Merry Christmas everyone! To update Adam finished his A school Oct 30th came home Mid November then had to report to Widby Island, Washington on Nov 26th the day before Thanksgiving so we had Turkey day the Saturday before. He is on the Electronic attack squadron( Zappers) which is assigned to the USS Harry S Truman. He got settled in on base and will be working there till they go to Neveda for training in March. Unless the ship gets called out before. Then to our supprise he got 10 days leave for Christmass! So we have him home till the 28th of Dec. ( Not that he is ever here when he is home LOL) Well I Hope everyone has a blessed Holiday!! Much Love to all! Janeen

Hi All, Well got the keel and its has Div 338 and 339. Why they had old pic of other bootcamp recruits? They could have had our guys insead I agree but what can ya do? Adam is so serious in every pic, he never likes picture! Kellie Adam only has pass and review every third Thursday. And he is also on night classes. 5am call is a pain he said. Take care everyone!

Wow there are a lot of night classes Adam also goes from 3pm to 10:30 pm but he says they usually never get out before 11pm. Gets to sleep in till 9 though. Except for every third Thursday is pass and review in front of officers and its a 5 am wake up call. Yes being able to talk to them and knowing they are doing well is a relief, but this mom still misses her youngest son a lot! God bless to all !

Hi all geesh funny how quiet it is here now, To catch up Adam is doing good, in the third week of A school which says is going well. This week is hands on training glad to be out of the paper work and all the tests. I did get the Video but still no T-Shirts or book. Hope everyone is doing well! Hugs to all

Annette I had ordered the t shirts from home we faxed it a long time ago. Adam ordered the book and dvd when he ordered his Pictures. Well Adam had to have his toenail removed today OUCH ingrown toenail he didn't want to have looked at in boot camp for fear it would put him behind so it got real infected. I had gotten stuff for it after PIR but of course he couldn't take it back to base. Well now at least its taken care of. Good News!!!! His school starts on Monday!!!! No more on hold.
