My son started school this morning. Can't wait to hear how his day went, he should be oovoo-ing tonight. I love the internet! It would be kind of nice if they were in the same classes or some of the same, that way we could keep track of them through eachother. What is your Sailor's name?
wonders 520; do you have a clue when the battlestations are for the boys, what day? Don't want to miss the "I'm a Sailor" call. L
wonders520; what???? He called me???? He knows to leave a message. Never saw an 847 number come through any of our phones. Darn and shoot. Been attached to my cell phone for weeks hoping, praying to hear. Know he has tried his girlfriend and missed her a couple times so I was trying to be careful. Well, glad to hear he is doing okay. Thank your son for passing along the message. Hope your son is well and "enjoying" bootcamp. Did he leave from San Diego on the 16th of August, too? We were there to watch the festivities, maybe we saw him. L
Hi sorry for the delay didn't realize there was a request. Thank you my son is doing well and I hope your is too.
