Got me letter today! Robert is Ship 14, Div 94. Anyothers? Does anyone know where Keisha ended up? Yesterday I got to visit with a friend of my son's who just graduated BC. She saw Robert in the uniform processing line last Thursday at GL, gave him a quick "Hi" as she passed him, got a "gentle" reprimand from the RDC, while my son kept quiet! LOL. She said he looked great, that this RDC is one she had and he's good, and that Robert didn't get in trouble! It was a nice bonus!

Well we got a suprise last night. My son was able to call his wife!! She called me crying saying that she just got off the phone with him and they were able to talk for about 20 minutes!! He said he has a great group, really getting along with the people in charge, and loves it!! This made me feel better. He told her he cried the first few nights missing family but it's getting better for all of them. They are learning to lean on each other which is GREAT!! We were able to tell him the due date was off by a month on the baby so he won't get all freaked out when he the baby comes so that was cool. His commander even is going to let him call the hosptial when his wife is in having the baby so he was very happy with that. I just thought I would share and let you other moms know sounds like our kids are doing great.

How is everyone doing now that it is almost a week! Called and left a message for Christopher's recruiter to see if I coudl get an address! Cleaned his room yesterday as his cousin is going to be staying in there while they are up for Christmas. Was kind of snappy at my husband and realized later it was probably cause I was missing the sloppy kid! Hope everyone is doing fine, can't wait to get an address so I can send letters and get the address to other friends and family. Good Wishes and Merry Christmas to all. I guess we will all see each other at PIR in February! It will fly by, I am sure of it!

Got my box today! Will call the recruiters on Monday to get his address!

Our recruiter told us we would get the address within 72 hrs. We called the recruiter today and he was able to call Great Lakes and get the information for us. A friends of my sons went in and his family didn't know about that. He didn't have any contact with family for three weeks until he called them and gave them the address himself...how sad. I am so glad for this website otherwise that could have been my son waiting to hear from us!!!

Karen - there was no address our box. Ari's recruiter sent me an email with it yesterday, I think that is the only way you can get it other than waiting for the form letter. Sorry!!!

I couldn't believe how big the box was. It was wonderful to see her handwriting and the quick note on the inside of the box!

Mom couldn't find an address so I guess I will have to wait until I get home! AHHH

We got the box today too, I am at work but my mom called to tell me it had arrived, I am hoping to know what ship he is on as well. Maybe I will call her and have her open it!

Not yet, Janet. Hopin to get my box today since it seems like many of you did. At work right now, but when I get home I'll check the mail. If, not, I'll be calling the recruiter on Monday. :-)

We got the box today, they didn't let her keep much of anything but she knew it was a risk. My husband got it, opened it and called me at the office to talk me through it. I was a bit bummed because I have read about some kids leaving notes inside...my hubs said no. Then, just as he was getting ready to throw the box away he said "WAIT, she wrote something on the inside of the box..."LOVE YOU!". I think I am going to take it to Hobby Lobby this weekend and have it framed! Ari Ship 14 Div 098, have not found anyone else with that division...still looking though!

JB's Mom same ship, different division. I was glad my husband got the box today so I didn't have to open it last night while he was at the firehouse...don't know if I could have done it by myself!

Edsmom How are you doing?

Teri have you found out what ship/division Robert is in?
