I got 4 LETTERS TODAY! It was unbelievably exciting to see his handwriting! I cried! lol

Yay, got 3 letters today in the most beautiful handwriting...guess they gave handwriting classes LOL! The first said "bootcamp sucks", but is progressively getting better! I was glad to see he had a positive outllook. He said the food is good and he is gaining weight. He said the day starts bet 4-5 A and ends bet 10-11 PM and is very intense with physical and academic training/studying constantly. They did swim tests this week! He said 6-8 people were sent home during the 1st week. He practically begged for as many letters as possible from anyone I know...he said it really helps them and gives them something to look forward to "DAILY". They pulled his wisdom teeth last week so if your kiddos had them, most likely they got them removed. Each letter, brought a more positive outlook. He said they got their official dog tags as well...he was thrilled about that. He was made a section leader in their division....so I'm a happy mom today. Not sure what that really means, but he was happy about it:) Praying each of you receive letters today or tomorrow.

I got 3 LETTERS TODAY TOO !!! YAY!!! Ship 2 div 928 ! I can't stop reading them over and over!!! My daughter will be in the choir. She also said on the second day she was "yoeman" for a few days . But then it was given to someone else. But she said she was grateful to be given the chance. She passed her PFA!! From letter # 1 to Letter # 3 her spirit is much greater ! and she wants the letters to continue. :) She said she really likes it! And its kind what she expected !
She is nicked named "Little one " By their Male RDC Lol My daughter is only 4ft 11 inches 110 pounds;)

YAY! Finally got a letter today too! I'm so grateful that she's okay. Had her wisdom tooth pulled last week and was in SIQ for a couple of days. She is having a good time. Now I can breathe easy - and not worry too much. Thank you Lord! Will continue to pray for our SRs to be kept safe and sound.

Was just on a 30 min phone call with my dear daughter. She sounded upbeat. Their division is doing okay. She said the food is good - they had BBQ today. Her oral surgery from the wisdom tooth extraction last week is healing well. She said their division chief and petty officers are good, they keep them in check. They got their dress uniforms for PIR yesterday and they're the white ones! Yay! I'm so happy I heard her voice. Was on the train dozing off, thank God I heard my phone ring. God bless our SRs!
