I am right there with you... The excitement builds everyday that we get closer to the 23rd of January. What a proud moment it will be. My older son went to the Army and i remember that proud mother moment when you had his BC graduation. Just seeing those boys in uniform brings tears to a mom.... I am so looking forward to this one as well. Gives me goose bumps thinking about the moment I get to see his eyes and know that everything is right with him as well.

I received a call from my son on Friday evening (SHIP 02 DIV 911). A voice has never sounded as good as his did.
He said the guys in his DIV are a great group of guys and so are the RDC's. He said they are all awesome people and that they lean on each other for alot. He is happy with his choice to join the Navy. He said alot of the recruits in his DIV got sick the first week but mostly everyone is over it. He said they took his wisdom teeth out but gave him good pain meds for afterwards.
All in all he is doing really well. We talked for about 15 mins because he still needed to call his father and his girlfriend, all together I think he was given 40 mins to call home because of scoring high on his first academic test. It was so nice to hear his voice, it soothed any worries I was having. He is thriving in the Navy enviorment and loves the camaraderie amongst his DIV.
He said he has only gotten 2 letters from me but I have sent about 12. I imagine the holidays have things delayed.
By the way...my SR turns 18 on Christmas morning...I miss him so much.

So happy you got your call Melanie!! Yes our SR said he is with a great group as well and when we heard from ours, he also said he scored well on a test. Said he has to re-take the swim test though...because he was not treading water well..but he said he is ready for the re-test...Merry Christmas and hopefully we get to hear from our SRs again by Christmas!!
