Me either:( Was so rushing home from work, hoping for something but no-go.I see it is just 3 degrees at BC now! Thank God they don't have to be outside! Well, tomorrow is my son's birthday:( I know they are taught that there are no special days in the Navy but I am sure there will be some time that he'll have to think about being away for his birthday...I know there won't be a minute that I won't be thinking about it. I am sooo grateful that there is but 27 days left before we are all celebrating. Maybe I'll get a letter for his birthday...I know our family has really extended themselves to send cards his way. Hope it helps.

Well, got my letter! Whew! He wrote last week, this one week off thing is a killer!, and it must have been on a low energy day because he sounded so blue :( Have any of you heard about how the division is fending? I haven't gotten any information about the technicalities of stuff like any tests or milestones to see if they are where they need to be and on track for PIR. Ugh...a son just doesn't write like I imagine a daughter would! Well, luckily God is in control and not me! I am sure they are doing just fabulous but the Chief can't let them know that for fear they would slack. Boy, this Navy mindset is not a mom's mindset!

So I got two letters yesterday from my S.R. I was surprised because i also recieved a letter on wednesdayEven though most of the letter is lovey dovey. He also said that they get to write on Tuesday's and Thursday's now. He said that letters should be coming more often if they behave and keep doing right. He also said that they had times were they sit around and have time to theirself. My boyfriend said he spends all the time writing me and his mother. Lol. In the letter it also said that they got in trouble again, but he goes to church to take his mind off of the getting in trouble thing. He said he is much stronger now and that he has passed his 1st test and his 3 evaluations. Whatever that means, I'm just glad that he's passes and he's doing better. The first letter compared to the letters now are much different and a lot happier then the first letter. I glad that he's getting through. I hope that this helps any other mom's but then again the different S.R's maybe having different experiences... My boyfriends birthday is next week also. My roomates and I are going to send him a card with a bunch of pictures. We also wanted to try send him a card that you can record your voice. I wasn't sure if they would be able to get cards like that... Is that considered cheating? Lol

Don't send any cards with sound or voice. My husband strictly forbid me from doing so. He said they currently have a wall of shame there, with things the recruits weren't supposed to get!
Sounds like our division is not working fantastically together. I hope that in this next week they can really pull it together and work as a team!!!
IT'S ALMOST HERE

In his words a lot of talkers. He said there are so many of them there trying to excel and do the right thing but then there is this handful of guys that are ruining it for the group with lack of respect, mouthing off, etc.
They were made to stand in front of a TV at attention and watch this 9/11 tribute it had the voice of a young girl reading her father who had died a letter 1 year later, then 5 years later, then 10 years later. A lot of the guys were in tears. And after the video finished the RDC's said " This is why you are here"
Ken gave me the name of the video and I youtubed it.....it was pretty sad.

Same thing my recruit said. A lot of people are very disrespecful and have the nerve to mouth off the their P.R.'s which i think is crazy. He said that it has gotten better but the lack of respect for others is something that he's never scene before. He also said he hate when people mess up because they mess up for him. I told him that he has to work as a team, but i can understand where he's coming from because he already come from a unstable background. He said he's trying his hardedt and wants me to keep praying for him.
what is the name of the youtube video i would like to watch it.

yes but in their eyes, all of them need to work together, because if one messes up they all suffer.
