My girl is also Div 261. Haven't spoken to her in over 2 weeks. I miss hearing her voice. Letters keep coming every Weds. She also had been sick with a sinus infection. Her last letters spoke of live-ammunition training and taking "official" portraits. We are now in countdown mode, Moms. We got this. HOOYAH!

I was so happy to hear from my daughter yesterday! She got to call me after the Captains cup got to compete in the relay race and the sea bag race. She also told me the gas chamber wasn't bad either it just made her tear up. I just can't believe how upbeat and happy she sounds every time she calls. She said her RDC's are really cool and bootcamp isn't bad at all. I'm so proud of her. I'm bummed that I will miss the I'm a Sailor call as we will be flying to great lakes that day.

Soccermom2, my son called yesterday too. I was pretty excited! I asked him about the captains cup, and he said "not us, but the brother division got second." He also said that the gas chamber didn't bother him, and he coughed a little bit when he had to start to talk, and also got a little teary. He mentioned that fire fighting was so much fun.
I'm going to try talking to the flight attendant about talking on my cell phone. I'm so bummed that we will also be flying out, and will miss the "I'm a sailor" call. I cannot wait....Friday cannot get here fast enough. I hope to meet you on Thursday :)
