RE: Writing To Future Marines In Bootcamp: Letters 7 and 3.
This new Marine mom is headed to South Carolina on Tuesday :D
I didn't get a phone call but honestly did not expect to. He called his lady love...which is not me. LOL She was so surprised and excited that she could barely speak but got on Skype to tell me the great news. He sounds great and cannot wait for hugs...and FOOD. Lots and lots of food. I fear my grocery bill may triple in the short visit. LOL
As for the second recruit... I cannot believe he's beginning Phase III already. He qualified expert in Table I Firing and says he's healthy. I don't have any updates on the Oscar recruit. I should chase down her mom to ask. I believe she was staying on base to recover.
I wish I could remember how long a recruit has to finish bootcamp before they are completely recycled. If she gets medical clearance before the time frame, she can join a platoon where she left off in training. If not, she has to start from training day 1. Sending up prayers and positive thoughts for her!
Congratulations! I remember when the first of them set out and how you felt. Let the FOOD flow!
It's Tuesday! Enjoy your trip. I am sure there will be lots of good food flowing. Please tell me if you notice a difference in the way he eats, lol.
I was wondering about the recycling of the Oscar Recruit myself. I've known a few people in the Army who were able to heal and start off training where they left off but I was not sure how that worked for the Marines. Hopefully, she will be able to heal in time. She was so close!
