HELP!!!!!!!!!! got a letter from my son it was dated sunday the 23rd. he has been sick said he got sick after they went to chow and had thrown up 8 times, and the thing that worried me was he said PST was going to be the next day (Monday I thought it was last Friday) and as mamawalrus stated they had figherfighting and damage control this week as well. so he couldnt go to medical or he would be pushed back. MY QUESTION IS THIS, I think I am pretty sure I read it someplace but IF he did not pass his last PST they would have had him call home right? because for his job that is a required test to pass. please tell me yes so I can chill out. seeing how it is Wed. and no call then no call is good right??????? I reasured his girlfriend of this when I talked to her now I need you to reasure me :)

OK deep breath!!!! Today is done for them and no news IS GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!! He either felt better OR he toughed it out and did it! No other options RIGHT!!!!!! So yes he is good!!!!!!! SUnday was a long time ago on their time scale, remember that.
I wonder if he ate something bad or just got a bug? I hope it was what he ate so he got rid of it with all that throwing up! Poor guy had to be miserable. Do they RCT's see that and have them checked out or can they go the to the head in peace without permission?
Yes so it will be THursday since you have that as well.... So Thursday night it is! OMG>>>>>

Ok I didnt plan on my eyes getting watery so early on a Thursday morning.. but imagining them marching in, hearing the music play and seeing the joy on EVERYONES face as they look for their sailor is so exciting and overwhelming. I know the knot I feel in my stomach even thinking that so I cant imagine how it will "really" feel when we get there!
We will be there for each other in 804, through thick and thin.

Hi all - just checking in before I head to the dentist and then to work. We'll be on the road in 2 weeks heading to GL and the M&G and then on to PIR and the BIGGEST and BEST HUG IN THE WORLD!!!!! Our son has mom, dad, sister, and gf on list and keeps asking if she is coming (lives in another state now). No word from any of us. She is actually here with us now, hanging with SR's sister and will be with us on the trip. We have let him know that one of his 3 brothers is planning to come. Don't wear tops with buttons - they'll pop off when they come marching in! LOL (We've gone through this with sons in the fire department, Army, and Marine Corps.) Baby brother is going to top them all! (Inside family joke about one-upmanship in a family of competitors but seriously, brothers could not be happier for each other). Life is GREAT!
SR wrote a really sweet letter to his grandmother that she shared with me yesterday. Can't wait to give him a hug for the joy he gave her with that note.
Enjoy the day - only 14 more "sleeps" until we get to hug our sailors!
