My husband is a Nuke. He just got his teeth pulled on Monday, 4 wisdom and 2 other ones... He has the top bunk.. And says he's not really in too much pain! It would be cool if they were bunk mates!! He's doing okay, can't wait for it to be over!

Hi Everyone, I've been wiped out the last few days from a nasty flu so I thought I'd see how everyone is doing. I got a call two days ago from my oldest and we talked for over an hour!! He sounded great and very positive. He also got his wisdom teeth out and a root canal, but he loved it. He said he slept great! He got assigned as a section leader. My younger one sounds positive in one letter and then kind of depressed in another? He got assigned as quarter deck, which sounds like a guard at the front of their building. I'm still trying to figure out if he likes that or not? I guess their mood depends on what they did that day! He also got wisdom teeth out and a deep cleaning. They both sound like they will graduate and I have booked my air tickets....Thanks Brettany!!! I've read the posts and I was wondering about the grad and go. How do they find out about that? My two boys are going on to Pensacola to A school for IT. Is that grad and go??? Both of my sons have said that they have made some good friends and the division is a good group of smart and nice guys!! They told me about their personal inspections and how they got tested on it. They have to make their rack in front of everyone in 12 mins. and then are asked questions. They both did great and did not have any marks off. Got a good laugh because I can't remember the last time my son made his bed when he lived at home..lol. I'm very happy to hear that they both have been going to church. I think that helps them a lot!! I also told my boys about ordering their graduation pictures. Does anyone know about the package prices or where we can find out about it? If I find out any info I'll post it for all of you. I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day!!!

Hi cher! Once again, this is from my phone so sorry if any wowed words come up. :) I to get over an hour! It sure was nice huh! I was reading online and don't know what all it comes with but everyone has said to order package a! You get the keel book included. I think that's what they call it... But if you order it separately you past like thirty dollars for it. The language is $140.... I told my husband not to be cheap just buy it while we have the money for it lol I don't want him to regret it later. I've heard its definitely worth it! I'm glad you are feeling better! And that's awesome to hear about both of your boy's inspections. Happy mothers day!
