Hi Ladys, I just got 4 free calling cards to send my son. 2 are for him and 2 are to share with other recruits. It's a nice gesture from this group. If you'd like you can go to callsforrecruits.org. I've sent out an email last week and got the cards today. They want to spread the word so all recruits get a chance to speak to a love one.
each card is 20 minutes free of charge to us
Ooops, yes, Kim....meant start Training Week 3 next week. Sorry about that!
Zachysmom say this pray to find some peace in your heart
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
That was a problem with my older son and the Army. We got a doctors note-he was off for two years. We had to get the doctor to write a note saying that he had not been prescribed any since that year. Does he have a letter on file stating that he has been off since then?
Prayers for the both of you! It is sometimes hard to remember, but God has a plan for everyone.
Sending prayers for your SR, Zachysmom. Keep faith that he will overcome this obstacle.
I know you must be worried! Was he able to tell you what was wrong? My friends daughter got pulled during air force boot camp for a week, but they allowed her to continue and finish. I think they had to create a special diet for her.
