Hello I finally got my call last night about 930. He was in Med. in the AM when everyone else called. He said he has pink eye and it is going around.... He did sound tired not as happy as the last call. But he was still upbeat about being there. He asked me to keep praying for him! I love that boy bunches! I am so proud of him!

Hey Navy Moms, how's everyone doing. It seems all is quiet at the moment. Saw the new pics on RTC main page---doesn't look like our boys but you do get to see the store and the phone booths where they call from. Pretty cool.

Hi Janh, I saw the pictures today on the RTC website, and it is interesting to get an inside look of the facility they're in and to see the phone booths that they call us from. I received letters from both of my boys yesterday, and they sounded tired, but happy. By this point they realize that they will make it through this, and they claim it is really not that bad and they are making friends.They are really looking forward to graduation and say that the ceremony will be amazing. Just three weeks from tomorrow we leave for Chicago. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the mom's of our SR's at the meet and greet.

Hi Mary, It's too bad but we will not be at the meet and greet. Would of loved it but we are flying in on the late side Wednesday and have our 2 year old granddaughter with us...who will probably be very hungry and a little cranky by then...well I probably will be too. Hope to see/meet you all at PIR.

yeah my SR wrote in one of his letters that he had pink eye in BOTH eyes...ah how awful. I hope they are both doing better now! as well as everyone else who is sick!

Hopefully there wont be an epidemic of pink eye there! If they were here I'd say to dilute a little baby shampoo in distilled water, and rinse out your eye's :/

Has anyone logged into the Navy4Dads link? It's a crack up...here we are talking about missing them, pink eye, are they sick, are they happy. The Dads ask things like "where can I get a good steak in GL?". It's very funny to me.
Three weeks and one day and I will be in Illinois!!!!!!!

I have Jan. Let's just say they are not as into their site as we are. Dads love their kids differently than we do. I think that's why we have some Dads on this site. They want the real info. 20 days to go!!

I just got a letter from my SR yesterday and he said 8-10 in his division now have pink eye and has decided he will not be well again until he gets out of this (his words) compartment. He does amaze me with his story telling skills and his humorous spin on what I know is difficult times for our sons, husbands, boyfriends etc. I have really enjoyed his letters.
