Comment by MeganMcK on September 16, 2010 at 4:50pm: Deemedic-Wasn't that the greatest 25 minute phone call ever! They are doing so wonderful and they did so well on their test on Tuesday that they earned a flag:) I am so happy that they have a wonderful Division that is so devoted to doing well.

Comment by jacsparrow on September 16, 2010 at 4:49pm: I got a call too :) He sounds like he's doin' fine. He told me it's really not that hard, but it's different for everyone. I'm so glad he has a positive outlook on everything~

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on September 16, 2010 at 4:36pm: I will say this my daughter was 17 when she came to me and wanted to talk about her future...she had always talked bout playin softball in college and I was always pushing to have a backup plan incase of injuries..keep the grades up we can get an academic scholarship...but when she laid down her future plans at 17 I can honestly say I haven't met many grown adults that know what they want out of life and she was well prepared with the pros and cons knowing that I would have objections...but when you look in your childs eyes and you see the glow the gleam and the pure love of our country you can't do anything but say yes I'll go with you and support you 100% with this...I still struggled with it thinking she would change her mind as time went on but she kept letting me know that with her dreams of being a trauma surgeon she didn't want to be 40-50 and still paying student loans off...so hopefully she will enjoy being a MA for a year before she changes over to the medical due to it being full at the time of us signing....I know in my heart this is her dream and her hopes for a better future then she felt she would have by just going to college....she is my Pride and Joy and she so loves this World we live in and if she can make it just a smidgen of a better protected place then that's her path.....

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 16, 2010 at 4:19pm: Pink. I'm glad to hear that he sounded happy...isn't it great to hear their voices! Wow, that is awesome about your son's grandfather. Can you imagine the responsibility? Do you mean that your son's best friend joined the Navy? My son's best friend joined the Navy last year and is preparing to be a corpsman. I don't think if I was put in a position to sign papers for my son when he was 17 that I would have signed them either. It is such a big decision! I will say that my son's decision to join the Navy was his....it was a surprise to the family!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 16, 2010 at 4:09pm: TImsmom - he sounded pretty good, but I think he was happy to be in an office doing paperwork instead of whatever else the division was doing! He said he can't wait for it to be over... but I think that's typical! He called needing his birth certificate faxed over. He called back because he needed middle names for all the family - and he didn't know how to spell some of them. :) It sounded like he was just filling in boxes. My son's grandfather on his Dad's side was a Col. in the Air Force for 30 years. His best friend joined the Navy right out of high school and my son wanted to do that too, but I couldn't sign the papers for him to join (he was under 18). I just didn't know enough about it and was afraid for him. Now I'm glad he's doing this and I know it's the right thing for him.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 16, 2010 at 3:58pm: Just curious....do the women SR have separate living quarters? How does that work? I could not imagine they share a shower.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 16, 2010 at 3:57pm: Vincent's mom - so sorry to hear that you will not make it. It will be great for Vincent to have his aunt there though! So glad someone from the family can make it.

I had not idea about the t-shirts...my son would love one! I'm definitely ordering. Now I need to figure out what to do about the pictures.

Pink...so happy that you got a call. It seems like our boys have been there a week longer, so they must be doing things out of order. How did your son sound? What type of information do they need to finish the security clearance? My son's father has a lot of military and Tim's grandfather is a retired officer from the Navy. I'm not sure if that makes it easier for the security clearance or not...

Comment by marsyt03 on September 16, 2010 at 3:49pm: Pink--so glad about your phone calls. Lucky you!
Vincent's Mom-- sorry you will not be at Pir. Will say a prayer for you.
Nathan's Mom--How blessed you are that your son went to church. It is great to have something that will keep his spirits up. Molly has not mentioned church yet. Hope she tries it.

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 16, 2010 at 2:49pm: Nathan's Mom, I'm joining Pink too and crying with you and I'm at work. Thank the Lord I sit in a corner office so no one sees me. I hope a customer doesn't come in either! That is the very best and sweetest thing to say to a Mom. My son started attending Church as well and he did go on Sunday and he said the same thing. He said it was awesome and put him in such a good mood the whole day! I'm so very happy for you. These are tears of joy and sadness at the same time.

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 16, 2010 at 2:43pm: VincentsMom, I'm so sorry to hear you won't make it to PIR. We will welcome Vincent's aunt with open arms and will be thinking of you. Lots of hugs to you:(
