Good Morning! Sounds like a lot of us got phone calls last night! So excited to hear her voice. Although she has a cold and said they were pushed pretty hard physically and mentally the other day, she still has a great attitude and was thankful she made it through. She said she was getting fitted for her dress uniforms today and was so excited. She can't wait for me to see her in it! I can't either. There isn't enough tissues for the tears of joy I will be crying that day!. It's the halfway point! We are almost to the finish line!! :-)

LisaPNM - We are planning on going to the Sarge's meet and greet. Sounds like a lot of good info will be given out that night and a chance for us all the meet! I want to make the most of the short time I have with my Sailor since she flys out the very next day. I'm not good at sitting in airports so we probably won't make it to that. I heard it can be a long day for them. Who knows once I get her in my sites, I may not want to leave her! ;-)

Okay Ladies, Tomorrow is Trivia Tuesday on the main facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand# If one of us is the first person to answer the question correctly, we can request a picture of our SR's division. Who's in?? I've tried for two weeks now and there is a lot of good competition!

Did anyone have their son or daughter reclassified?? My son did and he's really upset.

Reclassified in ranking, job? Did he explain to you why? So sorry. The worst is not being able to communicate with him. You cant be there for him to help through. I pray somehow it all works out. Hopefully another PNMs SR can shed some light on things bec theyve been through it. Try going onto the main chat room and asking,theres always someone on there who experienced the same thing and you can get a quick response. All the best to you and your SR

I missed the call. I think it was in ranking job. He didn't want to sign any papers until he spoke to me and I haven't heard back. He was told if they didn't honor what he signed up for he could walk away. I don't want him to give up. So frustrated!!!

By the way,it was smart he not sign anything until he speaks with you. Try calling his recruiter, he could probably explain to you in specific detail whats going on and what this means for your son. My heart goes out to you both.I tell my son, you are my son first & then my sailor. So you do what you got to do mom to help get this figured out. Its a bump in the road of life. Best of luck.
