This is the final test for your recruits. When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

Got my phone call too! I was in the middle of talking about him to my mom when it came in. My heart surprisingly didn't stop, I answered the phone and said "WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT YOU!" He replied with "I didn't do it!" He sounds so great, but his voice seems like it's changing? He said not sick so Idk, maybe it's just been that long lol. He said boot camp sucks but if you do what your told your good. Everyone in the division failed Inspection, and he failed his physical but knew before he even did it that he was going to. He signed up for the Navy and left 2 weeks later and didn't have much time to work out in between. He's thin and muscular but was out of shape big time. He said he didn't fail by much and now that their doing PT 5 times a week he feels much more confident. He passed his academic test with flying colors and was very proud of himself for that! Said that he receives mail every night and can ship mail on Sundays. Lol, he told me to send pictures but nothing X-Rated. (Not like I did or was going to anyway) but it was quite funny! So happy! :)
Last but not least, I kept asking if he needed me to send him anything and he said no that they have everything here for him and the only think that was missing was me. :) He's so cute. :) All in all a very good conversation, no crying from me either! :) Great way to start my weekend!
