Thank u for the info louielou! I also received a call last Christmas day and my bf had mentioned that he wrote a letter recently. I have been checking the mailbox almost twice a day LOL, but no letter from him yet. He also said that he only had an hour to write... Hopefully we all get a letter soon! =)

Hi everyone. I got a real letter today from my son. ship 03 div 091. He said they were all doing well. He said he actually kind of likes it. I'm glad to hear that spirits are good. So I am sure everyone will start getting letters very soon, if not already.

Happy New Year! I got my first letter a couple of days ago. He said he had passed his swimming test. He also said that getting up early was a little rough, but he was getting used to it. He was in good spirits. I'm hoping to get a phone call soon.

We were so excited to receive our first letter from our SR today. It was dated the 22nd of December and we are rural west so it takes a few days for mail to be delivered. He asked specifically for news items (he is a news junkie) since they are kept in the dark. He's in division 092 and shared that the RTC's are "pretty cool" and that some of the things they say are hilarious. Hopefully he's holding the laughter internally though. He stated that the 24th would be Day 1-3 and that a large number in their division have colds.

I too , got my first letter today. It was exciting to read about their journey, so far. My SR complained of feeling sick but said that it quickly went away. He also said that his feet hurt for a few days because of the new boots. I chuckled a bit when he wrote that they gave him a penicillin shot. Before hand, they asked if anyone in his immediate family had an allergy to pcn and he said, "no". Pretty much, we all do. Oops. He didn't have a problem though. Thank God. He admitted to crying. Once on the 19th, his 18th birthday, and when he got my 5 letters, on Christmas Eve. This mom feels so much better just knowing that he's doing well and that, so far, he likes where he is.
