How exciting to see this forum of ship 2 division 928!!! This means that all of our loved ones are together? I am sticking to the no news is good news. I just keep writing to him and i just came home from cvs picked up more band aids and mole skin to send in his envelope as other moms suggested. I guess they are breaking in the boots and it's giving them blisters and ouchies. PIR 5/25/12 can't be here soon enough!!!! Prayers to all our SR's!!!!! : )

Happy to have found this group and glad to hear the bandaid suggestion. Had no idea they would need them. My son did scribble a small smiley face on his form letter....I hope this means all is well!!! Anyone know when they will be allowed to write home? I pray its soon; really needing to hear something from him.
