Comment by cocojazz on April 3, 2011 at 10:26pm: Please pray ~~ My son is in Battlestations right now... had a 103 fever the other day and was feeling miserable.

Comment by Mama C (PS E-Class 1202-1) on April 2, 2011 at 1:25pm: Ash's Mom - I hope he gets to go to the service. I'd love to hear great things. For all the stuff he talked about in his letter, those young men and women really need Jesus to be present in their lives, especially right now. He said there's lots of swearing and things and he just didn't grow up that way. Not that he didn't hear it, but it has to be hard. I'm praying he tries it and that he will be that light that he knows he can be. Thanks for the encouragement. I needed it today.

Comment by Ash's Mom (Ship 7, DIV 105) on April 2, 2011 at 10:40am: Mama C Ship 12/Div 168

My daughter graduated boot camp 3/18/11, She was the Lead/Lead Religious Petty Office as her job while she was in basic. She had to go make sure everything was set up at the chapel and everything went well on Sunday. She said the Contemporary Service was awesome. She was really moved by their services. She said it was just a really awsome sight to see all the recruits there worshipping and praising God, No agendas - just God. See, the chapel is all recruit ran, so they have "ownership" in it and lots of pride. Ashlie got to take us back to the chapel on the Friday night before she left for A school. The recruits were in there cleaning, and taking care of everything. I was so moved by the loving spirit in that place. It really brought tears to my eyes. All those young men and women were proud to be there doing their part, and all had such a sweet, loving spirit. It was a awsome experience. My daughter just walked around in the chapel like she knew her life had been touched there, and like she didn't want to leave it behind. I pray your son does well - I'm sure he will, and I hope this makes you feel some better... there is an awsome place for him to worship and praise God!

Comment by Mama C (PS E-Class 1202-1) on April 2, 2011 at 10:06am: Good Morning to all here! I'm new to this site, but not new to N4M's. I have a son currently at BC with a PIR date 05/13. I got his first "real" letter this past week - he got to BC 03/16. So far so good, but I'm continuing to pray that he connects with other guys that have the same faith beliefs that he does. This has been my prayer, that B stays strong in his faith and that he can be the light that shines the life of Jesus. I've asked him if he has attended the Contemporary Christian chapel, but I think this might be his first week to be able to do that, and I think our letters may have crossed in the mail. He may not have gotten it yet to answer.

Hoping to get to know many of you on this site. BTW - I live in Indiana
