not yet and today has really sucked!!! My whole family must think I have gone totally bonkers with the crying!!! from what i understand today is the first oppertunity they have to get mail out so stalk the mail box and the mail man this week. i know i will be. Being a navy brat growing up i was used to my dad being gone but this is a WHOLE different ball game.she has not lived at home in a year because she got married and moved to TN but i could talk to her everyday there. Her hubby will get all the phone calls i think. I hope he misses one so then maybe she can call me!!!!

Hi Angel W. Sailor Mom
I used the brochure they sent us and booked a room at Red Carpet Inn. The first place on the brochure. They said the give a discount because we are going to the graduation. They have an outdoor pool for my 12 year old son
since he is so excited to go and see his sister graduate. Did you get that hotel from the brochure as well. That would be awesome if they knew each other. I wonder how many of them are in a Divison. There must be a lot.
I hope we get a letter by the end of the week.Do you know the rules on whether you can post your recruitsfirst name at all?

I just got a letter today! So excited. Anyways she sounds better than she did the first couple of
days in her note. Also said she didn't pass her pt test (sit-ups or something). and she might
not have liberty weekend.
She said she couldn't tell me if she had it or not. She said she would let me know in
her future letters if she had it or not. Do you know if your daughter has that? I wonder if anyone
on this site can give me more information on this. I was beginning to get very worried, so glad I got
a letter today.
She also said they are completely cut off from the outside world and didn't know about
Bin-Laden for a couple of days.
Also wanted to tell you I read on the other site if you go on Facebook and search for Recruit Training Command,you can click on photos on the lefthand side and see new pictures of the recuits.
Got to get back to work.
Bye
