OH HAPPY DAY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! he said he didn't have long the Cheif was on a war path, but that he past his pst and that there are 109 in his div. WOW said that they are the biggest on base. told me he missed us and to write lots. also his girlfriend got a letter and he told her they tell them everyday that there girlfriends are going to leave them lol. I find it funny because he knew that before he went in they would do that. I hope you all got a letter as well or will get one in the next day or two.
