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?

Hey Girls! :)
I am reading.. but not posting much.. we are away on vaca in Myrtle Beach right now.. the trip down was HORRENDOUS!  BUT.. we made it!  THinking of you all and I'll pop in here once a day and read what's going on! :)
Hugs,

Jenn

Lucky You!! Have a great vaction!! Not much has been going here!!
Enjoy yourself girl!  You deserve it!
Beautiful full moon this evening, I thought I'd share with all of you :) 
gorgeous!

Okay, so got two letters today, my husband told me he passed all his tests, shooting a weapon has been so empowering and he physically feels amazing.  he said "I can't believe my body and mental conditioning improved so much"  I'm so proud of him!  I hope he keeps it up after boot camp, I always loved my husband even when he was fat (I mean I fell in love with him that way) But I'd like to keep him around a while, and its way easier to do that when he's not scarfing down 5 burgers at BBQ's!!  Maybe all this working out will become something he does for the rest of his life, that would be amazing. 

 

Anyway, all he says about the people is he knows knight, loughney not too well, and he's seen thompson but he doesn't talk to her.   That was all he said about the people.  He went on to tell me that Hell week was..well..Hell.  He said he was running on 4 hours of sleep and being on watch didn't help matters at all.  But the night he got to write he said he would be getting a full night's rest. 

 

Gotta run, hope you all got nice letters today!

I'm worried. My SR is SIQ (complete with bags of IV fluid) with a scary chance of being ASMO 'd. Don't know if he got to shoot a weapon because he wasn't sure he would be well enough. Anyone happen to know if anyone has been sent back?  Also, definitely found out we won't be able to make the meetNgreet. We're meeting another plane which gets in past 8pm. Bummer....

Beautiful moon pic :)

Did he say what was wrong?  That sounds scary.

He says he thinks it's the flu.  I am worried but keep hoping NOT to get a phone call. Weird, isn't it? No news is good news...sigh...

I am so sorry to hear your Sr is sick. We will kepp praying for him for a speedy recovery!! Also pray that if it is the flu that the rest of the SR's dont get it either!!! I did not get any letters today. So I am hoping for one or more on Thursday (thats the normal day they come). Aawww I am so sorry your cant be at the meet & greet!! Hopefully we can see each other at PIR!!
So sorry to hear that! :(  Praying he gets healthy very quickly and keep with his div.  :)
Keep us updated!
Jenn
Oh no, that really sucks.  Did he get to call you?  sometimes when they're SIQ they get to call home more.
