I know that Ben will be going to Pensacola and his rate is going in was higher because of his college. I am staying at America's Best Value Inn in Waukegan. I would not miss this for the world. This achievement that our boys have accomplished deserves our respect in so many ways! I think you maybe right about the dream sheet, but he says they told him where he would be going. He may have misunderstood. I have recieved 2 letters, and one phone call. He has tried one other time to call, but I missed it. I am concerned though about the government shut down. Does anyone know if this will affect their graduation? I am so relieved to hear that they are finally becoming a team!

God, I hope it doesn't effect their graduation :( All this stuff couldn't have come at a more stressful time for us. According to many of my friends, they checked their LES(like a pay stub i guess) and their pay has been cut in half.

Got mail today!! WOO HOO!!
He said that HELL week was coming to a close. They had marching inspection in the drill hall - basically 12 min version of our graduation and getting critiqued on it. He said the inspector said "Im the biggest A h**e here and you better be F---ing good or I will just leave!!!" Well they ended up doing "SUPERB" and only got 3 hits! 4.75 out of 5!! (could be CNO GOLD) ?? don't know what that means - maybe I just cant read it but something Gold!
Woo- hoo division 150!!
Said, "tomorrow is 2nd exam and RDC gave examples of test questions then after that hoo-ya fire fighting and gas chamber!!" Said they had pictures today - (I think this might have been written on Tues?)
He then said he cant wait to be able to relax and walk other than on the right side of the room!!
Has anyone else heard anything??
I so miss my son!! Lets all pray that the Government gets it together and none of this effects our SR's !!

I saw some of you are going to wear yellow scarves...I have this thing about stuff around my neck (probably based on 2 previous neck surgeries and wearing them to cover up the brace), so I'll be wearing a yellow shirt instead. Hopefully that will suffice :)
Haven't gotten a call in quite some time. Guessing that is a good thing then, since no call means she is doing ok w/her knee...or that's what I'm hoping.
jkk, my daughter was also fast tracked, but they told her she won't know her duty station until Pensacola. With the world the way it is right now, I'm very doubtful anyone knows for 100% sure where anyone will be stationed. Not so sure I'd be happy with my daughter being stationed in Hawaii, being how close it is to Japan... but, after all, that is one of the reasons they join the service to begin with.
