I am unable to send messages on this site (or any other N4Ms site). Someone told me to tell Jessica. How does one contact Jessica?

Willsmom now that you mention the glasses, I can't believe he took them off. I didn't notice because I never see him in glasses cause he worn contacts for years. Lol. Jay & ur SR must've gotten the same language, hahaha.
Rackie thanks for the beautiful and powerful prayer, Amen.

Willsmom & NYRican, you are blessed that your SR's are going to Monterrey. I was born up there and it is a beautiful town! You now have a really good reason to visit :-) I wish Chris was going there, only 5 or so hours North from here. Looks like Chris will either be in GL or VA for his A School. Am I starting to see a pattern? LOL. Take them as far away as possible from their families, ha ha! I still don't know for sure which A School he's going to. He's going to be a CS and the N4M site says it's VA and someone in GL said he's staying there. I wish I knew because that would give me an idea how long we'll see him at the PIR.

I be in agreement with you on that prayer, Rackie! Amen and amen!!! I also want to Praise God for the rain He sent us! We are in severe drought and were blessed with the first real rainfall yesterday of 3 3/10 inches!!!!
Will's A school is also at the Presidio of Monterrey, California, for 18 months! California is just as far from where we live as Chicago is.
NY Rican...can we stop at your house and rest on the way to California? lol...You're blessed in that you are so much closer to where Jay is going to be! Btw...how are his eyes? I was looking in the div pic for a guy with glasses!!! lol He sure is a good looking guy!

Lord Jesus we thank you for all the blessings and your steadfast love in us, we pray for our sailor recruits today. Lord you know our hearts desire to be able to talk to them tomorrow. You make the impossible, possible. Touch the heart of the division 224 RDC to allow them to call us. And Lord God, I pray that they will all pass the final PFT and BS21. I pray that each one of us here and our SRs will have peace that only the Holy Spirit could give..
"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy" Psalm 94:19 (NIV)
I pray this, together with my sisters here, In Jesus name we pray, Amen!
