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

Shared this on the Boot Camp Mom's forum and wanted to share here too --- was having a rough couple of days at Christmas and decided to put my feelings into video. The link to the video is on my profile in the About Me section ...

No letters or calls today and I won't get anything until like Thursday-Friday cause I had to go out of town for work. :-( Okay so I have officially become a mail person stalker. I was suppose to leave at 1430 (trying to get use to military time) but I sat around until 1600 and waited for my mail person in the hopes that I might get a letter. I even called the 1-800 number to see if anything happened to her. :-/ I know it's sad. I just couldn't make myself leave because I couldn't stand the thought that if a letter came it would be sitting in the mailbox until Thursday night. So my mind is semi at ease. My mail is on hold and I have been reading everyone's updates and that gives me some piece of mind. Thank you everyone for sharing.

Cin When I spoke to my son On Christmas he told me not send insoles that he requested because he was going to buy some there that day. I told them I had not sent them because I had not received one letter from him,much less the one requesting the insoles. If you send them in a large brown envelope it should be fine, I have sent him several large flat envelopes/packages and he did not report any problems he is getting for it. I try not to send one to often though
