Bootcamp Graduation Date 01/06/12, anyone?
My boyfriend graduates on January 6th, and I was wondering if anyone else's sweetheart graduates from bootcamp on that day. My boyfriend's sister said she talked to girls who were in the same boat (haha, buh-dum-dum) when her boyfriend left for bootcamp, and that it really helped. So... yup. :) Anyone?

My boyfriend graduates that day, as well! Right now, he's in Division 032.
Has anyone recieved letters yet?
-

My husband is in 032 too:) I received the form letter and one other letter last week.

I got like a little six line note that told me he loved me and he was doing well, but I haven't recieved a "real" letter yet. I figure he was able to write this Sunday, so hopefully I hear from him soon.
He called his mom and she got the package as well, which makes sense considering we're not married or anything =D

I got a note on the back of the form letter and the other letter was really short, he stopped mid sentence. Ha! Such a dork. I was hoping for a call yesterday but no such luck
Hopefully we'll get our letters soon! :)) -
-
-
Same with mine with the mid-sentence thing! xD I'm so glad to find someone on the same time schedule as I am =D
I hope so, too, I'm dying to hear from him<3
-
-
-
ha! i was crying as i read his letter but as soon as it ended I burst out laughing:)) "I am so..."
so, what? ha, dork!
oh, me too, it makes it a little easier having someone in the exact spot i am. When did your bf leave? are you planning on going to PIR?
-
-
-
Aww, that's so cute<3 Mine just ended with, "And Austin answered though..." I was so happy. I'm excited for the next one!
I'm new to all this, so I have no idea what to expect D= He left on October 31, and arrived in Great Lakes on Nov 1st. And yes I am!

Ha, too funny.
I finished his sentence the way I wanted it in my next letter to him:)
Mine left Nov 2.
Gah, I want them to hurry up and finish:)
-
-
-
I know, me too. Two weeks apart, and the distance is already killing me =/
It's so rough.
And that's so awesome you did that, that's a good idea to do!

Its so good to talk to people that are going through the same thing as me! I finally received his letters today! 6 of them. They were all so sweet, and sad. I cried, and I laughed. Its funny, even when he is talking to me through snail-mail, he knows just what to say to make me feel better. :)
