No he isn't. They will tell him where he will be based during the sixth week of boot camp. He got the job being a damage controlman (firefighter) So after those extra 5 weeks in GL, He will get leave for christmas. So I'm very thankful for that. Then he will report to his base, and I will follow :)
Ah good for you guys :) And yes we plan to get married but I don't know exactly when and how that is gonna all go down, There is a lot to discuss when he is done with BC. But he will be staying in GL for five weeks after bootcamp for some extra training, so we will have time to figure it all out. But when he goes to where he will be based after those 5 weeks I will follow him. They still haven't told him where yet. Hopefully in california ! But who knows. So are you getting married during his A school?
Hey you, how are you ? So I read you were packing up and moving to where your SR will be after BC. I am doing the same. So are you gonna get an apartment close to where he is and work? I'm still trying to get ideas on what and how. I've been working my butt off and saving all my money to do this.
Yes, Training for the Seaman-Professional Apprenticeship Career Tracks (S-PACT) Program is for 3-4 weeks in GL. Join the group, Undesignated...What's Up With That? (clickable link). If I can help with anything else, just ask.
Someone said this morning that for them today would be treated like a Sunday so here's hoping they got to write letters today and yesterday! Where are you staying in GL?
Hi!!!, how are you ? I see our men are in the same DIV :) How is time going by for you? Cant believe tomorrow it will be three weeks ago since they left!
I can't wait to meet you two at PIR. Are you going to go to Sarge's meet and greet the night before? I heard that is the best. My middle son is coming too and Davids Godmother, my best friend, more a sister. My oldest son and daughter in law are going to wait until he is in South carolina and drive down, Sean (my oldest) hates flying because of the wheelchair.
Hi Anndrya, its nice to meet someone else with a loved one in this division. Assuming you have a gotten a letter by now, my parents got a letter yesterday but I was really hoping I'd get one today, maybe tomorrow I will. Missing my boy tonight. Are you coming to PIR?
He's doing good!! He said its very hard to adjust but he's trying his best! Did you cry your eyes out when you read your letters lol...I did! It made me so happy but so sad at the same time...he told me how much he missed and how he would do anything to hear my voice again :( god..how depressing! What about your man? He adjusting okay??
He'll def get our letters next week for sure then! So happy you finally got them, and we def will get to meet at PIR...i can't wait to see our handsome sailors! we're getting closer - and I SO hopeeee we get a call soon! I told you this on the other group, but join our PIR group for 11/09! Check out my page and look at my groups, you'll find it there!
