Ahhh, the kid in the box!!  So hard.  I remember in our bootcamp group on here we were all wondering why one pant leg was rolled up.  It's only been a year and a half since Jamie graduated, but it seems like a lifetime ago!  And I don't know, but I think having a girl go in would be harder.  Jamie was bad enough and we talked all the time.  I try not to stalk his FB too much, but he'll always ask me if I have seen the pictures (usually with a grin and giggle because he's either intoxicated or doing something outrageous.)

Yes Pam I have all the letters also Stephen has them packed away, very cool.  Oh, remember the box that came from boot camp OMG that was the worse.

Definately yea for you Debbie!  What a wonderful gift this year for you and your family!  Bootcamp was so brutal!!!  I didn't write every day, but I did at least twice a week.  Jamie saved all his letters and brought them home and they are now stored away in his bedroom closet.

I love skype, I love that your get to see them, I don't just want to hear a voice. LOL  Boot Camp was very had but I wrote everyday and so did my whole family and it was over before you know it and now my son has less then a year to go to have all four years in that is what is hard to believe.

How is everyone doing?  Getting set for Christmas?  It is going to be so nice to have my son home for Christmas, yea for me!!!

Pam..I worked from home today and got to skype with Rachel for well over an hour. I don't no what I would do without it.  Bootcamp was so hard.  I wrote her everyday.  I'm glad she is making lots of friends.  As you can tell by her pictures, she is having a good time as well.

I can't even imagine the world without skype now.  My husband was in the Army 25 years ago and he was lucky to get a letter every now and then from home.  He spent an entire year in Korea with hardly anything from his family..  My in-law's were awful about care boxes and letters.

Teri - I seen some of the pictures on Jamie's Facebook last night.  All I have to say is he has always been a little on the wild side!

I'm going to miss my son this Christmas, but if I were in his shoes, I would go to Hungary too!  I keep telling me travel while you can..  Safe travels to our kids!

Hi Pam , our kids are going to Budapest for Christmas! Rachel is so excited. We are making a skype date so she can open her presents before they leave. Hope she gets them in time. There is a bunch of new pictures on fb of the concert and a palace they visited. She said Jamie is fun to hang out with. So glad they are having fun. I'll be putting up the tree and baking cookies this weekend...HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND NAVY MOMS

Well, I sent off three of the flat rate FPO boxes for Jamie's Christmas today.  I had eveything in one box but after I read the guidelines about shipping packages to FPO's, I thought it better to use the FPO boxes.  Apparently if a box is overly large, it will be shipped over via a ship and not an airplane.  I think that's what might have happened with his birthday package - which he still hasn't gotten!  Maybe they'll all come at once!

Have a great weekend everyone!
