Hi Dianna, I got a long letter from my boy today dated 10/25 and he says your sons bunk is right by his and they usually work out together after taps at night trying to lose their belly fat. He seems really excited about the A school choice he was given but says he won't be able to call home again until maybe Nov 10th. They are sooooo busy. I can't wait for that call!

Tammy -No intrusion! This is an open group and I love your thought process! I will put 952 down for 11/9 with a "tentative" next to it. Hopefully one of us will get a "Guess What BS21 is on 11/XXX" call or letter....
Heather - I guess this is why they go by last names! -

How cool is that! I can't understand my son and his belly fat....to me he looked like a stick! And he told his gf that he's gained about 15 pounds of muscle since being there. I'm sure a lot of it is due to the extra working out with your son. Did he say what is A school choice is? Mine is gong to Pensacola...

I'm one of the other Drews Mom's and I saw the flag. It is very good and my Drew said alot about it and he thinks its awesome! He is also a tatoo artist. And seems to be loving boot camp, which I never expected. He says Battlestations will be the end of the 7th week (this coming week) but did not say which day.

Hi Drewsmomship02, what a coincidence that both of our Drews are tattoo artists?! I'm actually a fiance, not a mom but this site has been so helpful- looking forward to meeting you next week! My Drew started his apprenticeship earlier this year; then decided to go in the Navy, so he hasn't finished it yet but it's still a goal of his; he's got too much talent to not do it!

The flag is so awesome! I love it. Thanks all for the updates. We got a letter last week and Trav said he was great and that the division was also doing well. He didn't go into a lot of detail though, so it's nice to hear it from other sailors! I can't WAIT!!

My son said in a letter that he's lost a lot of weight too! I really like the flag, your son is very talented!
