SHIP 03/DIV 152

Hi there!

  This group is for everyone that has a SR in SHIP 03/DIV152.

(PIR 4/29/11)  I tried creating this group under BOOT CAMP but

I think it got lost.  I think people look here more often!  I know that

I love to see the "countdown" clock!

     I can't believe anyone would go through this experience

without N4Ms!!!  What a great source of information and support!!!

    I did too! Same ship and division and 30 minutes as well. It was so nice to hear her voice and be reassured by her that everything is ok. The 30 minutes seemed like it flew by but I just can't say enough how nice it was to be able to talk to her.

I also got a call last evening ship3 and div152.Talked to her for 30mins.It felt so good hearing from her. She had a good attitude also.She knows working together to get things done is a must. She got 4 wisdom teeth out that slowed her down for a couple of days. She is not worried about not being able to do what needs to be done.Very up beat about it. Strong will power to move on so she can graduate on time.

Sounds like our girls are rocking it!! I hope the guys get to call soon so Swim4life gets to hear her SRs voice :-)

Kathy, you're too sweet!

  but I told my SR if he gets a call, to call his gf, not me!  She's headed to school in Hawaii next week, a whole new adventure for both of them.  She has been a big support to him.  I would be happy with another short letter!

   :)  My place is secure.  I know my son loves me...

I heard from my son yesterday also, he sounded tired but in good spirits. I was nice to hear his voice again, I just can't wait untill graduation so I could see him again.

PC Mom,

  aren't you in AL?  Drive up to Memphis and I'll buy you lunch!  :)

  We'll get through this together, and we'll all be stronger for it.  I keep thinking this is boot camp for me

as well as my son.  What am I going to do when he's out in the middle of the ocean and I don't hear from

him for weeks at a time, if i can't get through this???  So hard to let go!   hugs,

It's phone call time again for our Div!!!!  I didn't have my cell on me,so she ate up 30mins on a missed call and then only had 15 to talk to me on the home phone ;-(  I was glad she called today, as I am traveling all day tomorrow for work and I was afraid I wouldn't get her call.

 

I have gotten so used to no news is good news, the first thing I say is This is a good call right, you aren't hurt or anything :-)

soooo glad you got the call!  I hope she sounded good, Kathy!

  Say, do you guys want to figure out a colored scarf to wear for graduation so our SRs can spot us

easier??

  I wish someone would post a note on colors already taken by other divisions so we could figure out

what to do.  It would be easier to spot each other, and for our sailors to spot us right after graduation.

  ANY IDEAS??????
