Folks...please don't let this keep you from posting but:
As per the N4M Community Guidelines and OPSEC (OPerational SECurity)...Last Names of Sailors/Recruits may not be posted on this website. I know that RTC FB allows it but this one does not. This is a volunteer run site...the RTC FB one has a moderator who is a civilian worker in for the Navy...so we have different rules.
It really is good OPSEC practice anyways...as your soon to be Sailors will have details about their career that they will not be able to share with you...and even when they are able to...they may have to ask for your secrecy on it. When my hubby was coming back from Iraq...he could not tell me the actual date until he hit "friendly soil". I only knew July and a "guestimation" on a date.
It is also not a good idea to post personal information such as phone numbers or email addy's. This is a public site and anyone can read it...they do not have to be a member. HOWEVER...you may "friend" each other on here and exchange private info that way!
That being said I am going to go back, edit your posts and repost them without the personal info.
Please read this Discussion from your Discussion Forum on the N4M’s Community Guidelines and OPSEC (clickable link)...and please read all the other Discussions that I have posted to get basic helpful info about Boot Camp and PIR! Just click "View All" at the bottom right of the Discussion Forum area on the Main Page of the group!
Thank you!

Sorry about that! Well now that we have each others numbers, I guess we don't need it to be posted up anymore! Thanks for clarifying that for us!

Got my phone call around 6:00 pm (MI time). She is tired and homesick, but so good to hear her voice! Hope you got your calls too. Helps to hear their voices.

I got my call around 3 which would be 5 their time. It was short but it was good to hear her voice. She made Section Leader and Yeoman which is good. Unfortunately she's go pneumonia but she's fighting through it and trying to keep working out with the rest of her division. I really hope she doesn't have to be sent to Medical Seps. But she didn't seem too worried about it so I'm glad.

Simplejake, Sorry to hear your SR is ill, hope she blows it off quickly. They take very good care of their investments (our SR's) so I am sure they will watch over her. Mine had 4 wisdom teeth pulled and is ticked that the holes are still open, said she gets a 3 course meal in them.Was great to hear their voices!

I really believe in her but pneumonia is a pretty serious illness. I just hope that she doesn't push herself too hard and end up doing more damage than good. I know she'll keep pushing herself before she says that she needs to go to Medical. And that's the biggest thing I'm worried about. Being an EMT herself, I would think that she would know the dangers of that, but she won't let anything stand in her way of being a Corpsman. I'm praying for her and excited to get her next letter on Thursday. Hopefully she'll be a little better by then =]
