WOO HOO! Received the letter today, overall positive and excited about the challenges she is overcoming! "sometimes I want to give up Mom, but don't worry, I won't".
Got my first letter from my son today SHIP03, DIV354!!!
thanks so much lisahd and Diannep, actually I found out after i posted this morning that both my daughter and my son-in-law took that test today. No the waiting begins. We have been hounding my SIL for 2 years now because my daughter has always outranked him. Now if he gets the promotion and she doesn't it isn't going to be pretty lol. Hopefully they will both get the promotion because they both deserve it and the higher pay will help out as well.
Here is a pic of the 2 of them :-)
lisashd: Lala's sailor is a cute-as-can-be daughter who is married to a sailor as well....so son in law!
Anyone from ship 12 Div 352 and lives in Pennsylvania
Lala my prayers are with your son.. I got my first letter from my daughter. She sounds good and it sounds like she likes it so far..It was so good to get her letter and sad at the same time. I miss her so much. And so proud......
Good morning ladies about to hot to work here's hoping there's a letter in the mail for all of us today!!
Prayers, Lala!

Hi Moms,

Good Morning everyone, Happy Thursday/letter day. I hope you all get letters today :-)
