Hi my name is Samantha,

recieved his clothes home, the offical letter telling me his graduation date, Ship 14 and div number 026 and today I even recieved the form for me to get my military ID. But I have not recieved any letter from him so I have no Idea how he is doing " I'm sure he is fine" but I still want to know everything that hes feeling. I was just wonder If anyone in this ship/div has recieved a letter I see that some of you have recieved phone calls but I would just settle for a letter. If anyone could shine some light for me that would be great Thanks

Hi Samantha,
My son will PIR on 11/30 as well. I have received 2 letters from him, but he has not received any of mine. Have you been on the chat site. Many women wiser than me on there. Hope you get them soon.

Hi! I've gotten two letters so far also, but my SR says only about 5 guys in his div have received mail. He told me he was going to wait until he got a letter from me before he wrote, but something came up and wanted to write about it. From what I have heard, week three is usually the week that family starts receiving mail. Hope you start getting mail soon!

Hi there! I haven't also received any letters from the husband. I received the form for my military ID and form letter. I sent him lots of mail already, but no mail yet. I'm hoping this week we should receive a letter. Just hang in there! Our letters will arrive soon.

I just received a short note today along with a form from my son. However I know he has gotten at least one of my letters because he used a stamp that I sent him.

Hi Samantha,
My boyfriend is graduating on November 30th and is on ship 14 division 026 as well, but I have not received a personal letter either. Like you "I'm sure he is fine", but just want to hear it from him. I have not received a phone call either. I'm trying to stay strong, but it's hard. Where exactly are you located? I am all the way in south Georgia. I know some people with love ones in the same ship/div have received letters, but I wonder how close they are to Great Lakes. Hang in there. I know I'm trying to. If i don't get one tomorrow or the next day I might just lose it!!
