If you guys ever want to chat with you cadets privately, we have live chat and you have the ability to set up a temporary Private chat room.

I also had the chance to chat with our girl on Facebook. We (the whole family, except dad, who is on his way to Colorado Springs) was on chatting with her at one time. I think this has been the best day since DDI; even better, because I don't feel sad after we finished. I know we can be in touch again!

Way to GO J.NordicSkier7! Congratulations!!! Hi I'm Mikil's mom. You might remember her from before BCT. She posted a greeting today also. She's been in Executioners for BCT and in CS-19 for the academic year. Anyway, I just wanted to send my regards and congrats to you on completion of BCT! Great Job!!!

I just realized after catching up with my reading on the forum that you are there already. Good for you! my DH, Joe should be arriving in Denver in about 30 minutes. His flight out of DC was delayed or he'd be there already. I am so happy that you all can be there. I wish I could too...but I will enjoy it through you all! Have a wonderful couple days!

Jackie,

I'm assuming that it's OK for the cadets to be on facebook. But, if someone knows otherwise, please feel free to correct me!

My daughter Jessica is in CS19 and has previously used Facebook so I am pretty excited to hear from her. How about information on how she connects with this community? Does anyone know how much the cadets use this site?

Hi...Rachel was on the site before her dad and me. As a matter of fact, she introduced us to it. When Joe sees the girls on Wednesday for lunch, I will have him talk to them about it. If she needs any help, Rachel will give her the information. By the way, I saw that she, Rachel, and Olivia are all friends on facebook already. I believe Rachel told her dad that Jess and Rachel are no longer room mates, but still in the same area. Have a good evening.

Just got a note from my son - Roadrunners - 32 (Hellcats).

Mom is worried about his health - Jack's Hack, just got over the swine flu, dislocated his shoulder first week at Jack's. He seems to be pretty upbeat though.

lebenrock, your son is in my squad!!! And don't worry, Jacks hack goes away eventually, but they will all be coughing for a while. Sounds like he had a rough time though, wow. I will be gone the rest of this week, but when I get back, if your son needs anything, I am willing to help

They are still on government computers and a government-run web LAN...so just tell them to be careful what they post because their computers WILL be monitored at all times.

Thanks for the offer, I'm sure Nathan would appreciate it. The one thing we'd like to know soon is if we can send vitamins - Vitamin C, multi, B Complex, garlic - that sort of thing. Stuff we know from experience that helps with the healing process. We'd pack up a box and send it, but we don't want to cause issues or have it get tossed (natural vitamins are expensive).
