I just got a letter dated 1/15 saying it would be the last letters they would be writing for bootcamp, because they would be real busy in the coming days.

 

GREAT news he ran his mile and half in 12 minutes and 9 seconds and had to be under 12 minutes and 15 seconds. Wow what a relief.

 

He said the gas chamber hurt and really burn your throat.

 

He said they are doing test 3 on the 17th(he wrote this on the 15th).

 

He said he really is excited for battle stations.

I haven't gotten a letter lately :(

I am sure you will get one tomorrow. I thought I heard one of the moms of the girls say that on the 12th was the last day they could write letters. I don't know why Derek got to write one dated the 15th.  Just think this time tomorrow hopefully we have all gotten our I am Sailor Call. Wow this has been such a roller coaster ride.

Well even better than a letter is the phone call that we all are going to be getting tomorrow. The second we get our calls lets post them on fb and here.

I know my daughter is looking forward to "recruit heaven".  She enjoys playing pool, so I know sh ewill be happy about that.  And if there are any energy drinks she will probably have one of those and some chocolate, and then probably HURL!  LOL!  I think she is looking forward to even the smallest bit of fun.  And every day brings me closer to next Thurs.

When do they get to go to 'recruit heaven"?

 when my daughter graduated , they had a pizza party , lots of candy , energy drinks , they went shopping for make up for grad... she was so excited :-)

Did they have the pizza party after battle stations but before pir?

My daugther will be in so ecstatic if they have pizza and energy drinks LOL!

 

After battle stations ...before PIR ...

the area next to the password for the gate pass was blank...why is that?

sofas mom: I just pm'd  you the password for parking. Let me know you got it.
