I got a letter today also. My husband said he was a body snatcher also. Helping with grads and stuff. He does all the laundry which is okay, but says it's frustrating now because even if there's an issue with it in the middle of the night, they wake him up. Says it causes him to go to bed later and to wake up earlier. He says all the 900 divisions are performing divisions. They do honor guard and help at a couple graduations and then their own. He also said he won't be marching because of the "body snatching" thing. He says the physical training now is not "fun" but is starting to become a good challenge. He gets an adrenaline rush and it releases a ton of endorphins for him. Also said that there is a new crew that came in with bald heads and he said it was a nice reminder of how far he has come. I can tell in his letters he's becoming more proud of himself and what he's accomplished. His letters are no longer so depressing!

We got two letters today too. He got meds. for his cold and is feeling better so glad to here. He said he hoped they would come together as a division soon and stop getting their butts kicked. Sounds like he is doing better and getting with the program! He is very much into team activities (played football and volleyball in high school) so I bet he is pushing for that team togetherness and will love it when they all pull together as one well oiled machine!!! GO DIV. 936!!! LETS GET IT DONE. All in all he sound much better in these two letters. HOOYAH

great, so good to hear the news that your recruits had. I am working this weekend, so i will not be able to check the facebook discussion page :-( no facebook at work, navy4moms is similar, but not the same, in my opinion. could not resisting looking for updates on here!!! My son had said that he will definately be in shape, by graduation, but he sounded pretty positive.

Carri hope you had a good day at work. Who takes care of that beautiful baby girl when you are working. Remember the one of my hardest days was going back to work after my second baby (my SR). That was worse than leaving the first one....because now I was leaving both of them. We got through it. I was lucky my baby sitter was a elementary school teacher who quit to have her third child in 5 yrs. She taught them not just watched them!!!!

Terry, my husband has all the children on the weekends, and my aunt is keeping her when I work during the week. I have long days (leave 5a home 830p) but only 3 days a week. :) biggest issue is, she is being resistant to the bottles. :( I was very glad when my aunt offered to watch her. Missing my son alot this week, tho :( the limited communication has been very difficult. The letters that I recieved was a lot of the same information in the phone calls. Atleast he has been positive every time (with letters and calls).
