Glad to hear Patrick is healing. I pray you are doing good Patrick's mom!
Thank you so much. I'm hanging in there and praying daily!
Do you think they will get to go to Ricky Heaven or Recruit Heaven tonight?
My girl said she thinks they will have the "pizza party" Sofa'smom was talking about on Sunday. She made me laugh, she said "I saw a little of recruit heaven mom when we are at the NEX, I saw pool tables, it looked awesome" LOL! She said they do Captain's Cup tomorrow, I told her GO DIVISION 047!! I know they were going to be able to get a few goodies at the NEX, she was excited about an energy drink :D
I am so exicted about the I am a Sailor Call, I forgot about Captain's Cup. That would be so great if division 47 could win captain cup for the co-ed division. I sure wish I could take some pictures in there of pizza party, captains cup, gas chambers, sailor cap ceremony for my scrapbook
@ CoMom92 that is so funny .... :-) ...GO DIVISION 047!!!!!!!!!!!
My Son said he thought they were going to be able to call on Sunday, did any of your sons or daughters say that as well? If we get calls be sure to ask who won captain cup so we can immediately post it. Go Division 47, Win the captains cup!!!!
As I type this our "Sailors" are competing in the Captain Cup. I am so excited to hear the results. Honestly as much as I am hoping they win Captains Cup, I am just really glad battle stations are over and we are that much closer to PIR!!
I read that division 52,an all male division won the captain cup. There is a first place for an all male division and a first place for a co-ed division. Has anyone heard who won first place for the co-ed division for captains cup?
In 5 days we will be watching our sailor graduate, I am so excited. The weather looks clear of rain and/or snow for the week so we should all have good conditions for travel. It looks cold, the highs in the 30's, remember I am from Phoenix, AZ and it was 70 here yesterday so the high 30's is very cold for me. Everybody remember your "matching scarfs" so we can spot each other at sarges and PIR. Did I miss anyone on a scarf?
I wore my scarf yesterday :D My husband and I went on a motorcycle ride to do street ministry. It was 60 here yesterday, so a little chilly on the motorcycle, but the scarf was very warm. Everyone said what a sweet thing it was for you to do for our division Navy Mom and I couldn't agree more!!
