Oh no, Natalie, I am SO sorry to hear this!! If it was extremely serious, I would think you would have gotten a call. I am hoping for the best for both you and your SR! Remember that we are here for you! :)

I got my first letters from Zack today and I am so happy. Yesterday was a very hard day for me because I lost my fourteen year old cousin this past summer and this Thanksgiving was the first one I've had without her. It was so hard for me and not having Zack there made it worse, so I really needed those letters. I'm glad they finally came in, I was going insane not hearing from him. I hope Christmas goes by faster than yesterday did I don't think I could handle it. He told me that he misses me and can't wait to see me. His first few days were rough but he said its getting easier. His favorite part is PT and the food, of course haha.

Natalie, thank you. I am sorry for your loss also. I keep reminding myself that this will just make me stronger and God wouldn't have done if he didn't think I could make it. She was like the sister I never had, I still text her at random times and then it hits me hard in the gut when I realize what just happened. But I will get through this for her and for Zack. I'm sorry you didn't get what you wanted to hear and hope that everything goes well with your son. I am also here for you.

Has anyone gotten any news from our boys? I'm sure they are doing well, but the reassurance always helps! Praying for them all! <3

I got another letter today as well. However, it went to my parent's house and i'm 45mins away for school. :( It sucks knowing that it's laying there waiting for me and i can't read it!! I'll get it Thursday, though, so that is my motivation to get through this week! :)
I hope you find out soon what is going on! Hoping for nothing but good news for you and your SR!

Hello Everyone I to have an SR in ship 07/ div 36. We received our first real letter Monday that was the best day so far for me. He seems to being well and to that I am relieved. Can't hardly wait for the next one.

Received another letter from my SR. He says the most fun he has is sending and receiving letters. He says it is the "best feeling ever" to hear your name called for mail. Mail was withheld one day as punishment and he was devastated because he just knew he had a letter and had to wait another day! Makes me want to write even MORE letters - lol. (I already write every day)

I'm so glad you're writing every day as well! I was worried my boyfriend would get crap for getting so many letters! Hahaha. I always wonder what they get in trouble for - hope it doesn't happen too often!

He wasn't being punished for something he did. If someone in the division does something wrong, they all get punished.

Yeah, I know. That's what worries me!

One of the moms in Div035 said their SR will be calling today. Has anyone in Div 036 heard anything about calling this week? Mine mentioned last week that it would be soon but didn't give me a day. I was hoping it would be today or tomorrow.
