I felt so informed after scouring this site for the 4 months my SR was in DEP that it felt good to get my questions/concerns/etc. reaffirmed by the veterans. I was on BC moms today and didn't feel out of my element. I don't know how much I will/can contribute but I will try and also will try to be accurate. FTLW you and diannep are a wonderful source of knowledge for us - I appreciate it.

I also tried to win the Trivia Tuesday contest and was milliseconds behind the winner. So frustrating. I know we all wanted to see our SR's. But I guess we are destined to wait until graduation. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday. 9 days 19 hours and 32 minutes till we see them march through those doors.

Thank you FTLW. Today's a much better day. 9 days and counting. And the song stuck in my head is Red Solo Cup. Been singing it since I woke up. I wonder if it's my subconscience telling me something. lol

Lol. That is too funny. That video is what really makes the song. haha. My brain derailed yesterday and moved to the Village People's "In the Navy". So now I've been singing that. I had to watch the video on You Tube and laughed so much. I can't believe I had never watched that video before. I'm thinking about posting it on my SR's facebook page to surprise him when he gets priveledges again. He'd love me for that. LOL

NavySoccerMom - in a letter from my brother a couple weeks back he talked about how much they all miss music so they all sing to make up for it. He LOVED Red Solo Cup around the time of his departure for BC and has had it stuck in his head since. He said he would start singing it and the rest of the division would catch on and sing with him. He said he thought Toby would be proud. ;)
