Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 15, 2010 at 9:32pm: gmarie-that's great!
I got another letter today. He wrote it on Sunday. I can't believe he's finally attending church. He said the sermon was great and it put him in such a good mood. He's still not feeling 100% from being sick. He said he is preparing for inspection and test and for their drill assessment that is going to be in the same week. He made me laugh. He said it should be a true test of how good his noggin is! He said he's grateful for all the letters I sent him. those letters we send are a lifeline to them! I'm so happy to hear from him but still the tears still flow like crazy! Thanks for letting me share. You girls are the best!

Dana, sorry I meant 4.0 which is absolutely awesome. Sorry I work with numbers all day and I guess I can't see straight by the end of the day! LOL~!!!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 9:28pm: gmarie - Oh that's awesome! You may get letters quite regularly if he can write that often! Woohoo! Good for you! I'm JEALOUS!!! :)

Comment by gmarie1113 on September 15, 2010 at 9:21pm: well he's been writing alot at night after he gets his duties completed, so i guess they're allowed to write as long as they're finished what they have to do that day. THANKS for the support(:

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 8:28pm: Chris' Girl! - LOL! I think so!

gmarie - That's awesome! I know my son's division can only send letters on Sunday right now but they get mail every day. They were hoping to get the privilege of sending letters on another day each week but I don't know that they got that yet. So if he can only send on Sunday... that might be it for this week. But that's still awesome!!!

MissU- I know they have limited space so I wouldn't send too many pictures. If you can print them out smaller and fit several on regular 8.5x11 paper that might work out better. It'll take up less room. Maybe some others have thoughts on that they'll share. I'm sure he'll love to get the pics so send as many as you can in as small of space as possible.

Comment by gmarie1113 on September 15, 2010 at 8:16pm: OH MY GOSHH ! FIVE LETTERS TODAY :D
sooo exciteddd (: he sounded good , but does that mean i wont get any more this weeek, does anyone know? he also talked about a few guys being good friends of his... Ogden, Trammel, Boykin, Woods, someone who's 32 yrs old and is the Yeoman. anyone know these guys?

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 8:00pm: Oh.. ok. That makes sense! I thought fire-fighting was so FUN! When else would I get the chance to learn that? It was a really neat experience!

The gas chamber was quite interesting as well. I remember we all put on our masks and thought that this will never work. This mask isn't going to filter out anything... but when we were told to take off our masks and recite our name and social (i think they say something else now) I thought I was going to DIE! It was AWFUL! I can tell you that the gas mask WORKS! As soon as you breath in that gas your eyes burn, your throat burns, you have boogies coming out your nose and you think you're going to throw up! SO then you realize how important it is to don that mask when you're told to do so! ;)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 7:45pm: winniesam - he only got a 4.0 out of 5.0 but still good in my book! ;)

Awesome about being a guidon!!! You'll be able to pick out your son quite easily then! Ask him what flag he'll be carrying to make it even easier.

Hi Stevie! So is the 4th week "hell week" then? Anyone know what they do that week?

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 15, 2010 at 7:35pm: Yeaaaa Missy on getting a phone call from your hubby!

Dana, wow! a 5.0. That's terrific! My son said that he is a guidon. Of course, I said, what the heck is that? He said, "Mom, I hold the flag and lead the division and will do so at graduation". My sister said I should really bring a towel to PIR because she knows I cry at the drop of a hat. I even cry when I see someone getting married and I don't even know them! LOL.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 15, 2010 at 7:31pm: My husband was out mowing and chatted with the neighbor for a bit but hubby didn't ask what the agent asked him! That would be the first question outa my mouth! LOL!!!

I'll find out soon and let you all know. It's so interesting, huh? I'm sure it was basic stuff... just to find out what kind of kid he is. He's never been in any trouble. Just a good, level-headed young man. :)

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 15, 2010 at 7:19pm: @ Dana, no way! Did the neighbor tell you what they asked? How interesting. Tell me more.
