Navy Dads

This Discussion is intended as a place where parents and other loved ones who have SRs with a PIR of 30 November to gather and meet-and-greet and talk about this adventure.  Of course, I suppose anyone is welcome. 

If anyone knows of others on facebook and navyformoms.com, please direct them this way, too.

Hopefully, this will be a place where we can share stories about phonecalls and letters from our SRs. 

And I look forward, already, to meeting all of y'all at PIR.

Sincerely,

Scott

Attention on deck!

Hello Guys...

I am so happy ...today I received Cesar's fisrt letter...I am not worried any more...

He sounds really happy...He says that he is doing great, he feels happy, he is healthy and physically and mentally he is doing great. He says that the only thing he wishes..is for more time to be able to communicate with us. He is asking for everyone of us to write to him...a lot of letters ..he will find the time to write back.

He says that he hopes we are happy and that he wants to finish his Boot Camp to make us very proud..We already are proud of him...A Lotttt !!!

We also got a letter today, he said it is tough but he is toughing it out. He said they PT them to death when any of the mess up. He said he passed the PFA with a 12:05 mile and a half, 79 sit ups and 74 push ups. He said he is in the Alpha Group (can anyone tell me what the Alpha Group is). He said they had to wait two weeks once they arrived to start P Days. He said he has a sinus infection and ask for prayers. He said the RTC's are pretty funny. He said he gets home sick every now and then but he's ok.

Man, we can't wait for PIR!! It was good to hear from him!!

that's a good PFA

That is great.. looks like almos everybody is getting letter and phone calls finally...

Believe me...I can't wait either for PIR...I am counting the days 35 more days and we all will be able to see our sons or daughthers.... Thanks God !!! Cesar is also doing good he sounded very happy on the letter...that gave me strenght and tranquility....

May you all have a great weekend and God Bless You !!

Yesterday, I felt like the luckiest gal in the world, a phone call and a letter all in the same day!  Amazing!  My SR sounded upbeat, said the food was good, that he was eating quite a bit but not to worry because they were working it off.  He said division 021 was getting in trouble quite a bit, so they were losing some privileges.  Such as I have noticed on facebook, some guys got a 50 minute phone call.  My guy only got 12 min. 45 sec..Oh well, I will take every second I can get.  It was just so great to hear his voice again!
