Alec's Mom,Nadine Anchor's Aweigh

He is gone. off to follow his desire. I am sure he is working hard. I told him before he left I was going to have my own boot camp. I have been lazy and need to lose some weight. So the idea was to get up everyday and work out like he is working out. Of course, it is my form of bootcamp, not THE bootcamp. I am South Beaching it for two weeks to clean up eating habits and start the weight loss. I am using the exercise program in Escape Your Shape, which I can do at home or at the gym. A colleague… Continue

manicmoon 2nd week of bootcamp

Well week two is now on its last legs. Still no letter from Maeghen or the navy wondering if she fell into the void but I received an email from another mother and she was wondering the samething. So Im resonable sure that she is not alone in the void. I know what could be happening to her by the videos and other's experiences but it sure would be nice to at least get a line from her.

Dawn ~Joseph's Mom PIR 12-24-08

PIR was the happiest day for me! Having my son in my arms was the best Christmas gift I could have dreamed of. The event itself was really awsome! It looked as if they worked for weeks just on it. I know that Joseph says they praticed only once but wow it didn't look that way. I still remember how proud I was when I first spoted him in the ranks! I teared up. I wanted to just go right out then and hug him so tight. I didn't think it would ever be time for that. Then we they released them for lea… Continue

Dana (G's Mom) The box already??

Wow! Reading all the other posts, I did not expect to get the box this soon. He arrived in GL on Monday so I thought it would be a week, at least. But when I came home from my daughter's dance class, my husband very casually said, "By the way, Garrett's box came". The stinker had already opened it. Inside were the clothes my son had intended to pitch or donate, a small drawstring bag that I recommended he use to keep all his papers and little stuff together since it would have folded up to the… Continue

Beverly Staton Boot Camp NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!

Oh - my - God!!!!!! It was my worst fear. I knew it would happen. Aaron was always a bit impulsive, but this time he had really done it. This was one mess he would not be able to get out of. And all of my concerns had made a shining debut into my/his reality. They were yelling at him over every little thing, he hated the food, the other guys, ALL the Chiefs, all the orders, even the darned bed!!! Now what? In the letter he'd written he wasn't really asking for advice, just angry. And, I think, k… Continue
