The bad part about waiting for that "I'm a sailor" call is that 1% chance you could hear "I didn't pass". But from the rumors now told it sounds like all 3 divisions passed everyone in them. That is AMAZING and the best news. Don't worry everone else still waiting...the weekend will fly by and the "I'm a sailor" calls will continue!!!
On a funny note apparantly Cory didn't waste any time heading to the NEX after his phone calls and was THRILLED to be able to eat some junk food for the first time since boot camp started! His choices...an energy drink and reese pieces cups LOL. And...he checked into his Facebook on the internet there.
Can't wait for Thursday morning when we head out for Great Lakes, IL.

Such a good day my SR is a Sailor called us, a good friend and grandparents then called back and spoke to each family member one at a time. So great feel so much better. He was tired though says he has been up for 30 hours. I think he was as happy to talk to us as were to talk to him.
I will keep in prayer the rest of the divisions that need to complete the process. cant want for 08/05/2011.
