OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

I got 2 letters! I called home to check with Ty and the phone was busy 'cause he was calling his dad to tell him about the letters. They were written on the 16th and 18th and his handwriting was horrible on the first and all printing on he second. It took us 10 minutes to decypher his handwriting! I'm downloading the NFL scores he asked for and can't quit smiling! He really seems to like it!
It warmed up, it's 11 :)
Samantha that is just way too cold. We get that cold once in a while but I am so glad it doesn't happen very often. It is hard to believe going to IL will be warmer for anyone this time of year :-) Stay warm!
mome2jord, Wow, he is doing just wonderfully. You have every reason to be one proud mom!
Finally got to read the letters...that son of mine just touches me everytime he writes. He said he is the weapons petty officer. I guess he helps teach how to hold a weapon. He said he is helping out more and he enjoys it. He is also the APO which means he helps lead during all the physical stretching. Just as I think I could not be more proud, he supersedes my expectations. I can never get through a letter without a small breakdown, but yet they help at the same time. What an emotional experience that I am not sure if I would wish on anybody just yet...lol!!!
mome2jord, I love Sedona, it's so beautiful!
Sweetlove...did you get your purple tree out yet?:)
Samantha....love the devious mom mind:) How did you like living in Kingman? We live in Sedona area. It really is beautiful country here, I love it and when the snow falls it is breathtaking. Although we are fortunate we do not get snow like Flagstaff!!
Thanks for the prayers, they worked. My hubby made it safely to Albuquerque. He says they are expecting 6-12 inches of snow between now and tomorrow. Yikes!
That will totally shut down that city. LOL
Mom2jord, I just moved back to MD from a little bit NW of Albuquerque in May. Where are you in AZ? I know that AZ is usually warmer than NM this time of year. Stay cozy and warm.
Sweetlove, You go girl! That's awesome! Keep it up!
Rachael, sending positive thoughts for letters today.
