Hi there! I just got three letters from my son and I think you are the mom I am supposed to contact and send a message to. Last name starts with R? I hope I have the right person! Anyway,the message is: Kyle said you arent getting his letters, but wants you to know he is trying. But, it looks like you already received a couple!! Awesome!! It sounds like our boys are bunk mates and are becoming really good friends. Kaulin talks about him in all of his letters and they are really great support for each other. I sure hope I have the right mom!!

I am in Oregon. I am happy to hear you finally got your letters! Its nice to meet you too. My name is Mindy. I am so happy that the boys are friends and have that support. Sounds like they have down days and are able to keep each others spirits up! But it does sound like they are having fun with their PT, even doing extra workouts in the evenings! They're nuts!

Good morning! I received another letter from Austin yesterday :) Said they were fitted for their uniforms last week which took about 6 hours. He also said they'll be wearing their dress blues at PIR! He's very positive, upbeat, and has not said anything negative in any letters I've received, and I've received 4. Makes this momma very very happy!
I hope everyone is receiving good news from your SR's.
Have a great day,
Jessica
