Hi Stephanie, I got my call from Christopher that he is a sailor. Soooo happy. Boy did he sound tired. Now we can relax. Glad you got your call too, Looking forward to meeting you next week at Graduation Hope you have a wonderful week-end. I am sp proud of all the terrific men and women who are now sailors. Yaaaa
Sorry I was so quick before I had to say goodnight to my 10 year old. I didn'r realize the battlestations was all night. I know they will do great. Have a good night and thank you again for the information.
Hi, thanks for the information. I will still be at week on friday till 5:00. I hope Anthony and Chris passes the inspection. I know they will do just great. I will let you know when I hear from Chris. They must be ready for graduation. Have a good night
Hi Stephanie, Have you heard anymore from Anthony? I have heard nothing. Tomorrow is their big day. I know all of them will do great, Can't wait to hear from them on Friday I wonder what time it will be. I will talk to you soon
Nothing yet Steph....it's all dependant on if she can do the run for her assessment. I hope she calls me and lets me know something. The poor kid is a hot mess!!!!
Hi, I am happy you heard from Anthony. Oh I wonder if Chris will call today. they must be glad that was the last shot. I am sure that they are happy they are near the end of training. I haven't gotten a call from Chris since good friday which was I think 4/2. Thanks for the information. I will let you know if I hear from Chris. Two more weeks yipee.
Hi, How do we know what time we will get the call on 4/30. I wonder id they will call us once more before 4/30 to let us know what time. I am so excited and I just can't wait to see Chris. This is going to be the longest two weeks.
Hi Stephanie, I got a letter too. He also told me about liberty for week-end. We are flying back on Sunday at 12:30 though. Thought he would be leaving on saturday. Now I feel bad can't be there all of Sunday, but there are 6 of us flying out and our flight cannot be changed or 150.00 extra fee per ticket. cannot afford to pay that. Maybe we can take him out to breakfast sunday am before we fly back to New York. I really hope he understands. we will have all friday after grad and saturday so we can make the most of our time together. He seems so happy and excited and the best thing for me is that he knows he made the best decisision to join the Navy. Are you going to be able to stay for for the whole weekend? Not much longer. I still hope I get a call soon. I will keep you posted. So glad you heard from Anthony. Talk to you soon
Hi, Have you heard anymore from your boyfriend? I thought maybe today he would call. I am so anxious. I just want to hear his voice. Hope you hear something soon from Anthony
yes hopefully we will hear something this week-end. I am sure you must miss Anthony alot. Before you know it we will see them. I will let you know if I hear from Chris. I hop e you hear soon. Hang in there
