Did everyone get the holiday letter from new CO Carullo? Thought it was a nice touch this time of year. Seems to be a commanding officer that understands his resposibilities. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Hi Marie I think if your son scored a 99% on his ASVAB he probably did not need to take another test to qualify. I certainly might be wrong, but I remember my son telling me if he had scored a couple of points higher on his ASVAB he would not have n…

Hi Holly,
Hope you are doing well. Yes Gregory is doing well so far. We will go see him in 2 weeks; can't wait. I sent him a package 2 days ago. I send few civilian closes and snacks. Its sound like your son is doing well too. It will nice if you get chance to visit him in Hawaii. A lot people say its very beautiful over there.

Thank you and good luck to you and your family.
