We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Hi,
Is anyone online who has a son in Ship 12 Div 372 who is going to be a hospital corpsman? Have you gotten any letters? I would like to know how they are doing? No letters from my son. I did not get a note from my son. Miss him more than words can say!

My son is in Ship 12 Div 371 and is going to be a hospital corpsman. I have only gotten the standard letter but nothing personal yet. I am hoping on a daily basis that something will come from him. I am anxious to know that he is doing well. I just need to hear his voice!!!

My son is also on that ship and division. I miss him so much. Want to hear his voice and just know that he is ok.

I am right there with you. I have never gone a day without talking to him and knew this would be hard, but had really hoped to hear from him either by mail or phone by now. Getting very anxious and friends are now telling me that I may need some meds before this is over..LOL. I hope that we all hear from our loved one's soon!!

Hi NickCMom,
It's great to hear from you! Sorry, I wasn't able to answer sooner. Old computer giving me an ulcer.
Where are you from? We are from Dingmans Ferry PA. So your son must be going to
San Antonio TX after boot camp. Let's keep in touch. Not used to the site yet. Let's friend
each other.

Hi steeler crew....
thanks for the response. It's nice to connect with others in the "same boat" :-) I am in Rock Hill SC. And Yes, he will be headed to San Antonio...a long way from home. I am waiting for my first letter from him...not so patiently either :-) I just need to know that he is ok. What is your son's name and I will tell Nick that you and I have connected. And I am still trying to get used to this site as well...there is a lot of info to take in. Take care and I hope that we both hear from our guys soon!!
