Comment by Lynne on September 29, 2010 at 6:09pm: Woo hoo glad to hear folks are starting to get those letters and I know more are in transit...am so jealous...in a good way...of those getting a phone call..want to trade RDCs....just kidding....lol!!

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on September 29, 2010 at 6:04pm: Well no letters today:-( but there is always tomorrow :-) and maybe a phone call.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 29, 2010 at 6:01pm: Okay, we got two letters and just got off the phone with him. It was the best 20 minutes EVER!! Seems he's doing okay, just gets sad when talking about home. The first letter with the newspaper clipping made it through to him okay. Said their brother division is 356. He's a crossing guard, had some other wonderful term, but basically that's what it sounds like. Too tall to carry a flag. They got the or a scholastic flag for their first test. Happy day all around.

Comment by Robin(Corpsman-DA Mom) on September 29, 2010 at 5:41pm: Well, there is hope. New Navy Mom got 6 letters and her son is in 363. Hoping my letter will arrive tomorrow. I usually get mail one day later where I live. A phone call would be super! I just really want to know how he is adjusting. I don't know how to write my letters....do I need to be more encouraging (if he is down) or don't put it on so thick if he loving it! HA!
@@Please share with us more of their letters about the day to day activities. I'd love to hear all about it. Thanks!

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on September 29, 2010 at 5:38pm: I am posting this here and in my division forum too, so everyone gets the news.
Yes, got a letter today. Short but sweet. Actually two letters. One he wrote on the 18th, so just at the end of the first week, and one he wrote on the 26th. He mailed them both together.
The letter from the 18th said there was no point in lying, this place sucks. The RDC's are cool but when they get mad it is insane and certain people just haven't learned to SHUT UP yet so we get punished quite often. Showering with 80 stinky guys is HORRIBLE.

The letter from the 26th is pretty short, but it shows a change and he says things are slowly getting better but that some guys still do stupid stuff, just not as often. The food isn't too bad. It's getting cold there and they can't change into winter uniforms until Oct. 4. (Interesting that they have a specific date for that)
He also says that he apparently has 6 wisdom teeth so has to get two removed this week, but he gets to stay in bed on drugs for two days so not a bad deal. ha.

O.K. so now I'm worried a little about his wisdom teeth, but I've had them out myself and it wasn't that bad for me, with all 4 at one time, so hopefully he will be the same as I was and it will be very easy for him. I didn't need drugs. I hope he isn't getting all 6 out at one time. Yikes.

So, now we wait for the phone calls, hopefully on Sunday.
Yeah.

Comment by sandi (shp07/div357/PIR11/5) on September 29, 2010 at 5:21pm: hey I booked our room at the quality inn, hope to meet some of you in Nov. it is only 3 mile away and hopefully nice enough, we don't need a palace. God Bless to everyone.

Comment by Oldest of 4 on September 29, 2010 at 5:17pm: Yeah I stressed that when I gave out his address..Whatever happens he really don't want to experience that. I'm guessing one probably did, but he didn't say.

Comment by Lynne on September 29, 2010 at 5:11pm: Oldest....you think someone else got a package...lol...guess they aren't one this website....lol

Comment by Oldest of 4 on September 29, 2010 at 4:56pm: Yeah! got letter today also.....Sounds like he's doing good. Likes it better that they are busy. Says he studies more than he did in college.Home sick for his lil bros! First inspection to be today. So wonder how that went. But the main thing he stressed was "TELL EVERYONE NOT TO SENT PACKAGES " and at the end P..S again no packages.NO one has sent him any but he wants to make sure everyone is clear on that I guess.
