Camp Pendleton Corpsmen Moms

I am surpised about the muster length as well!! My bf was texting for a bit last night when he was doing laundry. Then stopped... my guess he fell asleep for a bit and then had to muster again.... of course. and now it is a little passed the time that he usually texts me... so i am hoping that they didn't get in trouble or anything. I am sure they are just really busy and getting put through the ringer... hope all is going well with all of you!

Jesspoo5...i haven't heard from my bf all day today which is a little nerve wrecking but i'm guessing they had a long day today and it might still be going...

It's only been 3 weeks since he left again and it feels like SO much longer! These 2 months and a half couldn't go by faster!

The latest text message from my son.....Week 1 FMBT Secure.  Gotta keep 'em short and sweet!

Yep my bf is currently in the night study right now. Excited for the start of week 2 but it feels like he's been gone for a lot longer!

Good luck to everyone who has their sailors taking test 1 tomorrow!!

joan- hope all is well with your surgery! hope you have a speedy recovery!

JLC- i will keep you and everyone else updated when i can as well! i like coming on here and talking with people going through the same things! helps keep me a little more sane from the worrying!! 

sorry to all of you moms that feel like you are being left in the dust, so to speak, from the GF's. being the gf i can't say what it is like for you all. i am sure one day i will know if i have a son. although it may be hard sometimes i know that 99.9% of the time your sons def still know who to call when they want to talk/share/complain/brag too and that is their moms!! you will always be their begining rock on solid ground!!!

my bf texted me tonight. i was wondering why i hadnt heard much from him. didn't seem like him not to text me as much as he usually does. i was a little worried.... guess his cell phone wall charger broke. which explains it. he has a car charger when he can get to it. thank goodness!! anyways not sure if you have heard from your loved ones but my bf got a 98 on the first test!!!!! yyyooooohhhhhhoooooooo!!! since i didn't get to talk to him much i saw that he posted on facebook that he thought he had failed!!!!!????? thank goodness he didnt!! he needs to pass his tests so he can phase up and come off of base!! but since he wont be on his phone much i will have to rely on some of you to get more info.. so thanks!!!

joan- glad you're doing alright!

to everyone else! sounds like we have some really smart guys in this class! great job to all of you!! i am sure you are as proud as i am of your loved one!!!

another night passes and i sadly didn't get a text tonight, any one eles hear from theirs?

my bf's phone charger broke so i hear even less from him right now... makes me sad! he has his car charger so if and when he can get to his car he could charge it. but not sure when that would be. prob only on the weekends. anyways hope all is going well with all of you!! almost half way through week 2!!

My son was the same as JudyB's.  The first couple of weeks was rough, but then they start having fun with it.  A lot depends on the instructors.  My son really liked his instructor, so that made it much easier for him mentally.  You won't hear too much from them until they start getting nighttime/weekend liberty.  They are exhausted!  Unfortunately, that is one way to "teach" them the stress of the battlefield.  Sleep deprivation is used as a training tool.  But they'll survive and they will see how strong they really can be!!  In fact, I got so used to sending care packages when my son was in A School that it just about drove me nuts that he said absolutely no packages while he was in FMTB.  I did, however, send him a box for his birthday.  What a way to ring in your 21st!! 

I'll be thinking about all of them.  I know it's rough, but once again, just like bootcamp, you will be amazed at the transformation that happens.  Talk about being buff!!  My son came home with huge muscles!!  In fact, now that he's at his duty station he has kept up the routine and hits the gym every day. 

Good luck to all!!

got a text from my bf tonight. just what i needed to hear!! all it said was "i love you and always thinking of you". i was/am sooo happy to hear from him! as it goes for most everyone, i am in love with my best friend so i know you all know how hard it is when you can't talk to them!!! so yesterday i wrote him a message on facebook that he could read whenever. not srue if he has read it or not. prob has with a text like that. but if he didn't read it yet and still sent that text it is even sweeter!! over half done with this week now!! yay! hopefully will get to talk to him on the weekend!!

thanks to everyone on here that keeps us all sane... well as much as can be!!

Just another reason for me to hit the gym then huh! lol I remember my bf's seabags when he came home from a school and he wanted me to carry them...I couldn't even lift it an inch off the floor!

I was able to skype with him Tuesday for awhile until he had to go muster so that was nice and hopefully we can do it again this weekend :)

Hope everyone is having a good week! It's almost over...it actually went by pretty fast for me!!

i have too been working out a little since he has been gone. of course no where near as much as they are working.

i am glad you got to skype with him!! mine sadly left his comp at my apt. i hope you get to talk to him more this weekend. i hope we all get to talk to them more this weekend. didnt hear anything tonight so far.

my week has gone by pretty quick too actually! alot faster then last week!!! just hope the next week goes even faster!!

talked to my bf via text alot this weekend!! i guess they were able to come off of base this weekend but had to check back in at night i think. the person he was going to have as a liberty buddy didn't want to go out or something so my bf couldn't come off base! i wasn't planning on seeing him till next week so i am not toooooo upset. but would have been a nice surpise!!

my bf said that people are doing well, as in not getting in to much trouble or anything. also he isn't leading on to him being sick or anything really hurting on him more then usual. but i guess i will see next weekend. and yes they are all really tough! they have to be!! i told a marine that my bf was a corpsman and he said they were legit wich as the urban dictonary puts it... " sound awesome cool legitimate amazing tight sick sweet real dope hot rad epic true fresh sexy chill bro boss beast great badass nice fly serious ..."   thought that was a good discription of what he ment by it!

he did say that he hear they are starting their hikes this week. although he also said that he herd it could be another week coming up. but i can't wait till friday when i get to see him!! just need to make sure he passes all his tests. i am sure he will be sleeping and studying while he is at the apt. said cause of presidents day they get a 3 day weekend coming up! yay!! rest for them!! 

hope all is going well and you got to hear from your loved ones!! 2 weeks done!! bring on the rest!
