I got a letter today!!!!!!!! It was dated 1/24 inside and post marked 1/30!!! My son still had his sense of humor and seems to be doing well. He says the "chow" is pretty good. They got their NWUs and their names were already sewn on. He said it was pretty cool to see your name on your chest. I am so happy to hear from him and I know the rest of you should be receiving letters soon. :)

Hi Candy...My son is in your son's division and I know how you are feeling -- empty!! I'm trying to stay busy, making plans for PIR, and thinking positive thoughts. I think we should get mail this week. This is all new to me too. I truly believe that "no news is good news". We are 2 weeks into this and it has to get better for us and our boys!! Take care of yourself, try not to worry. I will let you know if I get mail today. Please do the same. It's coming...I just feel it:)

Finally got home to read my letter and it was so worth the wait! My son sounded good, worn out and probably stressed but just kept saying "I'm good, it's not that bad and don't worry about me". His letter was dated 1/29 and I received it today, 2/2. He told me about his days, his shots (not much fun) and his 4-5 hours of sleep every night. He said he thinks he might get to call home this weekend. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend--sitting by the phone LOL I'm going to sleep good tonight

My SR has a Nickname: TN cause the Petty Officer asked if he was from KY. No Petty Officer close I am from TN so the name stuck. Came back from lunch and his rack was the best. He sure didn't do that at home!! I need to see what happens to the SR if they don't do it at home!! He reads to the other SRs around them from his Bible. If anyone has a SR around them they call TN let me know. Hope we all get phone calls this week end!!!
