Its what my daughter has wanted to do since she was 11 years old. The military is a part of her. I enrolled her in JROTC wgen she was in middle school and she just flown with it.

missed phone calls......

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 9:53am 0 Comments

We think. We may have missed our daughters phone call yesterday. Any other moms ship 3 div 17 get any calls? We were wondering if the caller ID shows unavailable or if it show an area code? We received a call that showed ( unavailable N). Not sure what the N stood for but we automatically assumed it was her. Very depreessed if that is the case.

The waiting continues.....

Week 3! Maybe this week we will receive a letter....boy I hope so. Her dad and I write her everyother day. Just to keep her updated on the family and home...but I'm so anxious to hear from her! Sometimes time is not our friend.

Wondering if there are any other parents out there that may have a child on Ship 03 Div 017. I would love to hear from you. We are having a tough time with our daughter in basic. She never been away from home for such a long time. I know others are feeling the same as my husband and I. Feel free to contact me.

Any Kansas moms?

Posted on October 20, 2010 at 5:23pm 4 Comments

Was wondering if there are any mothers from Kansas? I live in Wichita and my daughter left for basic training about 13 days ago. I do have so many questions. But mostly are pertaining to my daughters happiness. We received her forum letter the other day and she wrote to us about how unhappy she is. I know its homesickness talking, but still heartbreaking none the less. She stated she wants to come home to us and misses us so much. Ugh this made us cry. I'm hoping thing will get better for her,… Continue

Michele - Yes, our son has changed a bit - much more mature and focused. He walks straight and tall and when he's standing at ease - it's with feet spaced just right and he holds the back of one hand with the other. We went down to FL in July to see him while he was at "A" school and hopefully, he will come home soon on leave.
It's great your daughter knew she wanted to go into the military at such a young age. Jared knew he wanted to go into Law Enforcement about age 11 too. He was a junior in college when he decided to take an Army ROTC class and loved it, and signed up for more ROTC classes as electives, but decided the Navy was a better fit for him. He waited until after he graduated with a degree in Criminology before preparing for Boot Camp - he had to drop a few pounds before going to see the recruiters even. He's loved the Navy ever since and is very happy about enlisting and chosing to become a CTR. What job will your daughter be training for? Keep in touch and I'll try to answer any questions you may have. - Corinne

This website really helped me through Boot Camp. That was a tough time! My son is now finished with his "A" school and is waiting for his official orders. We hope it's the same as the verbal orders they gave him. He could be going to "C" school yet before he starts his job. Good luck to your daughter! - Corinne
