Jill, Is he still in bootcamp?
Hi Provjones, I think they extract all the new recruit's wisdom teeth. My son had the same experience as did a few of his buddies. I felt just like you did about it!
Dear kgcfsu,
Actually, Treasure Island is a barrier island right on the Tampa Bay/Gulf area. Have a nice day, Sue
I'm in Treasure Island. My son just graduated from the Groton, CT submarine school and now he's a "torpedo man" :). He was sent to Seattle Washington. It seems so far away :( He is out for a week right now having his wisdom teeth pulled. I sure wi...

- Hi Sue I was wondering about your comment about wisdom teeth is that something they do to every recruit? It seems to me that after that type of surgery you have to rest. They did not do that during boot camp I hope.

Debra - Jason's mom!!! said… - Thanks Sue! I did get a letter today! It wasn't very good. He is doubting himself, wondering why he did this & feeling so alone. I have been writing everyday & encouraging him. So I hope it will get better, I know it will. But my heart breaks for him.
Your son is very handsome & I'm sure you are so proud. I'm glad to read that he is doing well & it gives me hope for Jason, he just has to make it through BC!
Thanks for the encouragement!

Kim from Tennessee said… - Sue, We fly out of Nashville tomorrow afternoon. I'll be packing today. You have to dress in layers to stay warm and I'm dreading the cold. I bought long underwear for my daughter and myself. I already had some for my husband so he was well taken care of in that department. I am still a Florida girl at heart but being with my new Sailor will warm my heart. Nothing could keep our family away. Hope to meet you at Flanagan's.

- Hi Sue, Hans is in Division 052. He is in with Mary's son Dan. We are getting excited too. We are praying we have good weather for that weekend. We get cold weather, some snow here in Tennessee, but nothing like they receive there in Illinois. We are flying up there on Thursday January 1 in the afternoon and plan on renting a car. We are staying at the Naval Lodge. We will have Christmas with my in laws. We get together with them as they live here. My family lives now in Fort Myers Fl.

- Hi Sue, It has been a long time since I lived in Florida so I am not sure if I know the Trade Wind Resort. I was born in Miami and my family moved to Pinellas County when I was three. My husband and I moved to Tennessee twenty three years ago shortly after Hans turned one. I have only been back to Florida a few times. I can't wait until January 2. Knowing PIR is coming up is helping my family deal with not having Hans for Christmas.

My son left on November 5, 2008 and graduated from boot camp on January 2. It was the happiest day I can remember. It seemed like boot camp went on forever due to the limited contact with my son. It did end and had a happy ending. He's in Groton now in A school and is loving life.
