Maybe I'm saying it wrong. He wants to switch jobs something in Pensacola. I don't know for sure but he mentioned it inhis letter.

Hi everyone,
Just got off work and came home to a letter, yeah, Daniel said his knee was really hurting (football injury) and was going to see the doctor. Of course the nurse mom worries.... Said he had gained weight, wow I'm impressed. Said the next few weeks were going to be pretty hard, and that he was "so ready to come home" made me sad for him. Ya'll I'm beginning to give up on a call, it's been over 4 weeks.

Lesa -- I think that is right. He said he had 5 weeks for training left so as I count it, that would put graduation at week 8 day 2. In some ways the time is going fast and in other ways, as we wait for letters and phone calls, time is dragging.

Our son left 8/11 and arrived in Great Lakes 8/12. In the letter we got today from him, he said Sept 2 was week 2 day 5 for him. The days go Mon - Fri and week-ends don't count. His week1 day 1 was a Thursday.

Just got another letter from my son. He just kind of rattled on about the letters he has gotten and then don't have enough time to write letters with everything else they have to do at the same time.

Alli, Valerie. Moly, and everyone else....
I know this sounds so bazaar but I don't know how I would have got through the last 4 weeks without you ladies. I don't even know you all, but we have laughed, cried, prayed for each other, prayed for each others kids, drank margaritas, coffee, and even threated to get out the woop a__ spray if needed. Ya'll are wonderful and I'm grateful for you and I'm gratedful our kids are together too.
