Curious how everyone's sailors are doing? It's been a long time. Clay became a FMF a Corpsman, is attached to a marine unit and getting ready to go out on his first deployment. Very stressful. Hope all the families and their sailors are doing well.

I sent a message but just wanted to make sure that you get it. Was wondering about the scarves. Is it too late to get them. Looking to get 2, I will be at the meet and greet so I would be able to get it from you then. I must have missed the post about them. Just let me know, no big deal if I cant get them.

Thank you

My daughter is in the same ship  and division. LOL. I received first phone call since her arrival to boot camp.She sounds great other than adapting to cold weather outside of Texas. She says she has a job assignment. Misses the home cooked meals, but  is hanging in there. She was saying week 4 will be weapons training. Looking forward to PIR. Good luck with your son too. She says she had passed her first test and inspection. She made me laugh saying she had shined her first pair of boots.Hope to meet you at PIR.

At 12:30pm on December 20, 2011, ProudOfGar said…

No I forgot all about someone on here having a pic of one until you just now said that I will get on top of that right now! The closest Target is an hour away so I will order one!!! Thank you for the reminder!

I found them at Hobby Lobby! There was only one style! I did get my tree up my husband knew I wanted a small one so when I got home from work and noticed he hadn't assembeled a tree he said that he had already been to Wal-mart he just didn't know which one I would want! So we went and got one after place the 2 "Navy" ones on and 2 ballerina ones for my daughter he pulled out our old decorations and completley unintentionally we ended up with a complete USA tree lol! It was funny how it came together!

Yeah, I received a 25min. phone call & 3 letters yesterday:). Has made my week :). She's doing well, besides her feet from the boots. :(. She has been assigned to Ship Staff. She's in charge of approving who enters ship @ salutes all officers & such, she also has ship watch 2-4 hours, & makes announcements about uniform of the day, not to mention clean the ship deck. She sounds really happy about having the job. Although, in her opinion some of the SRs still don't know when to be quiet so still getting worked pretty hard. Although she said the guys got worked really hard on the 14th. Guess, the dentist tried to tell her she didn't have her wisdom teeth pulled, but I know she did cause our dentist was surprised that there were no roots on her wisdom teeth. Said she hasn't been called back yet. She declined glasses but will get her eyes checked again after BC. Said she's making lots of friends & is friends with almost all the girls. So, that's about all for now so I'm in much better spirits now :) Glad you got a call as well.

We got a phone call, UNFORTUNATELY I was NOT HOME.  She called her dad and talked to him(glad he answered!  He usually doesn't if he doesn't know the phone number when he's at work)  He said she sounded in a good mood.  She said she was having "fun"  Leave it to my crazy girl to think boot camp is fun.  She wrote me a letter with a few kind of yucky things, like getting extra PT, a blister that got infected and something else and then says But otherwise everything is great LOL!  She is making friends in her Ship too. :D

I am so happy that you received a letter from your son. That is weird about the postmark.

Thanks for posting the "holiday" Monday question on RTC FB.  I will be curious to hear what they say.  Have a good day!

i am so happy for you! i hope i get mine monday :( well does that go for ALL of the div with the pir date? im so confused it will probably make more sense once i get a letter and he explains, or at least i hope he does :) 

At 7:27pm on December 10, 2011, CoMom92 (Ship 03 Div 047) said…

So Glad you got a letter from him! 

I am hoping my daughter is doing well.  She didn't mention some of the girls were having a difficult time.  I am wondering if she is a leader too, as she is an oldest child.  But, she may be trying to lay low too.

I am hoping to get some more letters soon.  I miss her like crazy and the last few days have been difficult.

At 8:36pm on December 9, 2011, navywife11 said…

:) im sorry yes i havent received anything yet either :( nobody in 910 has that i have spoke to :( i hope soon!

At 8:54am on December 9, 2011, navywife11 said…

hello! thank you for the friend request :) my husband arrived to BC nov 21st, he is in 02/910 PIR 1/27/12 :) have you received any letter or call? im still waiting :( keep in touch!

I think the more details we know the more we are comforted, no matter how trivial it may seem. My daughter even included in the letter the time limits they have on everything..lol. If you're looking for recommendations of where to stay we have reservatons @ Homewood Suites (Hilton) from Thurs.-Mon. @ rate of $74 a night using the code in the pamplet that came with form letter. Looks like a really nice suite that we'll be getting, only downfall is Hubby was hoping they would have an indoor hot tub, which is kinda strange for a Hilton not to have one especially since they do have indoor pool. Oh, well we're not complaining suit looks awesome so we'll just wait & see.

I'm assuming it was this past Friday anyways, she didn't date her letter but poststamp is Dec. 5th. Didn't say anything about the brother division unless she's talking about both of them when she was saying alot of the SRs don't know when to be quiet so they've had to do extra workouts & since they're not being quiet when suppose to they get "BEAT" : Better Educated and Trained.

At 10:07pm on December 7, 2011, BDee76(Ship 03 Division 048) said…

In letter she said Friday (Dec. 2) was 1-1
