Comment by grumsmom on May 15, 2010 at 9:52pm: How great for your guys in recruit heaven, Taco Bell how did they swing that? I so hope my son and his division have gotten some kind of reward today but I doubt it. Those boys have not been able to catch a break yet. Just five more days is right.
Tammysue, I'm glad you got to talk to you daughter today. Hopefully she is getting some much needed rest.

Comment by Jeannie (ET) on May 15, 2010 at 9:27pm: Maggie - where did you get the information about captains cup? Sounds like it was a good day for all them. My son has battlestations on Tuesday can't wait for next Friday to get here.

Comment by Cornerstone Mom on May 15, 2010 at 9:09pm: I will keep Bailey in my prayers also, TammySue.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 15, 2010 at 1:58pm: Thank you Jess's Mom for the update. I hope they get the Capt.'s Cup. Hey, dreams are a powerful phenomenon....TammySue, your daughter is going to do great. "We shall overcome"... powerful phrase. With her division behind her and all the prayers, she will succeed. We will all be running with her on Monday and supporting her to the finish line... she will gather strength from above thru all our love and support and prayers... please keep us updated... can't wait to celebrate her success too... Hoo..rah!!!

Comment by grumsmom on May 15, 2010 at 1:56pm: I had no idea what the captain's cup was when my son was talking about it. I'm glad to know now, I'm sure they will all do great.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 15, 2010 at 1:48pm: Afternoon ladies. Our SR's and competing in the Captain's Cup right now. How exciting. I am told that it is like the olympics with each division competing against one another in events that pertain to their training. My daughter said she is doing a fire fighting competition. Good thing she has been a v olunteer firefighter for about 2 years. I hope they all have a great time competing.

Tammysue, I had a dream last night that your daughter ran on Monday, passed and did an excellent job in battlestations. I will keep praying for quick recovery.

Comment by JasonM'sGirl (Ship 14 Div 189) on May 15, 2010 at 12:26pm: I will be praying and thinking of you both as well. She is strong and will make it through this! Please please please keep us updated!

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 15, 2010 at 12:24am: Sara! I'm so happy for you! I was so worried about you yesterday! Yay! You have a happy Sailor! Congratulations :)

Comment by momof8 on May 14, 2010 at 9:11pm: Tammy Sue~ A quick story to encourage you...when I met some N4M's here a few weeks ago, I heard the coolest story about a gal's daughter who was consistently 2 minutes short of the required time on the run. She failed the end-of-week run (by 2 minutes) and they decided to let her try again on Monday because they saw persistence in her. On that Monday, one of her RDC's ran the whole race with her, encouraging her and pacing her. When they were close to the finish, he thought she had it so he ran ahead. Then, as she approached the finish he could see she had slowed and was in danger of not making time. He sprinted out to her and got her to pick it up the rest of the way and she made it by seconds!
I know your daughter is sick, but a few days rest may be just enough to give her those seconds and we'll pray that she has an RDC like that!
