ThhxAdmin for welcoming me to the blog !!! My son just left for RTC 24 hours ago !!!! I rec'd a phone call fro my son last night. Moms....is there a link where I can see what happens each week for recruits
Thanks for the welcome, the recruiting officer did a very good job. With My son, They Did Training Session Every Month For Six Months. I was well prepared, we gave him a big Bon voyage cook out. Thanks for having this site, pleasure to read all the posting.
maybe I misunderstood but a patient of mine had a son that went through bootcamp and said she could watch his progress through bootcamp as he passed the physical portions but it doesn't sound like that's possible do u know of another site that could be possible and I figured out the group . thanks !
thank you, I had heard from another mom that there is a way to check my daughters progress through bootcamp am I overlooking it ? im also having trouble getting into her group ship 09 div 231 , I must be blind :)
Thank you for the welcome. My daughter is now enlisted and leaving for boot camp on Oct 6th. I am glad that I have a little more time with her than I thought i would. Originally she was going to leave in July or August.
I'm so glad I can finally write. My son arrived at boot camp last night. I got the "hi mom, I'm here, love you, call in 3 weeks, gotta go" call last night. I'm a total wreck, my first born and Im a stress case. Wish I could be there with him.
