Thanks for the info. I wish we had more time to spend with them. I moved to fla a few months ago and haven't seen my son til I visited in November. He couldn't come with because he wasn't sure of his exact date to leave for bootcamp. Having to say goodbye again is going to be very hard as I'm sure it will be for everyone. It's nice to know that there are others patiently waiting for that first letter so we know they are ok. Missing my son a lot right now...

My son told us that he has to fly out at 2am Saturday morning! I'm hoping that might change or that perhaps he's been misinformed. We are staying over until Saturday but are driving so aren't on any set schedule. I think we'll be lucky to spend a few hours with him on Friday!

Hello,
It is very nice to meet you all. My husband is in DIV 073. I am sorta a late joiner but decided it would be nice to meet others whos family members are in the same division. I miss him very much but was glad to get a call on Sat. I assume everybody got a call then? It was so nice to hear from him. I am 5 months pregnant so I was happy to give him a update. Too bad it was so short. Well again nice to meet all of you and hope everybody is well.

I got a letter from my son today as well! Sounds like he is doing well just misses everyone! He said the letters are like gold so make sure you write lots of them! I'm happy to say I think my son should feel like the richest man in the world because most everyone I know is sending letters and Christmas cards! His high school principal gave his address to his teachers and they plan to write too! Feeling so blessed right now! Hang in there Moms!

Our son just called his girlfriend about two hours ago! He's been getting our letters, working hard. Telling all his SR mates about us, she says he sounded so happy! He got to talk to her for about five minutes! This has made our holiday! For all other moms, wives and families, be patient. They will call and or write!
