Nice to meet you guys! I have not gotten a letter yet but I did receive a phone call from him yesterday and he said that they were able to send letters out this week, so I am sure you will be getting a letter from him very soon
-
-
Maybe that means we'll get a phone call soon too!
Have you been writing your boyfriend letters? I was just wondering if he said anything about getting mail yet. I'm just hoping mine has gotten some of his letters already.
-
-
I've been writing him almost every day, he said that the group got letters on saturday so I would think your boyfriend has received them
-

I sure could use a letter! LOL, I know they all grow up to live their own lives but at least you can still call them or text them. I was doing pretty good until late last week and this week - the insecure mind can run wild!
-

I'm sorry :( Have you gotten a letter at all? I'm sure you'll get one soon. They're doing good apparently. But the division has had a lot of IT, so they've been working out most nights. If you haven't gotten a letter, he may just be exhausted. Keep writing him though :)

I still have not received a letter yet... a bit sad about that. My son is in ship 10 Div 262! Have you made your travel plans for graduation yet?
-
-
I haven't gotten a letter or call yet.
I know they're all doing fine, but I'm worried.
I can't go to the graduation because of school :(
But from what I'm reading, 8/12 is a big graduation day so I'd go ahead and start planning for it if you are
-
