Received two more letters today. Said this week was Hell week. Up earlier than normal and a lot of inspections. So far all the inspections have went well with
all being Hall of Fame Ranks. That is really good!!! Said they had Marlin Spike(sp?) last week. That is a practice version of Battle Station. He said it went well and was actually fun. Said he has passed PFA, Weapons Inspection and personal inspection. We sent him a couple of picture from our recent vacation.
He said the letter with pictures got opened by the RDC in front of everyone, but luckily they were ok and the RDC even laughed at them. He said anything that looked like pictures got opened by the RDC's in front of everyone. All in all sounds like things are going well. Said he might get another call in a week and that Battle Station is in 2 1/2 weeks. We're getting there!!!
I got another letter today! 3 days in a row! It was just the questionare but he metioned the names of his friends. I messaged it, so its in your inbox on the top right side of this page :)
Hi all:
I finally made it to this Group. LOL. Your comments leave me with tears. I am so glad that we are all in this together. It really does help to have your support.

Sorry about previous comment, computer acting goofy..
Got 2 letters tday :D he's dong good. They can write Tuesdays and Thursdays now, its mandatory, so that means more letters!!! :D He has his PFA and inspection today and needs prayer.
He ordered me the DIV shirt and himself a hoodie, he and his buddy made it woohoo! I can't wait to see it! :D
Thanks exxie, I waw hoping he;ll be the one designing it lol
I can't believe that you have to go trough this situation! I'm fortunate that we got married have a chilbefore even deciding to join the military.
I agree with the moms below me that commented, write him a letter and be straight forward with him about this girl. Maybe he misses her b/c he's in BC and had feelings for her before, or still does to this day, but when they are separated from home they do get homesick. He proabablly does miss her.
But don't be in the middle of this, its to stressful as it is planning PIR weekend. And plus, if she's not mentioned in the for letter, she doesn'thave a ticket, heard its a full gradution this PIR because of the holdays and the recruiters getting everyone in.
Now mail or calls from my son this week:( I had a rough day yesterday.
Snow bound inside by myself yesterday which brought on memories of
hot cocoa and days playing in the snow with my son! Crazy how those memories
come back on days alone! I agree with the Hormone Replacements. I have
had mine changed lately too......stinks to have to deal with all of this at once!:)
