Ship 11 Div 134 PIR 4/27/12
I just got the letter late yesterday. My son arrived at GL on 3/1. I thought we might be pushing it to make the 4/27 date, but happily surprised. Got a GREAT note on the back of the letter... Has he changed this much already that he seems to really miss us? Wow!
Hoping to connect with other 11/134 moms. Let me know. :D Hang in there! We're gonna make it, just like our kids! :D

Okay everyone i got another letter today and my baby said her HELL WEEK is over so she will most definitely be in graduation April 27th. She said she passed everything but they have inspection Monday which is today and she said she ace'd the first inspection so this one will be a breeze. She said for me to pass her good news and she ole it all to me because when she was doing her Physical training assessment all she keep saying in her head is this is for my momma(teary)she even passed her swimming test with flyying colors. She said their Boot Camp is basically over now and they are getting ready for graduation. They got the rest of their uniforms so she is good to go.YAYYYYY im so happy and proud...i can even breathe!!!

After 40 days at boot camp... I finally received a letter from my son... he was very direct and had a lot to say about boot camp... he's looking forward to graduation and some personal accomplishments he wants to make before boot camp ends... strongly dislikes the morning "wake up" calls... he was sick last week and made reference to the many in his division that were also sick... but he sounds very positive... and I'm a happy mom... I'm getting excited for PIR...

My daughter said there was a lot of ppl sick with a virus. I hope he is doing fine now because i know being sick and having to take orders can some times be difficult if your body is not up to the push. Im glad its almost over now(wipes forehead)

Wonder how every did on their second round of assessments. I received a letter yesterday that my SR wrote Sunday that said they havent really been doing anything but the second round was this week but she didnt seem to be afraid...im guessing because the hard part for her is over and once she conquered her fears she said everything will be a breeze but i dont want her to get to cocky and fail something. Well im gonna stay prayerful for all the SR and hope that we all get that "Im A Sailor" call(lol).
