crazy.

Thanks Kim - my daughter got a call on Friday too, but call her BF. She told him that she would call again on Sunday, so I guess she didn't know. I feel so much better now! Her most recent letter written on Tuesday last week said that she has moved from phase 2 to 3 with only one more phase to go before going in a new division. She also said that she is continuing with her testing so she is ready to move forward - that's good news too! She has her bone scan today - I hope it is good news as well. She is now going to Freedom Hall to walk 3 times a day. Sounds like she is progressing with her therapy even though she sounds sad in her letters. I wonder how Lou's son is doing in his new division. Thanks again. I'll keep you posted. How is Sarah doing? I know they met last Sunday when they were making phone calls - they were sitting across from one another - how funny! :) Valerie
