Hi Ladies!
My brother was medicated after he had his wisdom teeth pulled if that makes you feel better. Also they have a name for all the sickness that goes around its called Ricky Crudd. It happens to almost every division. They are sleep deprived,hormones all out of whack, there immune system goes down. They are building them up to be sailors...if they are sick they do get checked out. They are taken care of from what I have researched. I agree with "what doesnt kill you makes you stronger" Actually wrote that quote to my brother in a letter a little while ago!

I went on chat last night, thats a great way to get very fast answers. I thought I read somewhere that they only got mail on Sunday and to mail on Thursdays and I didn't think that was right. On chat they told me they get the mail durning the week several times, that they might have time to write on Sundays.

I feel for him because when I had my wisdom teath out it was one at a time. But they tell you soup, jello stuff like that and when he's being worked hard. I hope he can afford to loose a couple. But from the picture he doesnt look like he can or a wimp

My whole family is very healthy and my husband got this bug when we where on out trip, and its been from the 3rd. and I was worried he wasn't shaking it. He told me others that are getting it still have it to. I cant imagine what that would be like in close quarters like that
In quarters like that in the winter his allergy might be better we can hope, no carpet or animals. But all the other items the closeness and the flu season is scary for anyone. I thought there was a lot of food but they have a short time to eat. That is my impression from what I have read not first hand knowledge

We don't really use any drugs, but I cant imagine getting two wisdom teeth out and do what you have to do in boot camp. In general I use all natural products to prevent. I hope they give them something in boot camp, this virus that is going around is lasting forever.

Thanks for the video links, makes me tear up again.
Comment by April M on February 21, 2010 at 12:21am
Ouch, did I read in the blog that your son had two wisdom teeth out. I hope they have him a bunch of drugs. But I know they want him to do everything like nothing happened. My son tim is in the same div. 133 . I told him the ones mouthing off are doing it it get kick out. Even though they think they are tough,but not tough enough. Its too bad every one in the division gets punished. I sent my son a bunch of jokes and puzzles, because Tim says you cant even talk. Knowing my son he is trying to compensate for the trouble makers. If you need anything let me know.

Hi ladies! Got a really cool book today called Honor, Courage and Commitment. It is a book all about boot camp. It is actual recruits telling there story during boot camp....it was written in 2000. I will let everyone know if it is a good book!
