I was wondering when the album will be updated? My husband said that he recieved a sharp shotter badge and they took a picture of it and i was wanting to see it thank you the Rubalcava Family (PVT Steven Rubalcava RN 134)

Hi All, Sorry I have been so long in adding more photos. We have been busy, especially in the last week (as your Soldier may have told you). Please know that we are all doing as well as could be expected and are getting back to focusing on training. Anyway, I have FINALLY uploaded a large number of pictures that I had in my hard drive. Hopefully I will be able to stay on top of it from here on out! Thanks for your support! GATORS! CPT Owens

Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into our soldiers lifes at Ft. Benning. Would you please get shots of all the soldiers, I looked through all 654 and only caught a glimpse of my son twice. Thank you.

said rmemom1 2006.01.30 at 19:02:41 PST

Thank you so much for taking all these pictures. My Son, Pvt. Villasenor tells me everytime I talk to him, that he is learning so much and is loving every minute, good or bad. I would really love to see a picture of him. I tried finding one but couldn't find him. He did tell me what happened last week and I am sorry that you guys have to go through that. Hang in There!

said villasenoro 2006.01.30 at 21:26:25 PST

WOW!!! All these photo are great. I just want to congradulate all the memebers of first platoon on the obstical course on Monday!!!!

Capt. Owens, Thank you so much for your efforts on putting this together. It is wonderful to see what OUR boys are going thru to be the BEST! Congrats 1st platoon! HOOYA!

said armymomx2 2006.01.31 at 13:28:37 PST

Hi all, thanks for the support. I am sorry if I haven't taken any pictures of your Soldier yet, but since these are candid, not posed, photos of training it's kind of luck of the draw. I will certainly do my best to get pictures of all the Soldiers -- there's a lot of training left to be done! CPT Owens

said aco219in 2006.01.31 at 18:54:11 PST

CPT Owens how soon will we know to make arrangements to go to the graduation?

said rubalcava23 2006.02.02 at 12:26:22 PST

I appreciate looking at the many photos as it allows me a better iddea of what my son (Johnston) has been doing. Thank you sir!

said jenflute 2006.02.11 at 15:27:17 PST

Thanks for the updated pics of our boys!!! You've no idea how a parent's heart soars when they catch a glimpse of a son they've not seen in weeks. Keep up the great work.

said rmemom1 2006.02.15 at 16:44:21 PST

Wow seems like the boys are doing great! They do alot of team work. Thanks for letting us see what our husbands, fathers, and sons are doing while they are away from home. Their work is greatly appriciated by everyone not just by their loved ones. I have had people come up to me (my husband got me a army wife tee) and thank my husband for his work, they ask me if he is or has been in Iraq; I tell them that hes in bootcamp they still thank him for being as brave as he is for joining the United States Army. They also thank the men that have stepped up along with him. So CPT. Owens if you could tell them that their work is greatly appricated i know they would like to hear that.

said rubalcava23 2006.02.20 at 14:58:21 PST

I saw my husband in three pictures. It was a great feeling. Thanks CPT. Owens it means so much to see our soldiers. Thanks also for everything done for my husband PVT. Padron RN 238. I agree with rubalcava we are all proud of them.

said Padron02 2006.02.27 at 12:50:58 PST

Capt Owens: Thank you soo much for the pictures of all the soldiers especially my son. I am making a photo album about his journey with the military. How proud I am of him and the other sons, fathers and brothers. See you on Graduation Day.

said blmurphy102 2006.02.28 at 11:24:23 PST

hey Rubalcava it's cool to know that I have somebody to relate to since both of our husbands are in bootcamp. I was wondering if you had more information regarding relocation on our first duty station.

said Padron02 2006.03.01 at 18:33:52 PST

Thank you CPT Owens for posting pics. It is good to know that they are all doing okay in basic. I look forward to going to Sand Hill for graduation...it seems like only yesterday (17 years ago) I was there for my father's graduation. Now, I get to see my husband go through the same thing. Just when I thought I was done with military life, I am about to start all over again. :) Thanks again for the photos.

said purplebear07 2006.03.02 at 18:26:14 PST

Padron what kind of information are you look for? if you want you can email me and we can talk some more... imeldapicazo@aol.com

said rubalcava23 2006.03.08 at 13:32:52 PST

CPT Owens: Can we bring a cam corder on base to tape the graduation? I wanted to make sure before I did. I can't wait to see my son. Thank you......

said blmurphy102 2006.03.14 at 05:51:37 PST

We're back from the FTX! Now the REAL work begins -- getting everything cleaned, turned in, inspection, outprocessing, ticketing, and graduation. Your Soldiers will be very busy getting ready for Graduation but should have time to call home and let you know the Graduation plans. I will try to figure out a way to upload the graduation letter home that we sent out prior to Exodus that should answer most questions about Family Day / Turning Blue and Graduation. You are definitely welcome to bring a camcorder or camera to graduation. Thanks to everyone for your support!

said aco219in 2006.03.14 at 20:44:17 PST

AWESOME!!! i can't wait to see my husband at family day!!!

said rubalcava23 2006.03.16 at 19:49:25 PST

CPT Owens: Thank you so much for the pictures of all the soldiers. Will you be adding Graduation pictures to this website for those of us who can't make it? Thank you again for the photos...

said Rowdy302 2006.03.17 at 13:10:28 PST

Thank-You, Thank-You, Thank-You! God Bless you CPT Owens. I have enjoyed your pictures so much. They have been seen, and enjoyed by so many. I look forward to meeting you at graduation.

said armymomx2 2006.03.17 at 19:08:50 PST

CPT. Owens I know this is your last year... you've done a great job running the company. Good Luck with everytihng in life thank you for turning my husband into the man he is. Your a great person. Thank you The Rubalcava Family

said rubalcava23 2006.03.26 at 12:49:33 PST

CPT. Owens. Just returned home to Ohio from Graduation. Even though we had the benefit of seeing our son Corey Burke home for emergency leave, the ceremony was thrilling just the same. Wondering how do we get a copy of the footage that was taken over the two days. Especially interested in the tape of the turning blue. Thanks, JenBurkley
