Moms..are we going to be able to leave cell phones with our Sailors when we leave? or do we have to mail them when they get the ok at A school? It would make life easier if we could have contact. agree?

dubbie, You sure can bring in a cushion. They are hard but I think I was so excited that I didn't notice how bad it was and I got there by 6:30 am.
About Pictures - Your recruit has to order them. My Mom and I both wanted pictures so we told my son to make sure almost two of everything. That included two keels and two DVD's. I guess he was afraid to mess it up because it cost 450 but we did get some great frames with the navy emblem on them. I think the normal package the recruits order is around 150. It comes out of their pay but my Mom and I paid him back.

Ramona, I might have been okay with it if he was still in elementary. But, middle school here is a whole different thing.

That would really be terrible if they hold it from him because of that, Hearingasailor.

Oh gosh, People are getting Honor Recruit letters today? I know my husband was tied with a girl in his division, and now I'm scared they didn't give it to him because the RDC's are mad about me posting about the Div. 166 being held back letter...I really hope I didn't cost him that award. ;(
