coltons mom, from my understanding, they won't get to make phone calls until this afternoon. It is just a waiting game for us now.

I am not 100% sure, but according to my daughter, if you are in THU, they have computers right there, as well as the phones. Computer are I think 7.00 for an hour and I do think she said they take money as well as debit. This would eliminate any theft. She said she never saw anything like that. She was pretty much all over the base and things went great for her. So yes moms they can as I said yesterday, have internet, call home and if they are in THU I think they may be able to have cell phone and lap top, I know Kayla had both. We had purchased the lap top while there and she bought a cell to get in touch with us until she got hers.

I have not been this nervous since I went through bootcamp myself. I am driving myself crazy with my son going through BS right now. Did not sleep well at all. I am just praying that I get that phone call today with him telling me, "Mom, I did it. I'm a SAILOR". then everything we have gone through will have been worth it. I am so proud of my son.

This is it!!!! The last three divisions are finishing up BS21 as I type and soon everyone waiting will get the good news that their SR is now a SAILOR!!! I am wearing my blue pin today in honor of all of their accomplishments!! What a crazy ride this has been for everyone involved....
Note to the 369,370 and 952 moms (that's me too) remember to ask your SAILOR if all passed when you talk with yours..... Off to work now!
