Well my daughter was a very busy lil writer Sunday....she wrote myself...my younger brother and his wife and their almost 4 year old lil girl ( all included in my envelope) she wrote her Granny and Papa (my parents) and her lil brother! It was so funny to hear what she wrote in all of theirs because she was so upbeat and postitive to them but in mine it was all the gripes....and to the one that asked bout why the girls argue.....It's the part that comes with being a girl....I think that every girl feels threatened by another girl ...competition type thing...it's like a Cardinal rule....you're a girl welp I don't like you! Just like High School....that's why my daughters friends have always been guys....she hates drama....and is so tired of it with her fellow div girls...she says it's just petty stuff that throws em in a tail spin.....

Well, I did not get a letter today; however, my son's girlfriend got two. I asked her what he wrote in the letters and she said he drew a bunch of happy faces on his letter. She said he sounded in good spirits. He did say that he misses the privacy of a shower. He said he is obviously not good at ironing and he doesn't like standing and saluting while they do personal checks -- I think, correct me if I am wrong, that is when they check their clothing or something....who knows? It sounds like he got docked for clothing check. He did not mention anything about bunk check. He doesn't like deck log...does anyone know what that means? I tried to ask as many questions as I could.....he didn't mention anything about getting in trouble or anything about the other recruits.....if I do get a letter tomorrow, I will share....

I'm glad my son is safe and it sounds like in good spirits.... :-) I will be praying for DIV 344 and PIR, Ship 12 tonight.

Good night, everybody ... those who didn't get letters yet, hang in there for Saturday's mail ... there is no rhyme or reason for delivering letters, so don't fret. Just a little over a month to go and we'll be seeing our guys.

DillonsMom, You also get phone calls when their division does great on tests, etc. My son's division received very high marks so they rewarded them with a phone call home. So it's good news too!

Vincent's Mom- My son also said that some of the group doesn't receive letters as well. One of the guys he became friendly with, has a mom who teaches 2nd grade. They all sent letters to him and he shared them with his other division mates.! I thought that was awesome! I'd be happy to write to that recruit as well!

Vincents mom.

Comment by S12/D342-Yamile/Christian's Mom on September 10, 2010 at 8:21pm
Hi all,
While I was genuinely happy to hear how everyone had received letters and phone calls from their love ones; yesterday was a very bad day for me. I rushed to get home from work, I almost forgot to put the car on parking to run out and dig into the mail box to find NOTHING…. I was so depressed that I didn't want to put a damp on the cheerful and happy moments that were taking place and I decided to stay away. But today was the day for Ship 12 Div. 342. I posted the below pray in our group, but I am so happy that I wanted to share it with all of you.

Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You because I was able to hear my son's voice today.
Please keep him and all the sailors safe. Help them to start each day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let them make the best of each and every day to clear their minds so that they can hear from You.
Let them not whine and whimper about things they have no control over and give them the best response when they're pushed beyond their limits. We know that when they can't pray, you listen to their hearts. Keep them strong that they may help the weak... Keep them uplifted that they may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. For those that are misjudged and misunderstood. For those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that don't believe. I pray for peace, love and joy, because there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than You. Because every battle is in Your hands, oh God to fight. Amen!

Vincentsmom ...I'll send cards to your son's bunkmate... pls send name and info and will send cheerful thoughts his way. This has to be the loneliest time of their lives, anything we can do to make b.c. more bearable, let's do it!
Comment by LC girlfriend [[ship12 div344]] on September 10, 2010 at 8:02pm
@ vincentsmom....i started to cry when you mentioned your sons bunkmate and him asking you to write to him too. PLEASE send me his name and address and I would love to write to him also!

Great news ladies! :)
Comment by Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on September 10, 2010 at 7:51pm
Thanks for the info, Anetrex ... a cold, thick shot in the butt ... sounds almost as bad as it must feel! I forgot to mention, throwing it out there, Ship 12 Div 347ers, my son's bunkmate is from Kansas. We love Kansas, went there on vacation 5 years ago ... great state, and if that's your son, here's a big HI from us.
