I received my phone call last night. I was so excited to hear her voice. She sounded good.
She said she was having a rough time though. She said the division got to enjoy oreos
because they excelled on their physical assessment test. She is very bored with the food. I told her when we come up for the graduation I was going to spoil her when we go out to eat. I told her to keep trying I know she can do it. I am praying for her. God bless all of our girls. I know it was more difficult for her than she thought it would be but she is too stubborn to tell me that!

I am so glad you got the call!!!!! Mine daughter called for about 3 seconds after she got off the phone with her hubby!! I will take my 3 seconds and be joyful because of it!! She reinjured her ankle and that scares me to death. I really hope they dont push her back because of it. My son in law did not say anything about Oreo's so i will have to call and grill him a little harder!! lol as for spoiling after grad I am all over it!!!!! I might have to take out a loan to feed her!!! There is a reason her NIckname is piggy.

My SR is in Div 210. 209 and 210 are sharing a Ship. I spoke to my son Tuesday night. Apparently they are all sick with a sinus cold but they are doing better.

I'm guessing that this is a unisex division.. Lots of people with daughters, but my boyfriend is in this division as well. I got a call on the 17th and have received four letters so far :) I did not expect that much at all, but i've been very happy with it all. The call took me by such surprise, I was shaking the whole 20 minutes. He sounds so good! and he loves his NWU's.
What is the best thing to wear this time of year in Chicago? He said it was cold when I talked to him, but yet it's been kind of cold in FL too.
Will it warm up by June 17th?

Hi Everyone
I hope everyone has been receiving their letters from the SRs. Mine was very upbeat. I am so glad.
She says everyone is finally working as a team and she said they are starting to learn their marching
drills and getting their uniforms.
Anyways, she said she has made some friends who are going to be in her A School right in
Great Lakes. Is anyone elses SR going to A School right in Great Lakes in 3/209 or 3/210.
I am so glad our SR's are finally working as a team!

In my daughter's letter she said she knows your daughter (she is know by her last name) like
everyone else.
She sounded very upbeat in her letter. She says the days go by fast and she is going to be a grad n go.
They have to be back at base by 8 pm. She wants me to send her some pictures of her with long hair to show her shipmates.

that is cool that our daughters know each other!! Maybe they will help each other get through it like us moms are doing!! Jessicas letters are basicly upbeat too. She will not tell me bad stuff because she knows how upset and obsessed i get when i have no controll over the situation. I do the same to her. Jessica is grad and go also but I will take ANY time I can get with her. My hubby and I are going to make the trip to Florida for 4th of july to see her at A school and knowing that helps. I finally stopped crying so much!!! I know she is doing what makes her happy!!! I sent a collage of pics to jess to show off and she loved them!!!
GOD BLESS OUR GIRLS!!!!!

What is your daughter's first name? I want to ask Arianna if she is friends with her in my next
letter to her. I am sure she probably is. She says a lot of her shipmates are going to A School
right there in Great Lakes with her and she has made friends with a lot of the girls in her division.
I am glad that your daughter is doing better.
Have a good weekend. Hopefully it won't be too long now. Can't wait till the 17th!
God Bless our SRs
