Cool! Are you a first time mom in the navy? I am. Just looking for someone to connect with that has a son/daughter in the same division. Have you heard from him yet? I received a letter this past week that was Very Short. Have not received a phone call. Hoping to get one soon.

I'm with you. I can't wait to hear his voice and hear how he is doing. Not being able to talk to him is by far the hardest part!
Have you made your hotel res. yet? We made them after we got our letter for fear there wouldn't be any rooms left. Perhaps I was a little over zealous! -

Received TWO letters from my son Jordan today. Loves his bunkmate, says it has been smooth sailing since after the 1st week which was HELL. Has already passed his physical fitness and swimming test and will be a "Bodysnatcher" at his PIR and the two PIRs prior to that. Got the peanut butter shot, hurt for four days, has had his wisdom teeth pulled and had a two day mini vacation after that. Said he might be able to make a phone call this Friday, the 27th and if we don't answer the phone may not hear from him again until close to the end of boot camp. He misses his dog and wants us to bring her to Chicago so he can see her. Guess we'll have to stay at a Motel 6. Thinks he will have to check in to his "A" school after PIR and before he can leave with us but not sure. He sounded awesome - so happy to hear from him I cried. Hope all you moms get a letter soon.
