OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Some friends and I have started a group on facebook that is private. You can come to our group and we will be there to answer questions when you need us and you can post comments and meet other friends there who also have recruits at bootcamp. I am trying to figure out if you have to be a facebook friend of mine in order to join the group. So if anyone would like to join this group whether you have a recruit in bootcamp or you are a mom who has been through it already and would to help let me know. try this link and see if it will let you request to join. If not let me know on here and I will add you as a friend on facebook to get you into the group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/327167160695549/ I hope it works :-) You just have to promise to come to this page daily and post comments and let others know how you are doing ;-)

Comment by ReneeBC on June 7, 2012 at 9:46pm: Smokie,

Thanks! He's very quiet, but when the opportunity arises, he's quite funny. (He does impersonations of past presidents, even FDR and JFK. As for those in recent memory or the last 20 yrs, my son is an equal opportunity offender!)

How are you? Did you get a letter from A. this week? You haven't been on much this week and I was thinking abt you.

Comment by smokie (ship12 Div 203) on June 7, 2012 at 9:43pm: mareluc, We are getting closer. Glad you got a letter. They are tough. They will be so proud when they become sailors. Then they can look back at BC. Now you can sleep good tonight

Comment by smokie (ship12 Div 203) on June 7, 2012 at 9:36pm: ReneeBc , Great list. He sounds like he has a good sense of humor that will get you thru anything even BC. Be proud he is strong

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on June 7, 2012 at 9:29pm: Ok ladies......after 5 weeks and 2 horrible letters, today I got a positive letter from my son!!!! I was so happy to hear that he is doing well and enjoying himself!! He was even joking about how he fell asleep in class for 20 seconds and got IT'd by himself for 30 minutes!! I love it!!! It made my whole week. YEAH! I am so happy!!!!

Comment by smokie (ship12 Div 203) on June 7, 2012 at 9:27pm: raeveness, Thanks for the info from your daughter. My son graduates also 6/29. Any info I get helps. Happy you got letters and hope we all get calls. Be proud and strong

Comment by mareluc(Ship11/Div196/PIR 6/29) on June 7, 2012 at 9:26pm: Lala - I will keep your mom and dad in my prayers.....you and your family too!

Comment by diannep on June 7, 2012 at 9:00pm: Lala: Will do....your plate is full with your parents' situation, for sure. I know the feeling...on our knees for all of our parents!

Comment by ReneeBC on June 7, 2012 at 7:38pm: Lala,

You have your hands full, but I bet your parents are so grateful for such a wonderful, caring daughter. It is a blessing that you are able to care for your folks. I am familiar with INR cks (my dad). It can be hard to manage diabeties and other meds, though remission is such a gift. (I look for those silver linings wherever I can see 'em!) You can count on prayers from this neck of the woods!
