I hope Ship 12 Div 053 is doing well.  I have not heard anything new since Jan 7.  Hoping to get a letter soon. 

Our last letter was on the 11th but it was failry short, he didnt say much other than they are pretty busy.  Hoping for another letter soon!  Hope everyone is doing well!

All these federal holidays are delaying very important mail from my husband. Not cool!

Good news from 053! They passed a marching drill inspection and made their lead RDC very proud of them and they passed their 2nd written tests :) I LOVE hearing good news!

I got the same exact news today!! :D I'm so happy!!

YAY!!! I am so happy for them!!  Way to go 12/053!!!

Thank you for letting us know winterrosebud :)

Seems they all write the same letters because i recieved the good news yesterday too. Im so happy to hear good news. We are almost there!!! Is everyone booked and ready

I am booked and ready.  I love hearing all the good news.  I am so excited.  Thanks to all of you who helped me get through this.  I couldn't have made it without your support.  Thank you.

Yes, thank you to every single one of you!  Having you all in my life through these last couple of months have made it so much easier and I am not only proud of my son but of all of your husbands and sons and daughters as well!!  I look forward to the next journey, hopefully we can all remain in contact and update each other on how our SAILORS are doing!!!

Woohoo 3 letters came today. The division is working hard and they are all really tired.

They have their last PFA and academic written test Jan 24 and the other test that we have all been waiting for is the 26-27.

Your post just put the biggest smile on my face...and then I cried! I am so proud of our boys!!
