Got super frustrating letter today. No info on orders cause the website was down. He's super bummed, said he's missin us like crazy, bawled his eye out over the hand print turkeys I had the kids make him. Said they most likely won't have hall if fame cause couple I the guys got written up by the chief fr talking in the halls. AND to top it off family sent him letters with bad news about his Grandpa!!! Makes me fruious!!! Right before battlestations too. I wan to make a huge fuss about it with them but there's no point since we are almost done with this. I will make sure they will not have his address next time tho!!
Ready for our phone call after BS21. Kinda freaking out about signing a lease without l knowing what's going on. It's only month to month, but I don't want to pay for rent ne t month if we are moving to FL. -

Oh my GOSH! They didn't!! Ugh . . . so sorry you are having these issues. I hope everything works out for you and your moving situation.
We didn't give T's address to my husband's side of the family for the same reason . . .

Ah what a bummer! You were so close to finding out about the orders!! Ugh! So now you have to wait till Fridays call to find out?
Sorry to the hear that about hall of fame. I was really hoping they would get it!!
So sweet about the little turkey drawings :( But Yay! Not much longer!!
And your poor husband with those dear john letters. Sincerely sounds like he doesn't like that part.
One of my sons friends in our div was injured and moved to a different grad date. Is that the same as ASMO'd?
Hoping to get my last letter tomorrow. I sent mine to him today. Sure going to miss the letters back and forth but can't wait until next week!!!
Good Night Ladies!

No, he mentioned this person getting seen those cause of something they did, not held back. I didn't think they would be sending anyone home this late in BC. Figured if they've made it this far they were there for a reason so if there was issues they would just hold them to another PIR date, but I guess that's not the case.
We still plan to write and sen paintings when he's in Aschool. I think it helps the kids too, knowin they are sending stuff to Daddy. My husband is a huge one for cards too. He loves them, so ill surprise him a couple times. -

That's terrible about his family, what were they thinking? Thank goodness we're so close, hope he's able to put everything aside and finish strong!

There is a reason his parents wherent given the address. Most of his family we don't talk to, the ones we still do like to talk about the crazy part of the family(his parents) so it doesn't surprise me they said something, but I expected complaining about his parents not health issues with grandpa.

K now for my none vent real update...lol
Said he handed out another dear john letter last week. The couple was engaged and in their 20s. Also someone got ASMO'D(doesn't say who).
They had/have(wasn't clear on exactly when) final fitness test, written test #3, 3 days of firefighting, gas chambers, drill and personal inspection. This is all things they need to pass before even starting BS21! -
