For all you moms across the country, just thought I'd share that it's a beautiful day here in Illinois today.  Sunny and 60 but a bit windy.  Forecast says that 70s are coming this week.  Maybe our SRs will get to do some of their physical training outdoors.  A mom can hope anyway!  :)

Does anyone know anything about A school graduation for those in Nuke school? It's a long way from home and I'm trying to decide if I should go or not?  I would really like to, but I'm on the Canadian border and he's in Charleston and I'd only have 3 days to go.

My son just arrived out in San Diego and has realized he desperately needs his car - what is the easiest and least expensive way to ship it out there?

I thought I'd give you ladies a training lesson on the different terminology that the various services use....

20 years ago today I gave birth to my son... strange I'm not able to wish him a Happy Birthday!!!! Thought about him all day and I hope it was a good day for him... but for some reason I think he spent today running and getting screamed at... I'm still waiting for my PIR letter...

Erin went to MEPS today. She went to take the DLAB first, while the rest of them went on to medical. After an extremely stress filled test she went to the bathroom and then proceeded to medical. Oops! Shy bladder syndrome then set in and she could not go for them. She cleared everything else on her medical. She wouldn't have finished processing today anyway because the 'intel shop' would not have had time to get her 'whatever they do' approved and sent back in time for contract and swearing…

I received a letter from my SR today....I was so happy...I was on cloud nine yesterday after a 20 min phone call that was wonderful.... and today a beautiful letter; if I didn't know better I would say my SR has become a young man, this is how his letter ended;

"Mom, I just wanted to tell you that I now realize how much you have done for me over the years and I want to tell you I appreciate it and love you very…

Well my son Justin left to boot camp on Feb 1st and I have to say it has been harder than I anticipated.  I miss him soo much.  I have been getting letters once a week and he actually called me.  I was soo excited to hear his voice.  Only a couple more weeks until he graduates and I am looking forward to seeing him and hugging him.  I always look forward to getting his letters and I write him twice a week.

ok i was wondering is there any chance that my husband boot camp can be 9 weeks long????

Erin is at MEPS today. She should be taking her DLAB test right now and then its on to medical. She has had a cold since the weekend but started feeling better yesterday. She texted me this morning that she is feeling even better today. I can't wait to hear from her recruiter as soon as he can see her DLAB scores. GO ERIN!!!

So my new boyfriend is enlisted, yay new long distance relationship! so I have a few questions about the whole thing. Can anyone tell me after his 2 month basic training he goes to school in charleston. What is the travelling distance for him on the weekends?

Now that the "dreaded box" is behind me... today I was hoping I'd receive my PIR letter... I ran to the mailbox this afternoon like a school girl... I'll try again tomorrow... xoxo Matt... Mom is thinking of you and lots of prayers!!!!

Hello, Everyone.   I am looking for some advice for my daughter and son-in-law.  They were blessed with their first child on February 17 but on February 29, my son-in-law was sent to Pensacola for a month's schooling and told that he would be transfered to Norfolk (my daughter joined him in Groton, CT the middle of January so that they could be together for the birth of their daughter) when he was done.  As part of his checkout, they gave notice to the housing and need to be out by April 3. …
