My son called on Wednesday,(8-14) and pink eye is going around the Ship (tight quarters). Yes, he has it and was allowed to call home, due to medical. It was great to hear from him, he is bunking with a boy that has a girl friend and kid. He is doing well, and I am counting down the days till Sept. 20th also! See you all there! He has a leadership role, too! Has bling on his uniform! They received their "dress" clothes, too, last week!

What a wonderful way to start my Saturday! Phone call from my youngest SR (div 352). It took me a few seconds to realize which one was calling me. He sounds great, said they have a good RDC and he is counting down days until graduation. He will be on the lookout for his brother tomorrow at the Contemporary Chrisitian service...he is excited about that.

Our sailor's girlfriend called this morning to tell us she had received a call from our son. It was fun just hearing her relate the conversation to my wife - they sounded like two sorority sisters catching up. As you might guess that will make this a great day for all of us. We are looking forward to getting to know y'all in the coming weeks and putting faces with names at PIR.

Hello, my SR is Ship 14 Div 351...I also just got a call from him today, he seemed to be doing fine just really tired and with sore feet. He didn't really start to sound upset until he got to talk to our daughter since she started to cry. LOL funny thing though...I just posted this on the main page too...they are using MAXI PADS in their boots to help with the blisters! Now, why didn't I think of that when I was in basic years ago....

I put this on the main 9/20 forum, but y'all may want to check with your auto insurer to see if you can drop your sailor/cease coverage while they are in basic training and A school. That may save you enough to pay for your travel to PIR :) Our son is in DIV 352, so we want as many of you there as possible.

Howdy, I thought I better get on here, my husband is showing me up! Actually he has to help with with all this computer stuff:) My SR is on shp14 div352, and called his girlfriend this morning. She called me as soon as she could, I put it on speaker so both my husband and I could hear her. It was so enjoyable to hear her relay what my son had to say. He said he was having fun, go figure! My husband is a former Marine, and had given him some tips on this stuff. I wish there was a way for me to have prepared for his absence here. I have the another heading off for the Air Force in October:(
So very proud of them, so very glad they have chosen this road!!!

LOL I know, I didn't think to ask him who it was I was just so busy laughing my butt off about it! I know that when I was in basic we came up with all kinds of "tricks" only to find out a month later that we really weren't as clever as we thought and our Drill Sergeants (I was Army) made sure we knew that! We weren't allowed to eat "fatty cakes" so we would butter our bread, dump sugar on it, and then fold it in half to eat it...our whole platoon was doing this. Then one day we did the usual, bit into our breads, and we all made the most awful faces ever! They had replaced the sugar with SALT and were literally falling off their chairs watching us as we realized it was salt. I think that was the ONLY time I ever heard my sergeants laugh...I told my SR don't start thinking you guys are smart...I'm sure others have done it and it's just one of those "guarded basic survival secrets" that isn't as "secret" as they think!
