My daughter was saying the same thing about first names. She understands why we don't use last names here, but it really frustrated her. She gave me the last names on several gals she hangs out with, but.....
Mine was also sick, though had just seen the doctor and on meds and feeling much better. Frustrated that she had to wait two days to get off LLD.

Got my phone call, too! The girl sounded very happy. She's on Light Duty for shin splints until Friday. She is supposed to PST then but she said that she has until 5-1 day to pass her PST.
She's finding the whole experience pretty easy but then she was pretty prepared for it and has that military mentality so I didn't expect her to have any issues.
She was exited that she 5-0'd her inspection today and she's received cards from a bunch of people. One of her friends sent a kit-kat bar and a deck of cards. The candy was confiscated but the cards were allowed.
I asked her if she knew everyone's daughters and that was a fun game because she kept wanting to hear more names. So, now she knows who's mom's I'm talking to here and who they are.
I told her about trying to do the Facebook questions to win a picture of the ship/division and she liked that.
We talked about why she got a demerit chit for talking in the loading dock...lol. but overall, she's laying low and keeping her nose clean.
Oh, and she has not seen any ninjas!
She also mentioned that the showers were all open and at first it was awkward but you get desensitized after a while. They have 15 minutes to get showered and out of there. The toilets have curtains.

I am happy that we all got phone calls. I am praying that all going well for all of them. Sorry to hear about the shin splints. I wonder if our girls know each other. I can't stop smiling.

She was asking. Message me your last name and I'll ask in the letter I'm sending tonight.

I finally got a letter and was able to talk to Bryce for 40 minutes. Talk about heaven. He said the division is still struggling to come together as a team. Too much talking and not paying attention. He asked that we pray for them and some of the guys that have been sent home due to medical conditions.
Funny thing, I was in a meeting with the pastor at our church when the call came and I was out of there :)

Praising the Lord! You know God knows just what we need and when we need it. My daughter feels the same way and asked for prayer that they unite as a team.
