Woohoo I received a letter today from my son. I'm sooooo happy. The letter goes like this ....
Dear Mom, I'm doing fine...took some time to get the routine down and now everything is much better. PT is not bad and if people mess up they get IT (intensive training). He said "it's hard to do everything the way they want it done, but if you do it the way they want it done, everything is great...so reading between the lines, he is learning to do everything right the first time. He misses is girlfriend, friends, and me but is going to stay strong and he would make it through to graduation. He said that he marches a lot and said that it was fun! Wow is this my kid?
Ohhhhhh I'm so proud and cried through the whole letter - I'm feeling much better about everything! Wow My son is becoming a man in front of my eyes (well letter). Good stuff - Hope everyone gets a letter.

woohoo! and HOOYAH! (i've seen that alot on the navy page...ha!) Our SR's biggest frustration is that recruits "don't get it" about working together will get you places. After that initial letter, I thought I'd be able to get back to a better routine... NOW, we wait for the call! hah! hoping everyone gets theirs this week.

Still waiting to get added on the FB group.
Did all of you already book your flights? I'm coming from California and don't know if booking sooner or later is better.

HI!!! After wandering aimlessly I finally found the right group. MAN, there sure are a lot of SR. LOL. Just wanted to share that I got a call today from my SR. I must say as I was reading the below posts, this time around with my adopted daughter, it's different. She writes, she calls and stays in touch. When my son was in GL years ago, he didn't do any of it. I remember driving up to PIR not knowing whether they passed battlestations or not. THANK GOODNESS for N4M. I connected with another mom from his div/ship and SHE told me they were due to graduate. So for all of you who haven't heard from your SR, keep following these posts. You will get the info you need and a glimpse of how your Sailor is doing. thru this wonderful network of N4M. Somtimes kids don't know or understand how much it means to us to make sure they are okay, but as parents (trying to include the dads too-LOL) we worry, as moms our worry is 10 fold. So hang in there, you will get your call, letter, and info..
