Hey everyone! 

 

   I just got the letter from RTC with Ashley's address and grad date (May 06,2011) Does anyone else have a future sailor on the same ship and division?

In case you guys missed my son in his sailor suit.  I posted it on our PIR page, but thought I'd put it here as well.  My son (in white, b/c I'm a good listener and I take orders well)
He is adorable!!! How old is he? I have two grandaughters Rylee will be 3 on June 22nd and Peyton just turned 1 on April 7th. My SR is very close to her nieces. I have been mailing her pics of them. I just mailed her pics of Peyton on her 1st birthday eating her cake!! She will get a kick out of how messy she got! You know I just remebered something as I was writing to you. Marissa (my SR) had her 1 year picture taken in a sailor dress!!!! LOL I must have had an intuition on htis as a mother!! I will get that picture out & post it !!!

Aw, that's so cute!  Yes, post pictures. =)

 

My son is going to be 10 months in 3 days. 

I couldnt figure out how to post that picture of Marissa on here but I did get it posted on my facebook if you would like to see it on there!!
He's GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!    Look at those cheeks!!   I wanna squeeze the little peanut!
OH my goodness.. HOW STINKING CUTE!!!!!!!!  LOVEIT!
So so so CUTE!!
Yay!  Good for them, now we don't have to worry!  Well sort of...Now we just need to worry about them passing the written tests!

if they passed the PT test once, isn't the same the rest of the times?   They should be okay with that if so.  And I hear the gas chamber isn't so bad.  And of course battle stations too, but if they can get through all of the rest of it, then it should be okay. 

 

I'm staying positive!  I know they can do it all.

No what I mean is that the amount of sit-ups, pushups and the time on the mile doesn't change for each PT.  So if they passed one, they should pass the rest without any problems.

 

Sorry for all the confusion LOL

How many flags total can they earn? What is the "zone" inspection? Again I dont mean to be stupid but when you say "they" I am assuming you mean "all" the division (both boys & girls). I cant wait to see the graduation photos next week. Hoping to catch a glimpse of Marissa in the performing group!!

 

Deb so happy you got an unexpected letter!!!  I have been praying everyday that they are all doing well on the inspections, test & PT...

Good morning, I have no idea the answer to any of those questions!

 

And yes, "they" refers to the entire division. 

 

I really can't wait to see the photo's too.  My husband had written that he was thinking of backing out of performing because he was scared.  I hope he is sticking with it, I will be so disappointed if he backs out.  I feel this is a chance for him to grow and he should really embrace it and step out of his comfort zone.  I wrote back DO NOT BACK OUT OF PERFORMING!  but who knows if he will get the letter in time to make a difference.  Hopefully we will all start seeing out SR's in future pictures. Only 18 more days until we see them in person though!
