Hi ggnavy gf and Jenacfs.  I am glad to hear that.  I am concerned that we may have been given incorrect address. Is the number of the street or road going to be the same as the last 4 digits of the zip code?  I have a friend who's son is in a separate division and the number of the street is the same as the last 4 digits of zip code.  This may be a stupid question.
Comment by SailorsLove (Ship09 Div139) on March 13, 2011 at 5:46pm
My boyfriend is also in that division
Comment by Jenacfs on March 13, 2011 at 5:45pm
My husband is in that ship and division.
Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on March 13, 2011 at 5:42pm
I have a question for someone who has a loved one in the Ship 09 Div 139.  My son is in that ship/div.

Freebird you could send her a bigger envelope and tell her if she wants to she can use it to send all her letters and cards back home in. Just make sure you put several stamps on it for her. My daughter also sent a couple letters back in every letter she wrote to me. Funny though i never saw any letters from the boyfriend in there, hummmm guess she didn't want to send those home to me lol.
Comment by KathyOR (ship 03 Division 144) on March 13, 2011 at 1:10pm
My son left on Feb 23rd. One week later I had my box and form letter. I got a letter last Thursday that he'd writting on March 1st. I'm also hoping for one letter a week. Something to look forward to every week!

Thanks Jessica for the links!  You're a wealth of info.!!  :)
Comment by danag2011 on March 13, 2011 at 12:35am

My son is in ship 03 div 146.  Is there anyone else out there whose loved one is in the same division?  I am so new to all of this, and a little overwhelmed with all of the terms, etc.  I have received one letter so far and have been writing about every other day.  I know he will be just fine, but I still worry.  He is my baby.

lol, it was just so nice to have a whole day out in the sun. It was so funny, 2 young tigers were messing with each other. It looked like they were fighting but they may have been playing or trying to prove to each other who was bigger and badder than the other. They disturbed a huge Lion in the habitat next to theirs and he walked over to the fence and stood there roaring at them for what seemed like 5 minutes. They noticed what he was doing, they stopped and looked at each other then politely went to separate corners lol. It was so funny.

Janlee- ready for another day of heaven here tomorrow :-)

Don't forget everyone that the time changes tonight :-] SPRING Forward.....
