MountainMama(ship3 div081) said… - Did she say when the next physical fitness test is? I am very worried about this because my son has been on Light Limited Duty because of the knee and unable to run. He was not in great shape when he left and I don't see how he will pass if he doesn't start running soon. Glad to know about the Marlinspike. He didn't mention anything about that. Congrats on the swimming test. That was only thing I didn't worry about with my son.

That's good. My son is pretty short on details. His letters today were all about the knee problem. He had two appointments this morning, and I don't know if I can wait another week to find out how they went, but I don't have a choice.
He did say that on Jan.20, they were on training day 3-5 and that he had gotten gotten 3 inspection stickers worth 5 minute phone call each, but that he gave one away to a guy who didn't get any. I hope things are going well for your daughter. I saw her picture....very cute!

If your profile or profile name contains last name (even if it is different from your rct/sailor)your rct/sailors first name or your e -mail address, I recommend that you change it for the safety of your sailor. Remember, this is a public site and anyone can read comments posted here.
Be wary of who you friend…before you accept a friend go to their page and see how active they are, the comments left, groups they’ve joined. If they have a lot of friends but no groups, no comments, click ignore and DO NOT FRIEND THEM…it is likely they are spammers, e-mail address harvesting

There is a group for each month rcts leave "Leavin for Boot Camp in (month they leave)" search groups and join this group...it will have info as well as connect you with other N4M's whose rcts leave that month.

Anna said… Welcome Jill!!! Glad to have you join us. Have you heard from your daughter or received your "kid in a box" yet? Her recruiter should be able to get her address for you in 3-4 days and then you can start sending her letters right away!!! Let us know if there is anything we can help you with!!!

Jill,
I saw a post by you and I wanted to tell you about a group you may be interested in - Moms of Daughters 2. We are a friendly, caring, supportive group of moms with daughters in all stages of their Navy career - from newbies to those who have been in for several years. We'd love to have you jump in and join our chats. We like to talk about everything from our jobs, family, the weather, and how proud we are of our girls. We're also there to help each other when we are hurting because we miss them so. I'll give you the link at the end - we look forward to getting to know you and your sailor. I'm also from the state of OH and there is an OH group as well. I grew up in Chardon and when I moved back a few years ago, we lived in Mentor. Welcome to Navy4Moms!!!!
