Are y'all friends on facebook with Recruit Training Command? Every Tuesday at 10AM central time (11 AM for me!) they post a trivia question that can be answered by studying up the RTC website - the site they post the graduation dates. Whoever is the first to answer the question right FIRST gets to choose a DIV and RTC will post pictures of the DIV on facebook!! So, let's all study up tonight so that we can win tomorrow! RTC also posts pictures randomly of DIVs throughout bootcamp- It is so fun looking for them!

Wow, I am so glad to connect with 7/290 gorup!! I have been going nuts. Well I am told no news is good news. This is week three and I am praying for that phone call so I will know how he is doing. I will know what to pray for and have peace about how he is doing. No letter yet. Hopefully this week. My mailman knows he is in the Navy. So he knows I am stalking him everyday hoping to hear something. He says he understands, he was in the Navy himself. He says its a great experience and once the kids make it through bootcamp, it will be better. This is encouraging to hear! My husband and I plan on being at the grad on 9/1. Hope to meet some of you moms there, but I know we all will be so excited to see our Sailors, it will be hard to give everyone else attention. Ladies, all I can say is keep the faith!! I have been praying for our div everyday. I beleive they all are going to do well. I try to sound uplifting when I write and tell him congratulations for making it through another week! They will soon be a the half-way mark next week. Time is flying by so fast. I still feel sad but not as bad as the first 2-3 days when he left. We miss him so much, but this is the best thing for him and we support his decision and want him to do exceedingly well. Again keep the faith and know they are going to be fine.
