Each day is getting better...Also a suggestion...

[iheartmycadet]

I have to say ladies, I miss my baby but after hearing from him last night for the first time, it took a big weight off my shoulders. Some days are better than others (even though today is only day 3) but it's getting better for me. Just knowing that he loves what he is doing and that this is his dream is enough for me.


I just told another girlfriend of a cadet that might I suggest if you get lonely or sad at night to sleep with a stuffed animal he has gotten you or sleep in one of his shirts. It's really helped me a lot lately. I don't feel so alone and it makes me feel more close to him. So try it if your sad or lonely at night, I hope it helps.

Also, I hope you all have heard from your boyfriends/husbands in the last few days and if not, I hope tonight for you. Good luck to all!

I completely understand exactly what you just said. I too feel amazingly better that I got the phone call last night from him. I think it might be just being able to hear his voice, and knowing he’s ok. I have to admit, I sleep with one of his shirts and his pillow. But at least it gives me something to snuggle with. After talking to him last night I feel so much better about everything. It was driving me crazy not knowing if he was getting yelled at or holding out his arms for 5 minutes. Now I feel like he will be ok. And I told him that too. It’s all about adjusting.

P.S. He did have to hold his arms out but only for 2 minutes. :doh:

Well I am so glad that you got a phone call too. It totally made me feel better too. :biggrin: I am glad that you find some comfort in sleeping in his t-shirt and a pillow. It really makes me feel comfortable at night as well.

No phone call tonight but I hope that he's doing amazing still! Good luck honey! I love you!

The phone call that I got last night was to tell me not to expect a call tonight so I think they are all pretty busy. I'm still sitting on standby though JUST IN CASE I get a call before 10pm. =)

[iheartmycadet]

I am doing the same thing. I am still very hopeful. I've heard from a few of the girls that they probably wont be calling tonight but a girl can hope right?

PT is starting today and they wont be let out till probably pretty late. don't expect a call or at least a long one tonight..........:sad:

I hope PT goes well for all!!! Hubby said that the food was not that great and he hasn't really been eating with all the rushing etc. He has been drinking a lot of water though- because they haven't been eating too well, I hope their bodies will be ok for the rigorous exercises and running they will be doing!

[iheartmycadet]

Im sure they will be fine. Their bodies just have to get used to it.

I did eventually get a phone call last night. It was really great to hear his voice. I was told that they are going to meet the P.T. staff today and then start P.T. officially tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. They have a lot of studying to do I think so if we all don't get phone calls, that is why. Also, my b/f told me that they have a test right before liberty on Friday so if people don't pass it, they don't get to leave. Good luck to everyone. I sure hope I get to see my baby!

Trust me, he will be sore. When he gets home, give him a big hug, tell him you love him, and make him a nice home cooked meal. You cannot imagine what that will do for him. Sit down at the table and have a conversation that has nothing to do with the CHP. Afterwards, talk about his week (he is gonna tell you anyway). Make it a standing rule there will be no CHP during dinner. Trust me on this, the no CHP during dinner is the best advice I can give and it has been a secret that you will find is well worth it!

Great advice! I have been working on his dinner for tomorrow night all day today (his favorite that we usually only make at Christmas!). Although it will be hot, he said he learned really quick to not eat hot food at the academy....Burned tongues are not so much fun I guess. :doh: I am putting away the five minute egg timer too. :wink:

Hopefully he gets to come home after the test tomorrow.

I am so excited Week one DOWN!!!! WHOO HOOO!!!

[iheartmycadet]

Me too! I just cant wait. I definetly wont have a problem giving him a big hug and a kiss and telling him that I love him so much. The dinner talk discussions are a great idea...I love it....NO CHP TALK! He probably doesn't want to think about it anyway. No cadet probably will want to.

[iheartmycadet]

I need to correct myself now because he did encourage me to ask some questions. He wanted to answer any questions I had about his first week. I didn't talk about it all night but the first night it was hard to talk about anything else. It was so interesting and he was so happy to talk about it.
