Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 21, 2012 at 11:05am: OhWendy, I guess old habits are hard to break, lol.

Comment by OhWendyPIR7/27(Ship 13 Div 229) on June 21, 2012 at 9:04am: Betsy, that is what I figured. He decided not to, and his writing needs some work. I will make sure I remind him to use it for now on. He might as well get used to it.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 21, 2012 at 9:02am: OhWendy, the recruit handwriting is probably much better than his own. I could barely read my son's handwriting prior to BC, but when I got that first letter, I was shocked! It was beautiful, lol.

ruzymommy, happy to "see" you.

Hoping for more letters for ladies today. Thursday was always my day for letters.

Comment by OhWendyPIR7/27(Ship 13 Div 229) on June 21, 2012 at 8:41am: ruzy- I said the same thing. My letter was one page and he probably said It Sucks 7 times. I am thankful he even sent me a letter. His "girlfriend" called to tell me she received one too,maybe she got more info. She is going to call me later with details.

Comment by ruzymommy(Ship2/Div937) on June 21, 2012 at 8:20am: I will come out of the woodwork! Good morning to all! What a great day! We received her 1st letter yesterday! What's funny about it is, I was grateful but after I read it, it was like I needed more! Weird!

Comment by OhWendyPIR7/27(Ship 13 Div 229) on June 21, 2012 at 8:19am: I received my first letter from my SR. They got writing privileges on Sunday. From the sounds of his letter he had not received any of mine yet. He said he has been sick, but was going to suck it up. Admitted that it was a lot harder than he thought it would be. I would like to know how much the RDC tell them to tell us at home. He made sure he put in there that his Div has the hardest 3 working RDC at RTC and that people need to write so he would have something to look forward too. Words that he would never say. It was very nice to hear from him. He did end his letter with I need to go shine my boots and other Navy Recruit stuff. That made me laugh. Oh and maybe someone can help me with this one, He said that he didn't know if he was supposed to write in recruit handwriting or not???? Not sure what that means.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 21, 2012 at 7:49am: I will make it my mission today to find them, along with the billion other things I have to accomplish before we leave for FL tomorrow :-)

Comment by diannep on June 21, 2012 at 7:43am: I agree, ladies...hope they return soon!

Good morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 21, 2012 at 1:12am: lol, I get that feeling very often. I have been super busy today and now I need SLEEP lol. Goodnight.
