Hi all,
My sailor girl is doing fine, I assume. I haven't heard much from her. That is what deployment is like, they are busy. There is a sailor on her ship who posts many updates on a certain FB page. I hope he isn't breaking any safety rules, because he posts a lot of details. Concerns me. I asked Chrissy and she said that he is "odd".
lovey1020, they have to wear something to RTC so recruiters recommend sports bras. Chrissy's clothes were all shipped back to me in The Box, even the things recruiter said she could take. And she was issued Navy clothes. One thing she wanted to do after PIR; go shopping for bras and underwear!
Recruiters are stupid. Your daughter only needs the clothes she will be wearing for traveling there.

Catsmom glad you made it home safe--cant wait to see pictures
Spyder013 why do we wear red on Friday?
And I am way confused, my daughters recruiter gave her a list of things to bring to RTC, sports bra, swimsuit etc...but I thought they aren't suppose to bring anything... so if anyone can shed some light it would be appreciated 5 days till she ships
