I'm just realizing how stressed i am! Don't want to go to work, don't want to work when I get there. Why can't they just pay me to be a n4m stalker.
I too will be lighting my candle tonite. Prayers & good wishes for the next round of BS.

Oh gjeez ... newyearsbaby ... I just looked at Jess' post and now I'm a lil' confused. Did my son tell me the wrong date or did I hear him wrong. I wouldn't doubt either one. Since I'm the mom and always right, I'm going to assume Zack told me wrong ...lol. Although, it was probably me that heard wrong.
I have so much on my mind ... all the travel arrangement, working, praying, and stalking this site. Whoever it was that said their ADD was kicking in ... I think I caught it from them.
Well I'm going to believe what Jess said and assume that it's tomorrow. Wow, that's really getting late, huh? He's going to be sleeping through his own graduation. Thanks for that info newyearsbaby!!!! Thanks for lookin' out for me.

Congrats to all of you!!!! Sorry you had to wait longer than usual for your Sailor calls.
My candle will be lighted again tonight!
Denise - yes, I'm the older one on the left!!!! That's my daughter Jessica on the right. She's single now and comes with two great boys - in case any of your single Sailors are curious! I wasn't going to pack any undies - I thought you were bringing me Navy ones??? just kidding!!
Can't believe how happy I've been these last few days!

Congratulations to all the new sailors!!! My recruit is going through the BS-21 tonight (Tuesday), and hopefully his wife will get the call tomorrow as we're all driving to GL! We'll be praying for all the DIVs going through the BS-21 tonight!!!

Denise, I think our guys' BS is tomorrow night. I'm not 100% but some other ladies were saying that's when they believe it is. Just wanted to let you know in case you didn't get a call. Scroll over a few pages and you may see Jess' post.

Oh, forgot to ask ... Sobe, I noticed you have another new picture posted. Yes, I'm assuming again ... is one of these woman you? Is it the woman on the left?

Hi all of you stalkers! Ok, I just got home from work and had to log on to my favorite site and talk to all of my favorite ladies. I told my husband he had to make his own dinner tonight because I needed to get on this site ... lol
Ok Sobe, you're a hoot!! I couldn't stop laughing. You are truly the character .. love it! You're recap was great!
Congrats to all of you that received your call ... I'm so happy for you. My son Zack is doing BS-21 tonight, starting at 8pm. From what tallmama posted, I'm assuming I'll get a call tomorrow morning ... ugh, I can't wait. He had a written test this morning and I've been praying all day. Now it looks like I'll be praying all night too.
Redwheat, I guess yours and mine are both doing BS tonight. I'm confident they'll do well. By tomorrow morning, we too will be able to remove our cell phones from our bras.
I'm going to start packing tonight. Sobe, I read that you're a last minute packer ... just make sure you get those undies packed.

David was on the phone with his dad when I got home. He's a sailor! I'm glad he was able to share his experience with him first. His dad then passed the phone to me. He was tired but pleased to have made it through. And, I'm with Tallmama in wanting to thank the RDCs for all that they do. They turned our civilians into Sailors. A big Hoo Yah! to them.
