Oh, I see, yah, I don't know how musicmom got that..there are 2 other Cheryls and she may have gotten me mixed up with one of them. So, the boys could know each other having gone to school together...how funny..
Good man!!! Although I don't really follow the red sox my husband does. My SR left for bc from Houston, that is where he signed on. He was living with his brother in Bryan TX and went to Blinn College for a year. He hated it. I was hoping to see him in the swearing in ceremony in your photos but he isn't there.
You are the second person today to tell me my son is in nuke...I've missed something along the way because he isn't...where are you getting that. Did I post something wrong?
Hi, I was glad to hear from you. That was funny Justin writing in the bathroom. Kevin has wrote a couple funny things too. I am hoping to get a call soon. He told me maybe in 2 weeks and tomorrow will be 2 weeks. I wrote him another letter last night. Just think we only have 18 more days until we see our sons!!! He told me in his last letter that he had 3 inspections last week and 2 qualifications. I just hope he passed everything so I can get that call!
Hi, Did you get a letter today? It is my 3rd one so far. Seems like the letters are getting shorter. He says that they are very busy. Kev tells me that he still does'nt know how long he is going to be in Great lakes before going to "TX but his curfew is 6am until 9pm after PIR. He says there is a railway next to the base that he would like to see Chicago with us after PIR. I was so relieved to read that, originally he told me that he only had an hour with us after PIR because he was a Grad & Go.
Thanks so much, She is on her way to c-school now and I miss her already.

I know how you feel! I can almost hear my boyfriend's voice when I read his letters, but I would love to hear it without my high-pitched interpretation! :) Thank you for clearing the address situation up for me! I got another letter today and it said Sailor Dr as well so we are good to go :) Hope you have a great weekend and we hear from our SR's again soon!

Hi Justinsmom! I got a letter as well and it sounds like everything in going well in that division! My boyfriend said they are being fed well and he really likes his division too. He also said they all did an 8-point workout for someone's birthday and the birthday boy just got to watch haha. I was wondering since ours are in the same division if they have the same address? I got a letter with one return address (ohio street) and my boyfriend's mom got one with a different return address (the one that was on the form letter- sailor road). I was hoping maybe you would be able to clear up the confusion :)
Got my first letter yesterday from my son. He sounded great and had so many positive things to say about his division. He already has a nickname and is making friends. Says they are working him hard but is not too bad yet and he gets into the competitive part of it, that's what drive him and he loves being part of a team. I'm so proud of him!
I just got a call form my husband and his Mom called to tell us she got a letter from our son. She said his letter was so positive. It will be 5 before I get home today and can check my mail, I'm dying!!!! I can't get home fast enough:(
You can add me as a friend too if you would like....just happened to run across your page....it seems Teaparty's son and my son have ended up as roommates together in A-School...we have been through the last 8 weeks together. All I can say is that graduation weekend is AMAZING, and it makes it just that much more special when every time you walk into the lobby of the hotel or go in a restaurant, there are all "your" moms greeting you! I can recommend hotels, etc., if you are interested.
