I got my letter! My son said he is so ready to get out of there. BS is when? It is not Monday I am thinking they go Sunday Or Tuesday! I spoke with PAO and they can't give me the date but he said not the 19th. So I have no idea when BS is for our kids now! But they are getting excited and can't wait to see their Family's. They had a hard week this week so I bet they are ready for this to be over with! PAO said swimming is one of the hardest things to pass ...... I hope all our kids move forward together. I will let anyone know if I hear anything else.

I did not get a letter yet this week, but I know my Josh is ready to get out of BC...the same as your boys. I agree with you Cheryl as far as praying they will get through BS, but I know they will all pass, I am confident of that. Hope Tay has a great track meet.....I will be spending this weekend watching my daughter play volleyball in a Tournament both Sat. and Sun. It will keep me occupied, but I know Sat. is the Captains Cup and am so hoping our boys division wins and gets loooonnngg phone calls home. Have a great day ladies....

Good luck to Tay! I was told a no phone call was best right now! LOL I would be scared if I got a call now......

If they win the Captains Cup event then the whole division gets special treatment for awhile...it would be a good call Cathy as a reward for winning, they also might get treated to pizza and be able to go on the internet. They call it Recruit Heaven.....So hope Saturday they work together and win that Captains Cup!!!!
