I've told my daughter several times that the blue candles are in place ready to light. It is awesome how this connects all of us together isn't it? We will all be thinking, sending positive thoughts and prayers to our SR's all at the same time. I wonder just how much sleep I'm going to get tomorrow night.......I really have butterflies in my stomach,....like I haven't had for quite some time.

I know what you mean, I don't think I will sleep either, maybe I will just stay awake and make sure the candle does not go out, I would hate for it to go out and send bad vibes to them...of course I don't think I will be able to sleep anyway.... wish I knew how she did on her PFA
In her last letter she mentioned she never received the St. Michael medallion that her dad sent to her, she was looking forward to it, since it was the same medallion that she got him before he left for Kuwait, and then he gave it to her for bootcamp. I am still hoping it shows up before she leaves RTC. I guess she is pretty good at shining boots, she was asked to shine the boots of the "honor recruit" so that when she went before some of the Chiefs she would look her best.
She also mentioned that 31 males and 3 females failed their zone inspection and that they got their second academic flag, but just barely made it.
I know it is not much news, but the letter was written before the PFA, now maybe, hopefully another letter will come in the mail tomorrow. If not, guess Friday for sure I will know once we get the phone call saying they are a "Sailor".

And here I was telling our mutual doc (hers and mine) that I couldn't figure out where all my panic/anxiety attacks were coming from! They started when she left in March...I'm seriously doubtful they will go away even after graduation!
I was so proud, showing the whole office her pic w/her in uniform. One nurse said she got goosebumps from it.
While the boys seemed to have fallen apart at the seams, they still have a day to pull it together. I'm sure they will all do just fine. It's just a shame that it also causes the girls to not get any flags, after all they have been thru, not working as a team, then coming together...

Hope all goes well for everyone. My daughter called for 2mins. I was at school for our Music concert. She talked to her dad so I got no information except that she is on medical hold. I dont know if they did surgery or are about to do surgery or what is going on. I am so glad she is not here at bootcamp because her grandma would storm in and demand info. LOL

Just got a phone call from my daughter, she passed her PFA... will tell more about what is going on once my husband is done talking to her. Just wanted to give you the heads up that you might be getting a phone call as well.

Has anyone looked at the pictures today on fb? The is a young lady that looks like the young lady in the firefighting class picture from a few days ago. I was thinking that maybe one of todays pics is of DIV 174 or 173.

More information from the phone call tonight, the reason she got to call was that the division was doing some sort of event and the team she was on won the event so they got to make a phone call. She also said since the division passed their zone inspection they will be able to make an hour phone call sometime next week.
She was still sick, she could hardly talk her cold was pretty bad, but said she was doing okay, her dad asked her why she has not gone to see the doctor and she told him, that she didn't go, cause she didn't want to miss out on anything that the division was doing.

Is anyone on FB? Evidently I'm chatting w/one of our moms on the RTC FB page, just dunno who she is!!! May not be from our division, tho, obviously, just the same PIR. The moms from her old division have a little FB group to themselves so they can all keep in touch. Wouldn't be a bad idea :)
