Hi all! Wow it's been awhile since I was last on here. Here's my update: my daughters PIR was May 29th, all went well, it was great to see and hug her!! She stayed in GL for her A school and is doing awesome! Already got a Bravo Zulu for uniform inspection. She got verbal orders to be stationed in VA but no written orders yet. And she comes home next month, yay!!

Well I got my 2nd letter from my baby girl. You can tell SHe is defiantly home sick and is upset cause no one is writing her except me,her siblings, and her god mom.I don't know how to make friends and family to write her. Its very frustrating they all said they would and shes been gone since June 29th and its only a few of us writing She passed her Swim test with flying colors. They did their 1st PT she said she did 103 sit up, 22 push ups, and was on the 10th lap at 10 mins, she had 5 mins left to do 2 more laps when they called a Training time out cause some passed out. SO they weren't able to finish it. She passed her Personal Inspection they said everything was perfect Thank u ROTC lol, and she got 1 hit on her DMI inspection that is bunk make up and folding and putting things away.she said overall her division failed. She wasnt able to call home sunday cause she was on bed rest, her sugar bottomed out on her so they made her stay in bed for 2 days. Well that pretty much sums it up, She wishes time would hurry lol

Hi all, Happy Hump day! I love reading all the updates on your lives and your sailor's.
Memorizes of BC days. Some things have changed since the summer of 2009, but much is still the same. Then it is on to A school. Chrissy stayed in GL for A school, I got pics online then. My favorite was when she participated in Flag Day she was part on a human flag! Now she is in VA, married to another sailor. Her six year anniversary of PIR is next month. I am so proud of her and all of our daughters.
