Got a letter today..thought I'd share. Keep in mind...it's the Navy, the only constant is frequent, unexpected, and sometimes dissapointing change. My SR said:
1. The I'm a Sailor call will come between October 25th-26th, Battlestations are the night of the 25th, he said they will get time to call afterwards.
2. Their division received the ship, division #, scholastic, athletic, and clean compartment flags, they went for the marching flag the Tuesday after October 6th, whatever that date was.
3.They got their pictures taken in their dress blues.
4.Dress warmly. Despite what weather.com says, it's cold, especially at night.
5. They cannot have their personal belongings until they are at the airport, if they are leaving GL for A school.
6. He was very sick with a fever of 103, and spent a day SIQ. He said all of them have been sick, some worse than others, some tolerate it and push through, some are sick longer.
7. His closest friends are: R. C. from some small town in Texas, R.C. from Fayetteville NC, J.I or J. from Bel-Air CA, E.O. from Bacaville, CA, and M.C. from Philadelphia, PA
8. They are counting down the days, just like we are!
9. He has gotten all the letters, card, pics, and calling cards. He has been using the self addressed stamped envelopes and says it does save time. The letters are taking about 3 days now to get there, and the letter he dated Oct. 9th, I received in east PA today, Oct. 14th.
I have more details, if you have questions, or would like more info. please direct it to me in a personal message.
Hope everyone is having a blessed day...
I received 3 letters in today's mail. Okay, I received 2 questionaires and one letter. He sent me his first medal for framing. I almost cried from being so happy, proud, and emotional. On the back of the letter he wrote, "Taylor says thank you for the question papers." I hope that Taylor's parents get pleasure from these!!! Have a great weekend everyone! 13 days until I climb on that plane, 14 until I get to hug my Sailor!!!
