My boyfriend is also in this division. His mom got his box and form letter last thursday, and he wrote a note in it saying it had been the longest day and a half of his life. So that means it takes at least a week to get from GL to here(near Houston, TX) so mail is sloww. Still haven't gotten a real letter, but everyday I pray it'll come. I swear the mail man thinks I'm stalking him haha He's AT or AE, not sure which yet, so A-school in Pensacola(only 9.5 hour drive from here!). Excited that its finally in the 30s as far as the countdown. Only 38 more days ladies!

So I got two letter from my boyfriend yesterday! The first one he wrote was on the 14th which was Day 7 of bootcamp. He said he was exhausted all the time because of the 4-10 schedule. He said he's doing his best to make us proud. He didn't go much into detail about what was going on at the time. He was just being very mushy as always. He asked for an update on our dog (she had an ear infection when he left) and asked how all of us were doing.

The second letter was written on the 20th. He thanked me for the pics I sent and asked me to send specific ones that he favored. He said that had a diabetic scare but his blood work came out alright the second time around. He said the drill sergeants are a-holes. LoL Duh! Also everyone in his division was sick. He had a little cold but otherwise he was okay. He also said they don't read any of the mail. They just check to make sure the pictures aren't pornographic.

Awesome!  If you got letters, then we should be getting some soon! We are in Tucson, AZ.  We are not sure of our son's rate because he was still choosing between Nukes or Advanced Computers/Electronics Field, but leaning towards ACEF.  We are excited to hear from him.  Since we are all in Ship 03 Div 156, are we going to try to get together up in Great Lakes?  Our family is staying at the Quality Inn.  We get in to Great Lakes Thursday, so maybe we could meet that night and get to know one another?  What do you all think?
