I don't know but she dated some letters with the date, and some with "57 days" and I guess that means how long she has been in. She says she is sorry she cries but the girls just do not listen. They get penalized for letter writing time, she would love to write more. Basically, boot camp isn't that bad. And she figured out to keep her boots laced really tight, and no blisters!
Now they are in training and she said she doesn't have time to write a long one, maybe sunday.

Good Morning. I pray today is My day and i get a letter from my son. I have my ups and downs at times. Two days ago I woke up with a pain in my right knee and started worrying about my SR. I started worrying he may have gotten hurt and worried he would not be able to overcome this challenge. Then today I am already past worrying about him overcoming it, sure he is not hurt and confident will graduate. I am now thinking about how I will get him home for Christmas from A school. Weird how I go from imagining the worst to thinking the best. I prayed the lord would take my worries away and that I was leaving it all in his hands. Now just waiting for my letter and seeing if my plan for my son is also God's plan.
Have a great day ladies. I look forward to all of us hearing from our SR's this week.

Hi all, just got notes and letters from my girl! Oh, it felt good. They were put on hold for a week or so, all they did was eat, study and eat again. Almost all meals were great!
Does anyone know if this group is private so RDC's can't see what we moan about?
