Hey, again, Lydia!  Yep, ladies...Lydia described PIR very appropriately!  It is THE BEST!  And she is so right about hanging on to your possessions in the bleachers...because many times, they escape into the "big abysss"-- never to be seen again.  So be very careful!  Wouldn't be a good idea to drop young children through the bleachers either....ok, just kidding there!  I'm sure you will hang on tight to them!

Yes, the exciting part for you all IS just beginning...the last couple of weeks of bootcamp are both nail-biting and exciting...for all on here!  But once that" I'm a Sailor" call comes....wow....you are then on the TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN and will stay there for quite some time.  It is truly a wonderful feeling!

Now....onward to becoming US NAVY SAILORS!  Thanks, Lydia, for the inspiration!

That's awesome Cheryl!!!  Actually my son plays drumset (barefoot by the way) on the song "Baptized" by Lenny Kravitz when we have baptisms in our church.  My older son sings it, my daughter plays keyboards and my husband plays bass!  I'm sure he is missing his drumset and drumbox now.  I will say a special prayer for just for her :)  And to all of you whose kids are having injury/medical issues, they're in my prayers as well.

@Kendra- Ouch for Meg's ankle!!  CB said she has been having trouble with her knee and finally had to go to medical.  Found out she has a knee spur.  Doc gave her ibuprofen and ice packs three times a day for the remainder of BC.

Received another letter from CB!  Smile.  She sounds good/upbeat for the most part.  Says she has her moments still but she is doing good. She wants to get baptized while she is at BC- said she will wait a week for me to reply in case I want her to wait until she is back in our church in Virginia- I will let her know I WANT HER TO EXPERIENCE IT DURING BC IN GL WITH HER NEW NAVY FRIENDS )!!!!  For you Moms that know my CBs name, PLEASE have your recruits to give her a HUUUUUUUUGE SPECIAL hug from her "Mommy" after her baptism.  Laugh- she only calls me Mommy when she is emotional, so she will appreciate hearing that I am there through your sons and daughters :-)  AZK- mayber your "Drummer" can play something special for her :-)

Kendra:  OUCH!  That hurts but I bet she will heal just fine!

AZKMom:  The parking passes for this group may even be up next Friday...they are usually up on Mondays for the Fri PIR groups...but normally don't go up over the weekends...so thinking here...maybe next Friday is "the day" to be checking RTC upcoming grad page for the "get gate pass" prompt!  HOOYAH!
