Comment by SeabeeWifeDawn(ship 02 DIV 918) on February 5, 2011 at 11:50pm: drumpro, i just sent you a message!

Comment by drumproswife on February 5, 2011 at 11:46pm: How do we join the facebook group? is it for ship 02 div918. this is still all hard for me to figure out.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 5, 2011 at 11:11pm: I know it is very hard being on this end of the boot camp experience. Especially when you have had no communication. Just know that the divisions fill up at different times. They can't all start at the same exact time nor do they finish on the exact same day. For most divisions it is the 2nd or 3rd Sunday before they are allowed to write. And then if they have watch during the time they have to write then they miss that chance and may have to write at night (when they are not supposed to but many do). It could be taking a little longer to get someone trained for handling the mail or it could be that they just had so much to do that they didn't have time. And once they do write they can only send it out on Sunday and then it takes another several days to get to you. I know this is hard but I am sure you will have have letters soon and you will feel so much better once you do. Hang in there the letters will come. Once they start getting your letters they will write if they are not already. And remember it could be the bad weather that is delaying some of the mail. Just keep writing and encouraging your recruit and you will hear from them soon. I have my fingers crossed for you all to get nice long letters this week. :-)

Comment by drumproswife on February 5, 2011 at 10:54pm: I hope y'all get a letter soon.

Comment by cinder on February 5, 2011 at 10:53pm: Anyone that has a sailor in ship 7 div 105 & 103 write them and tell them that parents are mad and that everyone needs to write their parents. Maybe some peer pressure will work.

Comment by drumproswife on February 5, 2011 at 10:44pm: The last time mine wrote was January 31. I got it this week.he said they get to write or study til 1 on sundays

Comment by drumproswife on February 5, 2011 at 10:02pm: Starting Monday is that 5 weeks left? I was told by a navy friend that it started the day they got there but I really don't know.

Comment by cinder on February 5, 2011 at 9:54pm: OK lets do a roll call anyone in ship 7div 105 and 103 gotten any letters?

Comment by SarahA (SeaBee wife) on February 5, 2011 at 9:51pm: I hear ya....this has been the longest 2 weeks of my life and theres 6 more to go :(
