Hi Shipmates!
My daughter Lucie is singing in the choir and actually says she's having a great time at boot camp! The food and her new friends are great, her RDCs are the best on the base and give them their mail as soon as it comes in. From what I understand, that doesn't happen in every division..! We are excited to go up for Thanksgiving "Adopt a Sailor" and stay thru to the graduation weekend. Can't wait to meet you guys! Is anyone else going up for Thanksgiving? Let me know! We've never been to Chicago and we're not quite sure where to get great turkey dinner.

Hi NavyMom711, so glad you get to go for Thanksgiving!!! I'm not able to go for the whole week (work..ugh) but will be there for PIR. If you get to meet any of the other girls in the division, could you give my girl a big hug from me? She is a flute player, name is EJ. It would mean an awful lot to us!!!

Hi NavyMom711, I am so proud of these kids getting to do what they love to do (singing, playing music, drill) in boot camp!!! So awesome!!! Thank you for being so kind, just giving EJ a huge hug for us would mean so very much to us!!! I can't wait to see her and am looking forward to seeing them perform at PIR.
