Hi I am new here and was hoping to interact with others. My son left 2/7/11. I still have not spoke to him. I am praying he is ok and adjusting to bootcamp.

I had to laugh,Ragdollrae! We've decided the Navy didn't cure our daughter of her messiness either!
On a positive note, she graduated from HM A-school on July 30th in the last class from Great Lakes NHCS. She opted to not to go to C-school and take a duty station first. She wanted to work in a hospital for a while before she decided to specialize. So, we're leaving tomorrow morning on a 2 day road trip to drive her and her car to NAS Whidbey Island in Washington. Leave sure went by fast!
Hello ladies, My son also graduated from A school in San Antonio as a Hospital Corpsman. He is currently home and enjoying spending time with his friends and his family. Suprisingly, we have had the chance to visit with him more than I thought. He has been helping out the Recruiter this week. He attended my 13 yr old Civil Air Patrol meeting and was pretty excited to recruit E2. While he has been home we were able to get his uniforms cleaned and rehemmed. They were way too long. He ruined the bottoms of his dress blues. He heads back to San Antonio on Monday and will be starting C School at the end of August. He is pursuing a path in Behavioral health. I hope he likes it. My husband and I will be heading to SA in September for a business trip. I am thrilled that I will be able to visit with Chris during that time. We are hoping that he will be able to head to Disney at Thanksgiving to join us on a family vacation.
Glad to hear that everyone is doing well. It seems like ages ago that we were all waiting on edge for our weekly letters. Enjoy the remainder of your summer.
Hi Ladies! Just popped on to the site...and saw you were all talking~sometimes I really miss that...running home after to work to see how everyone is doing. My son is going through ATT (graduated BESS about 6 weeks ago) in Groton. Still just lovin it. Hoping to see him at Christmas (last time we saw him was 4/8)...he is in CT and we are in CA. Glad you are all well and that the Sailors are well too!!
Hello fellow alumnist...
Just checking in. My son finished A school training and is officially a Hospital Corpsman now. He is home through July 30th and will start his C school for Surgery Tech in August once they class up. I heard it should be the end of August. It is different having him home. The first day he woke up and immediately made his bed. He saw my eyebrows raise and said, "Can't help it. It is what I do now." Well, since then, the bed hasn't been made once! He has slipped right back into his lazy - "I'll get to it later." mentality. I am ready to shoot him!! He has made such a mess! I thought that this would be better?? Can they regress that quickly? I am so proud of him for his accomplishments, I guess I can't have the moon and the stars at once. :0)
Hope everyone is well. Miss chatting with you all.
