Then you will be able to move with him if Aschool is Ayr... and yes I went to MS for a month and stayed at the hotel. And right now I am 3 hrs away from him he is at BESS now. I am visiting him this weekend actually !!! I am in NH he is is CT. If you want you can add me on facebook and it would make chatting easier :)
I actually have not moved with him because he has been in BESS which is 8 weeks of schooling he already did Aschool but he is a YN so he had Aschool in Mississipi. do you know how long Aschool is for him?
Hi Kylie! We got s call! About 20 minutes. He sounded really good making alot of friends. Excited about weapons training next week...How's your Sweetie?
I know what you mean! I almost died because I'm at my parents' house for a week and they don't have good reception and my phone just beeps out of nowhere to tell me I have a voicemail. So I'm listening to him cry and I'm about to throw up thinking I missed this long awaited call and he calls again! :) Best thing EVER!!
And what's worse is that I am flying tomorrow so I won't have a phone on for about 45 minutes. I just pray that he won't call during that time. But I changed my voicemail greeting to letting him know that I'm flying and to leave me a long voicemail and let me know if he needs anything and I love him and miss him. So I have all bases covered. I'll just be sick if I don't get to talk to him though...
But if you get a call you make sure you let me know!! :) My email goes straight to my phone so I'll check it right away!
Hoping your letter has arrived. Your page looks GREAT! I'm still not sure how to do "things"...but I'm trying. Hang in there, Girlie.
My son is not enjoying the shower. He seems to be making a few friends. If you need to vent, e-mail me off the site. Hope all is well for you & your little one. Thanks again for your efforts in uniting our recruits. : ) ~A~
Oh wonderful!!!!! Thank you so much for that information. I have just been so unhappy seeing other people having two and three calls and not getting one! :/ (Of course I'm happy for people too!!)
Please keep me informed if you hear anything! And I'll be sure to do the same!
Sorry for my delayed response. I did receive a letter from my son on Wed last week. He seems in good spirits. All is well, getting used to NAVY routine. Nervous about PT, but sure he'd pass...
Have you made travel plans yet? We are staying at the LaQuinta on the brochure, air booked and mini van...
Also, is your husband using all 4 quest tickets? My youngest is guest #5, just turns 13 in Feb. I am trying to get him on another recruits list, if they not using all guest passes...
Stay in touch. I'll keep you posted if I learn anything new. Thanks so much for starting this group. : )
