@Rose: If you click on the "View All' at the bottom right corner above---above the black line (that says comment wall), you will see the discussions. Go to the bottom of that first page...and click on page "3". When you get on that page, you scroll down and you will see a title "Lynne's Questionnaires." Click on that...Then on that page, you will see "Attachments" towards the top. Under that are the different questionnaires that Lynne has posted. Just click on one to open it and print it out to mail to your recruit.

I know...computer stuff can be complicated! Believe me, I know! I hope that this allows you to get to the questionnaires!

Thanks Lynne for your words. Lynne I try to do what diannep said about going to forum and look for the questionarie, I'm very bad a computers I know the basic but I didn't saw anything; I must to be looking in the wrong place. That idea sound very good. Can you please guide me how to get it.? I want to send it with the letter that I'm writing tonight. Since I find out the address (last week) I send already four letter and trying to make it easy for my son I include an envelope with a stamp and wrote the address outside, he just need to find a pen and write, I even include a piece of blank paper can you believe that? I just keep praying for him and keep my self busy, anyway I have two more teens at home and the brother (2 more years) is thinking in joint the Navy too.

diannep, thank you, you put it all in prospective. Boot camp must build the recruits up but first must break them down and retrain their way of thinking and habits. It is an extremely difficult task, not only for the recruits and family but for the drill team instructors. They are there to prepare our children and loved ones into US Navy Sailors who will represent and defend our country, to save the lives of others, and most importantly to save thier own lives. So as cheer leaders, it is our job to encourage our loved ones and we can only do this by writing letters, everyday with positive and encouraging and funny informaton. Our recruits, our drill team leaders and our country need us to help them form the greatest US Navy Sailors in the world.

Is is hard not to worry and not to cry, not to wish you could pull your loved one out and bring them home, yes, it is hard to still encourage, and yes we will continue to worry, we will continue to be sad and just plain angry. But we have to remember, the greatest cause and that is, Boot camp is only 8 weeks long and millions of men and women before our loved ones made it and became heros and people of honor, committment and courage, we owe it to our loved ones to stay encouraging and uplifting.Remember, this is their dream and we must support their decision. I do not say all of this lighly, because my only son is in boot camp now. After I read his letters yesterday, I went through a melt down and then motherhood kicked in and the encouragement started flowing. So again, thanks a million diannep

Kim
