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?

DSMOM! Wahooooooooooooooooooo!!!  so proud!! :)
I got a letter from my husband today, weird b/c I don't usually get letters on Saturday! He said that gas chamber rocked, he passed his final PFA. He got a peek at his orders and he'll be staying in GL for 8 days after graduation so I guess I get the whole weekend with him! I'm so glad that my plane doesn't leave IL till noon on Sunday. After that he'll be going to VA (like I told him he would) for his next school. After all of that he'll be allowed 14 days leave, and he'll be coming home, somewhere around June 24 if he read it correctly. That is awesome, b/c our sons (and his) birthday is June 19!
That is AWESOME!!
I'm here! Unfortunately, not much to say, though.  Thinking about all our SRs and Battlestations.  Charged up my cell phone, ready for THE call!  Rest well...

I have been getting on here everyday to see if anyone has posted anything. But there hasnt been much activity. I dont have a whole to say about my Sr. Her letters are being very brief and she said she is ready for boot camo to be over and cant wait to see us. She is ready to start her A school!! I am so ready for BS21 tonight and to get my I'm a sailor call!! I have my blue candle & I also bought 2 blue night light bulbs and will put them in my window candles in my front living room window candles & will leave them on until I get my call on Tuesday!! My phone is all charged up and ready to go!!

 

Good Luck everyone and hope to talk to you all tomorrow after we get our calls!!

Ashley is the same way, she is ready for it to be over and move on to the next step in her new life.  I imagine it is bittersweet for them having become so close and then all going someplace different. I hope many of them stay in touch. 

 

I hope everyone will come post when we hear from our new sailors!!!

I'm totally here!  =D
Tonight's our night ladies! Good luck to all our SR's, hopefully tomorrow we will all have SAILORS!

I know girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got a call from my SR today, totally freaked me out b/c I thought something bad had happened.. she was calling for more names and numbers for security clearance! whew!!  I said "are you ready for BS?" She said, "Yea, we are all waiting around and I am nervous." I didn't get to say more b/c our phone line or hers went screwy and I lost contact.

:( I missed saying God speed and all that! :(  BUT, we'll talk to them tomorrow, right???????????

wahooooooooooooooo

My SR said she is SOOOOOOOO ready for BC to be over and off to school.. I think the girls are getting sick of each other! LOL

So cool that you got to talk to her today! 

You are so lucky you got to talk to her today!!! My stomach is in knots just waiting!!! I already started to pack today!! I know they will all do good! This is what they have been training for 7 weeks for!! My Sr is ready for bc to be over also!! She said she is sick of boot camp and is ready for a change at A school!! I think they are ready for more freedom like having their cell phones & laptops!!

 

Good Luck Everyone & I hope you all get your sailor calls tomorrow!!

 

God Bless & Prayers with you and with Division 925!!

So they aren't doing anything but waiting for BS to start?  Maybe they will be well rested!
