Craig- You always know how to put things into perspective.  LOL.  I am just going to chalk it up to being tired and having to write really fast.  The other two were the B word (Not loving living with 90 girls, and the H word.  To descride next week.  But since that is what it called, I won't hold that one against her.

Ruth - As long as she doesn't end up looking like this, then you'll be fine....  

Remember, sometimes those words kind of slip through sometimes when talking to a mom.  For all others, the Dr. Seuss way of thinking kind of overides everything...

Man, you can really teach your students new Navy terminology.  So far you've cancelled the following:

well-endowed

F-bomb

What's were the other two words so I can add them to the list?  

Remember, she'll learn to filter those words when talking to you.  Just like me, I never cursed in front of my kids, it was only a work thing.  These recruits still are learning everything and they haven't learned how to put the filter on when talking to someone.  I think you need to tell her that if she ever uses those words to you again, then she's F'd....

If you could see her face, it would look like this:

Well Craig..........Not proud, but my blonde haired, blue eyed, precious baby girl did use that one once.  The others were not as bad.  She said when the DIV got to call, she was on duty and was basically F...... I just was surprised she didn't edit her self in the letter.  He father of course laughed hysterically and said "She really has gotten a sailors mouth".

Natalies mom- The tweezers are on every girls must have luck  Mine is luck fo not have much IT but misses working out on a regular basis.  That surprised me.

I also got 2 letters from mu SR. now waiting for my husband to get home from workso he can read the letter she sent him. My daughter has also brought up missing her tweezers as well in her letters. She sounds good to me in her letters &keeping her faith in God which is very important. She did say her division is getting I.T. Alot, but getting through it

Of course, she probably dropped the "F" bomb for those 3 words huh?

That's a true sailor word that can mean almost anything.

All sailors learns the Navy way of speaking.  They might not use the words themselves, but they will know the way to interpret those words.  They will have the full meaning.  Either way you say it, they will know....

Fireteam-Too funny.  Not happy about the cursing though.  She just threw it out there like it was not big deal.  3 TIMES!

Oh...weekends do not count in the "days".

HA,HA,HA,HA...Craig will have something to say about the cursing...it's kinda hard not to when it's used as a noun, adjective, verb, conjunction etc. all the time! My son still however, does not curse, drink, smoke or talk dirty...so you can imagine what he goes through. Amen to him...mom can have Sailor mouth at times! Sorry!

Veteran Moms and craig- On Nov 14 my SR was on Week 2, DAy 2.  I believe on Nov 18 she was on Week 3 DAy 1.  Do weekends count? She also said Thanksgiving week would not be bad but the next week would be "Bootcamp Hell Week" but after that it would be the home stretch.  Any insight.  Also my child now curses in her letters???????? 

 

diannep-She has been complaining about the lack of tweezers since her first letter.
