Hi Sean's stpmon, my son is in you SR. division. Have you heard from them. We got a letter but no call. I've been waiting to hear from him. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. And it is so true to about traditions. The 21st my oldest graduated from bootcamp and he brought some guys and their family over for dinner. That was absolutely one of the best Thanksgivings ever. Wish my youngest was there.. well again enjoy your Thanksgiving.

It's the same for me. My son sent his girlfriend the first letter, which I completely expected because his daddy would've sent me the first letter if it were us! She was great though and called us to tell us that he is tired due to only getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night and that they are being yelled at 24/7, but he is okay. It was good to hear from him even if through someone else's letter. He only got to write one letter because they had to clean on Sunday. Hopefully we will hear from him this week. I too, am looking forward to meeting all the moms and wives and girlfriends at the meet and greet.

Goodmornin all, I know its early but I can't sleep. We spent the weekend in Great Lakes for my oldest sons graduation. And the thought of being that close to my youngest son was so hard. A couple times we thought we saw him but it wasn't him. When in uniform they all begin to look just alike. We had been waiting sooo long for a letter and as soon as we got home, THERE WAS A LETTER. Was I happy. I can't wait to hear his voice. But 3 weeks down and 5 to go. I will be able to give him a Big Ole Kiss !!! :) Take Care All Hoorah Hoorah Hoorahhhh!!!!!

Feeling so good today!!! I finally got a letter from my beloved. Apparently someone said a very rude thing to a higher in charge and so they had to do intensive training. The food is good. He really seems to love his uniform. He said that he lives meal to meal which makes the day go by quicker. AHHHHHH I am so happy. I was yelling and screaming around my whole house!!
