Hi Jakes mom. I just got an email back that the personal message I sent you earlier was returned to me. Not sure how to reply to email so I will reply here. Thanks for emailing me. I look forward to getting to know you. My son Drew has made friends with just about everyone and I couldn't be happier or more proud! We are from Colorado. (about 45 minutes - an hour south of the Waldo canyon fires that made headline news). I am sure you will be at the graduation since you are so close. Will you come for a meet and greet? I think if we plan it well the dads cant say no!! Hope to talk to you soon.

Hi Sam,
My son, Nate is also in Div 244. I've only received one letter and a phone call so don't have much information. (Lots of the info I do have came from this site.) I read somewhere to keep a list of questions next to the phone so you can ask them when they call. Wish I had done that, as every thing I wanted to know went completely from my head when I was talking with him. He too said that their division is a little chatty after taps and he is really feeling the lack of sleep and intensive training. My son is pretty quiet but said he has made 5 or 6 friends, and is thankful for his job in the laundry because it is cool and quiet, which gives him time to think. I got the impression that there isn't much time for that. What is your son's name and what do you hear from him?Beverly
