arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh what is up with that? I am glad I made you smile though. They are sitting there doing nothing but about a million push ups and taking apart shotguns and putting pistols together after they clean them and ironing their underwear under a red light and learning how to march and fold a towell and how to shower with like 300 other men they have time to write !!!!!

My SR just joined Ship 9 DIV 131. He was on medical hold for 2 months due to shin fractures. Is your SR Grad & Go?

No letter today ...I agree HisMom whats a letter to dear ole Mom after all we did give birth lol!!! My SR is going to Pensacola FL for A-school after graduation.I guess they fly out Sat or Sun sometimes even Mondays depends on airline. The term grad and go is for those doing A-school at Great Lakes. Missing my son,it seems like forever since I seen his smiling face. I so miss him cracking jokes and saying im bored!!!
Dorrio that is awful about the shin fractures!!! Never really knew how long 8 weeks could be till my son joined the Navy lol

Hi DorriO,
Yes I think he is from what he has told me in his letters. The thing is that I am under the impression that Grad and Go meant that they would stay in GL for "A" school. What is your SR going to A school for? Welcome to the group :-) there is not very many of us on here, not sure where all the other members are.
