Hello everyone....
Does anyone have the website or address for the military pay. I checked my daughters checking account today and she only received 1/2 of her pay. I had the website, log-in & password written down but for the life of me I can not find it anywhere. Thanks for your help ladies...

So went to visit my daughter this weekend in Virginia (that is were she is stationed) and was a little bummed.. She was so excited when she was in bootcamp & A school, no she is just blah. She went into bootcamp as undesignated, because she couldn't wait to go in, now she is seeing that she should of waited for her field to come up. She really wants EOD. She is complaining of being exhausted from doing nothing…

Well I got the 2nd phone call today, she is doing great, she is loving every minute of bootcamp. She is a little nervous for Friday it is the gas chamber she is afraid she is going to pass out, I told her that she will be just fine. Get to see her in 17 days, then she leaves for A School in Pensacola then she comes home for 2 weeks then she gets her orders, of course her 1st choice is San Diego, which is like 3000 miles away from home, I was hoping for Baltimore MD only about 2 1/2hrs... But…

I received a letter from my daughter today and am a little confused... :) She said 25 days to PIR (10/08) and only 39 days until I can come home, she claims that she is only in A School in Pensacola for 2 weeks.... Does that sound right??? I called her recruitor today, but he hasn't called back, what a shocker!!! I was told by him before she left for BC that she would be in A Schhol maybe 2 to 3 months. She is Aviation. I am just confused, and until I hear from her again I may not know…

So I got another letter from my daughter today, was so excited until I read the letter... She is Grad-N-Go, which means I will only see her Friday, she leaves Saturday morning at 2:00am for Pensacola... I know I should be greatfull for spending at least 24hrs. with her since I haven't seen her in 2 months, but I wanted the whole weekend. I am sure that I am sounding very selfish but I miss her soooooooo much. We where going to do the whole 12hr. drive to Great Lakes, but think we maybe…

My Daughter leaves for boot camp on August 11, 2010. I am so proud of her but yet so sad to see her go. I was a single mom for the 1st 14 years of her life she is my only child and I am going to miss her to death..... My husband works 12 to 14 hrs, a day, so I am getting a puppy this weekend I know this will not replace my daughter not being here but hopefully it helps a little. After boot camp she is going to Pencacola Fl. for Aviation School. Any advice on how to cope…
