For our Sailors - the Father's Blessing
Numbers 6:24-26 from the NIV
May the LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
I especially like it from the Message translation
God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.
May these words ring true for each and everyone of you!

Thanks dans mom, I sure hope they get a chance to call and don't lose it. We will be at the Twins game but the phone will be glued to my hand at all times with the ringer as loud as it goes. At least I know the reception will be good there. I also sent a friend request to exchange names.

And the day just got even better. Just confirmed that Dan's mom son and my son are bunk mates and have become fast friends. What a great feeling to be in contact with her and know that our boys have each other!

michele....a few have gotten a letter, but not much else on what is going on. I haven't gotten a word from my son yet. A mom was saying earlier that her SR said in his letter that there are some excessive talking issues with this division. I have also heard that the longer the SR's have been there, the better the chance for a phone call or letter. My son got to BC on the 17th. That was the last day to arrive and be in this graduating class. Keep the faith. I am praying for strenth for SR's and their families. Also, take a look at the group Prayer Needs. It is really uplifting......Have a good night

For the M&G - what if we asked each hotel to put a white board by the front desk where we could all sign in w/ our user ID from N4M, and maybe room #?
Anyone else staying @ the LaQuinta so far?
I still need some help with: how do I order a ribbon? and how exactly do I find our design on zazzle? Thanks all! going to hit the hay pretty quick - I pray everyone who hasn't gotten thier letter or call gets one tomorrow! Stay Navy Strong Moms! (& other loved ones:-) ) If someone wants to friend me & send a message w/ info on ribbons, M&G ideas, and our zazzle design- I would appreciate it! Love to all ~

Ok, I think we need a Navy Mom Olympics video. I am picturing slow motion women hurdling over couches, throwing people out of the way, to get to the phone. Sprinting down the driveway to get to the mailbox! I feel like I have joined some secret society!
I bet if just one Mom was at RTC the SR's would be playing nice in the sandbox, and we would all have our letters and phone calls by now. Soooo, who wants to infiltrate?

recieved a letter and a phone call at work. that was it my work day was over at that point. talked for about 30 minutes. said the food was good and that the 1st week was the hardest since they didnt do much. his div was told there are other divisions fighting and arent getting it together. funny story: the first sunday they all got in trouble for something so they had to spend bird watching out a frosted window that you cant see through.
he sounds great. he wasnt thrilled with the tooth pulling. Why do they pull their wisdom teeth. he also said that they get mail every night at 9:00. they call your name and throw the mail at them. if do dont get a letter your just kind of standing there. so keep sending the letters . he said there is a kid from texas that hasnt gotten a letter at all. he feels bad for him. I am wishing you all phone calls because it has made my birthday the best ever. be patient its coming soon
