Got my call about 1pm PDT, and had two letters waiting for me at home. She is doing great, says BC sucks and she can't wait for it to be over but she says it is doable. She is sick, a runny nose, and was coughing a bit by the end of the conversation, but says the whole division is sick. She is counting down the days. She says the days pass strangely, they go by so fast, but when she looks back she is surprised at all the things they did that day. She is passing all her tests and says she will do everything in her power not to get asmoed. She doesn't want to be there any longer than she has to be. Yay for determination!

I think they're all sick at this point. Everyone (including Joe's dad) said that on OC day, they all need to get a big, fat lung full of it and it'll kick the Recruit Crud they've caught. It's pretty dreadful, but they WILL feel better...

Ok, ladies! What is wrong with me????? I spoke with my SR today. He is doing well (except for the cold) and is passing all of his tests. But since I got off the phone with him this afternoon, I cannot seem to stop crying. I thought this was supposed to get easier. However, I seem to miss him even more now! Is it just me???? Are any of you feeling this way as well??

I'm sure it's not just you, Christa!
I'm at the other end of the spectrum right now. I was high as a kite over talking to him today and now I'm frustrated and feeling like I'm less important than his fiancee; like he only wanted to talk to her about what is going on and just called me because she didn't answer her phone. (I know this is a COMPLETELY irrational feeling and I'm kicking myself for even thinking this way but I'm so insecure right now...)

Thanks Christa! (((HUGS BACK)))
Don't ever let him get married. Sharing time with some other girl sucks. ;)

LOL... Well, I hope that he will marry one day. But since he is only 20 I am hoping it will not be any time in the near future. LOL! I dread the day when I am not the most important female in his life!

It's a whole lot easier when you love the girl he's gonna marry!
I just found out that some of the "family-of-choice" we have from Scarborough Renaissance Festival have decided to get together and raise enough money for Joe's fiancee and I to get to PIR!
Yeah, I'm totally in tears today.

Wow that is great law and trust me from a girlfriend prespective that its hard for us sharing them. We always feel like we are second to the mothers. No one can ever replace there mom. My sr called me first and we talked for about 20 mins then he asked me to three way his mom in so she spoke with him for a little too. It was nice.
@Christa i know exactly how you feel but i am trying to not think about it like i am just trying to stay postive that he sounded so happy and focus. Just keep postive. And tomorrow is letter day for me yyyeeeaahhhh
