the navy has two different types of school, Class "A" school is the general school where they will learn about their rating (job) in general terms. A class "C" school is where they will learn more specific job skills. Think of "A" school as learning about how to work on cars, "C" school would be where they learn how to work on Honda's or Ford's or even motorcycles.

Hey,we got our phone call last evening!!!! So awesome to hear his voice though it cracked several times during the conversation. He sounded good otherwise. They all need our prayers and good vibes as much as we can squeeze in for them. he wanted to talk to everyone but only had 5 minutes as others were waiting in line to call home!! Yippy!! two weeks down! I have a better grip now on my emotions. I was able to go in his room last night and fell asleep on his bed. :))

Chrissy,
Yours is coming at the perfect time! No news is good news! Our son's best friend went to the marines on Dec. 12th. and they did not get a call or address until the 28th. They were besides themselves but he was just fine. Let's hang in there together. I read somewhere there was pictures of bootcamp on facebook. I should have checked the date before lost the post in my serch for Navy Bootcamp on facebook. Oh well.

have gotten my second letter, missed the call, but got voicemail. good to hear his voice, he called his Grandmother and brother so that was awesome. he is doing well now, first letter was not so good, but I know he is a hard worker and will endure. Has passed text book test so far. So that makes him feel better.

On Facebook, if you go to U.S.Navy Recruit Training Command, they have pictures that get posted when someone wins the Trivia contest. If they win they get to say what division they want a picture of posted. They used to post random pics of bootcamp but too many people got greedy about asking for certain divisions to be posted so they stopped doing that. :( They also have forums for us too and we have one for our division.
I haven't got a call yet either but I know it will happen eventually. 4 more weeks! We can do this! :)
