Ladies, I hope you get your calls soon. Mine came in at about 3:05 EST time yesterday. I am trying to finish packing as I have a very LONG flight to Chicago tomorrow. I leave first thing in the morning and get to Chicago late tomorrow night! Can't wait to see our SAILORS!!!
So....looks like it has been a bit "stressful" on the board here today....hmmm....wonder why? :-) And YES, it is true that it is just like that for each group waiting for "THE CALL"...I was actually shaking when my son called after his BattleStations a year ago. But a GREAT feeling when he said those words (which I had to ask him to say!).
So, congrats to 85 and 86! Wondering now....did 805 and 913 go with them?
got the call!!!! she sounded tired but relieved. She sounds strong...over 100 push ups in 2 minutes. Geez....guess she built some muscle. i am going home to celebrate!!! congrats to all of us for raising such good kids.
Yea!!!! I got my call. We are talking right now. His dad is here and we have him on speaker phone. He is talking about how much fun BS was. Yes, they all are eating candy. He can talk for 45 min. He sounds great!!! Tired. The capping ceremony was emotional he says. He says everyone graduating has liberty on Monday due to the holiday. I will add more when we hang up
We are in the hotel room at the airport--ready to fly out tomorrow for Great Lakes for PIR!! Soooooo excited ! Look forward to meeting you all at the Meet and Great @ the Ramada----GO NAVY!
Julie067~I think your daughter and my son were using the same phone. His dad couldn't hear him very well. Oh if there was candy I am sure my son was RIGHT there!!! He can't wait for PIR and seeing everyone. Wishes it was NOW! Did however say the RDC's were being "Tough" on them more so now than before. I think they want them to know they are still in charge!
Glad everyone is getting calls it was tough hanging on but we did it!!!
Just finished talking to my son!!! Hes a Sailor...he said everyone in his DIV passed..He sounded very happy and tired...also said he cant wait to see us!! im so happy!!
Sorry ladies, got my call with my girl earlier this evening,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have a Sailor!!!!! The call was for 35 minutes, she sounds tired but great!!! Can't wait for long soak bath and pedicure!!!
usapaula -- my son was excited about pizza, too! He said div 913 got the highest score in battlestations! woo hoo Then he said they got 'beat' cause they were falling asleep afterward! We got to talk about 45 minutes, and then he got off cause he said he didn't want to miss the pizza. Congratulations to everyone's sailor!!!
@ Nancy - yes, you can rent a storage locker just off base. If you email them they'll send a card good for $10 off a month. Look around the boot camp mom's site..I just got home from work after talking to my SAILOR for 40 min at work, and the troops here are starving! lol I think it's Lock & Go or similar...google it
Can someone help me PLEASE!... Due to the fact that I have been going through chemo treatments this whole botcamp experience, I have misplaced the letter with the password in an effort to keep it safe....duh!...can someone please private message me the password, my son is in ship 03, div 80.....you would be saving my old chemo brain...thanks, ladies...can't wait to meet you all at PIR....GO NAVY!
Im so excited I get to see my babygirl in 2 days... I want to hug her an kiss her sooo bad, She left with a wght of 92 lb now she said mom I wght 112, I was like wow.. She said laugh an said all muscle mama... I miss you soo much my beautiful greek goddess.. I want to say yaaaaaa to all the mothers that got their call an blessings to all, please have a safe trip an safe drive there I will be seeing you there.. with my pink an purple scarf* pink for n4m and purple for her favorite color.
Just got off an hour long phone call with our "Sailor" again today!!!! It's so good to hear from him again two days in a row, and today he's rested and very full of conversation.
Chicago is a beautiful town and the weather is going to be pretty good, maybe make the best of it and see the town. Then immediately plan a trip to wherever your son will be going to school. I'm so sorry you are disappointed.
Congratulations to all of you!! You did a fantastic job raising all this SAILORS!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are all together...eating pizza tonite...dead tired,,,, but so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been and it is a tremendous journey with them and with all of us!!!
Had a wonderful conversation with my SAILOR as he was eating his pizza this afternoon - and he was looking forward to seeing us and going to bed early tonight -- can't wait until Friday morning!!!
itsmewendee: Can you get time at the airport with him early Sat. morning? Unless he flies out in the wee hours, many go out there to meet them. A little more time with him then...including possible military gate pass to see him off there.
Well I found out that my husband's best friend can't make it to PIR. He didn't get th permission to take leave (hes in the army) :( i feel bad for my husband, they haven't seen each other in a yr or 2 because he went to the army and my husband and i got married and started our lives together.
So it's just going to be me and our daughter. So there will be at least 3 extra spaces for guests to come
Congratulations to our new Sailors!!! i have a ? We are a total of 8 people going to PIR does anyone know if theres any chance that all of us can go in..he signed 4 of us and 1 child, has anyone heard if they do let them in of course if their is seating available..or should the rest just wait in the hotel?
itsmewendee-I'm so sorry your son is GNG. That is unfair. My son is going to Pensacola also, but doesn't fly out until Wed. I believe he said. I wonder why the div. are different. You would think they would at least let him have a couple days with his family. There was awhile I thought my son might be GNG. I kinda thought what's the sense in going to PIR?, but a short while with him and being there for graduation is better than nothing. I know with the economy the way it is and the cost of this trip, I won't be seeing my son for a long time. He told me yesterday he would'nt get home until probably the end of this year or later. I wish you the best!!! Stay positive. Hugs to you.
