Hey charlie8/14 my son is one of those guys! Haha I asked him in a letter if he knew your son and he does, he sleeps in the rack next to him!
Sooo, that means I got my letter today yay!!!!! He mentioned that he will get to call me this week, so I am praying that means tonight! He said that 2-1 started Monday, for those of you who were wondering. He got to go to church Sunday and said it was amazing. He has made friends with pretty much everyone in his division (80ish total, about 40 guys). His rackmate's name is Nelson. Is that anyone's son on here?? He said the PB shot wasn't bad at all. He LOVES the weather (he is used to 100 degree heat here), but that they are hardly ever outside. His part of Division 948 is State Flags, so he and 49 others will be doing a routine at PIR. LOL he asked me to condense my letters because his personal drawer is tiny. He said it's awesome getting all the mail but he doesn't want to run out of room! He told me just to write more in each letter instead of sending him a short one everyday!
I am so relieved to have heard from him. PIR doesn't seem that far off now, especially knowing I should get a letter from him every week! Thanks for letting me share with y'all!

I'm hoping our SR's get to call really soon. Mine mentioned they would call soon and I'm trying to be as patient as possible.

Well, I slept very well last night. I received a call from my baby last evening. She is doing well...passed her swimming test, she is on the drum line playing the bass drum, building muscle and losing weight, and told me that her job at boot camp is (this was the funny part), doing laundry for her division. She hates laundry. She was also excited about learning about firearms this week. She also said "I now know that I made a good decision by joining the Navy. Can't wait to see her and give her a big hug! I am so proud of her, as I have always been! Only 30 days ladies! Thanks to all of you for all of your support.

My son is the laundry PO for his side! How funny. I know what you mean. My son would grab his pile of clothes, stuff them in the washer, then stuff them in the dryer, then stuff them back in the basket. He told me he's doing it my way now. Apparently the Navy agrees with me!
And he's playing cymbals.
Wasn't it good to hear you SRs voice? I'm aching to hear it again.
