Hi Guys,
My son called on the 4th with great news, he received a 5.0 on a test and he was able to go to recruit heaven! We talked on the phone for a whole hour, it was so wonderful, he spend 10 minutes just telling me details in the proper way to iron, clean, make beds; and other things that I couldn't begin to understand. He also said that we were allowed to have 4 people come to PIR; the first time he called, he told me 3. So I'm glad that our whole family will be able to go and experience this together.
Anywho, I find myself tearing up at the littlest things and crying at the site of his pictures. I'm doing o.k, but will have to go through this in the summer again when my DAUGHTER leaves for Navy bootcamp! -

Sorry @ Jcatherine. That was my last phone call as well. My SR said that there was a big test and that the entire division passed. So good news that no one will be held back. Hope you hear something soon!

I finally did get a phone call from my son, but it was bad news. He is being discharged and has been moved to another Division pending his return home. He was able to get a waiver for having been treated for ADD when he was younger, but apparently the stress of boot camp caused whatever it was that causes him to be unable to concentrate (we will don't think it's ADD, but I guess we'll have to look into it) has come back in spades. He said he's been unable to remember the things he been supposed to be learning and even after someone has just told him something, he can't seem to get it to stick. He started having nightmares about his rating as an Aviation Structural Mechanic because he is afraid that if he forgets something in that situation he could get someone killed. He was so sad and so upset. Obviously, I'm sad and upset too, but I'm still very proud of him. He worked so hard, but it seems this is just not going to work out for him. It took a great deal of maturity and strength for him to go and talk to them about his concerns and I'm proud of him for that. His discharge will be medically based and honorable, of course. The process apparently takes 3 weeks before he will come home.
I really thought he was doing well and the last I'd heard he'd aced his inspection and got Recruit Heaven, so this was a shock, but what can you do? Anyway, I'll be signing off from the website shortly and I wish all of you and your Recruits the very best. -

Hello all!! Daughter Mary is in DIV 083 Ship 14 USS Arizona. Excited to be able to get to see her again soon. Got a letter today. Said they received an academic flag to carry and that they are trying for their weapons flag next. Said the weather is horrible and that they all look like a camo snowmen. Said it was -10 when she wrote this. She said she has been reading the group inspirational stuff and it is helping them a lot. She said that a lot of the girls parents would like to go out to dinner after graduation. She said she wants pictures and makeup for pictures…I sent the makeup….Still a lady.. LOL. Need ink to print off pictures….Hope to meet all of you soon. Where is everyone staying? Chicago or Great Lakes…gonna check out the MPR site for direction.
