Hello all! Hope everyone's kids are doing well. Mine is in San Diego doing FMTB training. He loves the warm weather and ocean!
Just wanted to put this out here cause I know several of you live in and around the Chicago area. There are two girls who were injured during boot camp and currently at the VA hospital in Great Lakes. Their families live out of town (one in Alaska) and are trying to find people to visit them while they are in the hospital and during physical therapy until they can get in boot camp. One of them has a broken tibia. If anyone is interested let me know or send me a friend request.

I agree - I have seen so many changes in my son already. I think the Navy gives them more focus and structure...afterall this is what they are going to be doing whether they like it or not. So the ones that "get it" want to do their best and really push themselves to do so.

What is ear squeeze? My son is in Goose Creek. He will finish A school in July and then come home for 10 days. I am lucky enough to have relatives near Goosed Creek and have been here visiting for a couple of weeks. It is not easy, he has to study sooooo much. New concept for him! Thanks to the Navy there are alot of new concepts in his brain now! After that he will go back to Goose Creek for power school and then .....SUB Duty! That is going to be hard on this momma!

Wow look at all of us. Our kids are growing up lol! I switched my user name from Lewismom to this new one. Congrats to everyone whose kids have graduated. Dans mom I think are boys must be together at Great Lakes. He picked his orders last week and it looks like San Diego for more training and then Washington for the next year. I am spoiled with him so close that I haven't had to adjust yet to not seeing him yet. I guess my time will come in another 5 or 8 weeks and Kym I will probably experience that expensive airfare at some point during the next year when I go out and visit him.

rlb- you could have been like me. I am sitting there waiting for things to start...look at my camera and go "oh no I forgot to get our memory card out of the digital picture frame" So could only put a few pictures on the camera's memory and most turned out to dark!

Thankx :) I have a REALLY terrible camera so most didn't turn out. I'm happy for a few :)
