Hey Pinky's Mom...so GOOD you heard from Sara. I heard from my son Aagon on sunday too...it was FANTASTIC! He sounded so up beat as well. He said he is actually enjoying this hell week (as its called). He said they work sun up to sun down and the days are just flying by?!? So glad Sara has some GF's. And congrats on her tests! Its so wonderful to hear them excited..huh?
I believe the Meet & Greet is generally at the Ramada Inn. Although I am staying at the Marriott Residence in. I WILL be there. Can't wait to meet some of you. Not sure I could have made it these last few weeks without the support here. THANKS everyone..hope to meet you!

I got a 28 min call from Sara Sunday...that was a week and a half since her last call...still no letters, but I did send her one of the questionaires from the site. Maybe the laughter from the questions will help her break through the tears that keep her from writing. She sounded so excited "25 more days" was her chant on the phone. She is doing really well on her tests & has made friends with a couple of girls...she said their personalities are similar to her BGFs here at home. That is comfort to me, since I think of her BGFs like my own daughters.
Oh yeah, when and where is our Meet & Greet? I can't wait to put faces to our group.

Megan's Mom, Aaron said that they are sooooooooooo busy this week (hell week) that time has been flying by. I HOPE that is true for them all. ;-)

ohhhhhhhhhh sorry to hear you didn't hear from her Megan's Mom. My son said the girls are doing alot better. Said for some reason, a few of them still fight and cause the other girls a bit of extra work, like PT and stuff but he said they have come a really long way. He said in his division, one guy is still a hold out..whatever that means. HA! I can tell you though..one Sunday, Aaron did NOT get a call as he was working so perhaps thats the case too? I just know he said they are ALL doing great and hearing other Mom's say that as well so..it appears they are doing good. Keep your chin up. Oh and my letters aren't real FULL either but he too is writing them. To me, my daughter, my sister and my parents. Its funny, they are all brief and say the same thing. At least they are writing. I am not sure how much time they really give them to write? Anyhow...PIR is cominggggggggggggg! Can't wait!

YEAHHHHHHHHHHhh ..I heard from mine as well yesterday. He said they are ALL doing real well. He said this week has been 'Hell' and he described it to me...up at 4..bed at 9 but he said the time is FLYING by..ha! Gosh I miss him. He said he is for sure Grab and Go..he said they all are because the DS's get Thanksgiving off or something like that. He said he's glad he is G&G versus sitting around there waiting to begin the next step (Nuke School in Charleston, SC). He told me he gets TWO weeks off at Xmas..woohooooooooo!!!!!!! Can't wait! PIR here we come babe!
