My son is 009. He is a bit demoralized as they are not pulling together. Says they are bottom. I got a letter yesterday. He sounds brainwashed.

I did get a quick letter from my recruit (DIV 010). He said he didn't have too much to talk about - which is why my letter was mostly about going to the NEX and buying more underwear - "tighty whities" :) (...and everyone apparently gets the same size so they're uncomfortable to wear - lol). Now I can understand why other comments on the site mention guys have asked loved ones to bring boxers to wear around the hotel room! He didn't mention how their division is doing. Anyone have info on that? Hope everyone had a good week!

Have a question? My son had said more than 4 can come and since we are a family of 7. He said he could put them on list. Also, since he is the Yeomun (I think how it's spelled) he said he has access to the schedule for graduation. We will have liberty with them from 11-9pm. *that's for the PIR 11/13 He's ship 14 010.

I have not spoken to my sailor since the day he shipped out. Is anyone else in the same boat? He tried to call home on the 10th but was allowed to call on a broken phone. No call yesterday at all. I have received two letters from him. The first was about 3 sentences and did more harm than good then the second one came and made me feel much better but I need to hear his voice, it has been 1 month. What is going on here????

I got to hear from my recruit last night. It was so good to hear his voice. Last time I spoke to him he was not in good spirits. It seems ship 14 div 009 is having a rough of things based on comments I read. He said letters really help them. I also got a letter this week. Seems like he was in better spirits while we spoke and his letter was a little more upbeat. He said talking to me helped. He is very homesick. 25 more days boys!!!!!
