lauraleigh629 - loved the letter from your son - thanks for sharing. I will have to ask my daughter if she knew anything about that incident. Yes, God does work in mysterious ways. Your son sounds like a nice young man and I know you must be so proud of him. Funny, my daughter said that being in boot camp has brought her closer to God and that she is praying more now than she used to. Even though my daughter is a little older than some of the ones in boot camp (she just turned 24), I definitely see that she has matured some in that short period of time. Just 2 more weeks!!!

Received a letter Thursday. But someone else on either this site or the Navy Recruit site. Said we would get a phone call 21st or 22nd. That they would no longer be recruits , They would become Sailors!!!! Hoping for them all for this time. I'm sure they have worked hard for this.

Her letter was dated the 10th. The last phone call we got was that Friday but I would not worry too much as she said that they were in the middle of hell week and the weekend was in the middle of that week so I know they are really busy. I imagine that they are gearing up for BattleStations and their I'm a sailor phone call. If you don't get that one, then I would start to worry.
