<p>I spoke with my son yesterday , breifly on his cell phone. He is an emt for indoct . He told me they were having some problems with the server at the academy last week. Maybe that is the problem now?? Hope all the 2011 parents enjoy the calls home today. Cheer up parents with no letters. I only got one last year and it came 2 days before indoc was over. Some kids just arent likely to write. Drove me crazy too...but I guess I am over it. When I got to talk with him, it made it all better. Let us know about your calls.</p>
<p>We got one letter during Indoc as well. But the boy wrote everyday, journal style and after Indoc we received something like 14 pages. It was the most awesome read. Some of the things written had us in stitches. Mostly he wrote that he was tired but ok. Said he didn't have much time to go mail something on a daily basis. Keep the faith! Phone calls today!!</p>

You actually got a letter? It's been over a year and our mid still hasn't written.
Not very hopeful for the coming sea year either. Oh well, it just makes for more stories when he gets back home. Everyone else, don't be too upset if you don't get as many letters as you had hoped for....there just isn't time.</p>
<p>Pictures Days 5 through 9</p>

<p>Enjoy!!</p>
<p>You are the BEST!!! Can I send you some cookies????</p>
<p>Thank you, WYTL2009-B--you have the gratitude of many family members today!</p>
<p>Hey KPMarineOpsDad...good to hear from you. Say hi to OpsMOM for me.</p>
<p>WYTL2009: I love that you are posting pictures. Good group shots, but I'll never be able to see my kid in that huge clump ... Long shot of exercises, Long shot of wharf, long shot of boats.. Zounds. Hallway shot and my kid's in front! Woo Hoo! In focus and everything!!! (Also liked the boat shots, especially candidates catching up on some rest/sleep wherever they could)
This couldn't GET any better. </p>
<p>You're my hero. Please have EaglesMom send you cookies.... (Since she's my wife, I may get some leftovers)</p>
<p>Zonker and eaglesmom, thanks so much for the offer. Cookies will make any midshipman (or in your case candidate) happy. I'll PM you with my info.</p>
<p>Yes thanks for the photos. Us mom's (and dad's) await any opprtunity to see our kids and/or what they are doing! You may have more cookies than you all can eat!</p>
<p>We moms are so excited about sending cookies. Should we get together and have a "send some DI a cookie day :)</p>
<p>WTYL2009 prefers PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES (no chocolate). I'm already on it. He's the best and has enabled me to sleep at night. Thanks again WTYL2009!!</p>
<p>Okay, I believe this is Day 5 of no photos on-line (save WTYL2009's) - shall we man a riot?</p>
<p>We just heard from our state chapter president that there was a server problem over the weekend and that pics would be posted tomorrow. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>Thanks KPMOMx2! Can't wait to wade through all the photos!</p>
<p>I thought that might be the case...no IM's from mine in a while...and that is unusual...</p>
<p>"Please ignore the rumor that the photographer and camera dropped overboard - we did rescue the photographer, but the camera is swimming its way back to Japan. We have the camera and photographer and will be posting all the pictures for the last five days today (Tuesday, July 17, 2007) at around 2:00 PM. Please be patient. Thank you."</p>
<p>LOL!</p>
<p>More pictures are up.</p>

<p>Sorry the pictures seem to be the same type of events. Being on EMT duty limits when and where I can go while on watch. There's some fun things coming up soon for the candidates and I'll be sure to get pictures for y'all.</p>
<p>PS - MMAMom2011 . . . thanks for the cookies, they didn't last long. I'll probably be using that bakery when I get hungry in the future!!!</p>
