I know Casey is getting mine because she answered a question or two I had asked in my first ones.

Has anyone heard anything that they are getting our letters? My husband didnt mention anything about getting any of my letters when he wrote on the 31st.

Good morning to you all. He wrote to my littlest that he got to carry a gun during watch. He said they have lots of cereal and he likes the Frosted Flakes. He said there is no soda except Diet Coke. He said they have 8-10 minutes to eat and they can't talk and they have to eat it all. He did say there is not a lot of time to write. He said there isn't even a lot of time to think. They do all of that for you. He was issued military id and dog tags the 30th. He liked all the gear and the uniform. He said it all sucked but really it was getting better every day. He said he would rather have his dad yelling at him because the chief was hilarious and scary!

I try to write it all because I know I want to know all I can. I'll post more later if I've left anything out. Got to do Saturday running around with kids! :)

Hope everyone gets their letters today!!! I want to hear more too!

thanks ladies :) Kyle also had a upper resp issue when he left and was on antibiotics and he stopped them because he didn't want to get into trouble so I worry about that, I know no news is good news, so if he were sick I am sure my husband and I would have gotten a call, thanks for the support and I hope I get a letter today , have a great day ladies

I am so glad you got your letters zacksmom. It is such a weight lifeted knowing they are doing well. I mwant some more dtails also. I did not know about the running in the snow with the weights. Bendebhartner I am sure your letters are coming. Casey said she did not have a lot of time to write. She did say someting about watch which is long and boring. So you do not have time when you have that either. So they are coming. I can not wait till we all get phone calls.

bendebhartner...You will get your letters. Lets hope for tomorrow!! Zack said he did not have a lot of time to write. He said he spent every spare second he had trying to sleep. He did write a lot though. Lots of detail. I try to remember everything to tell all of you. I know you are worried. I felt so much better when I read his letters. Such a weight off my shoulders to know he was fine. He left home with a terrible cough and at least told me he was feeling better. All his letters were post marked Jan. 3.

Can't wait for you to get your letters!!

zachsmom so glad you got letters from your son, I am still waiting for a letter or phone call, I am just going crazy worrying about him and I know he is fine. If anyone hears from their recruit who mentions the name Pelayo, please let me know, I am anxious to hear from him :( have a good night ladies

I got letters today!!! Lots of letters. He wrote his first one Dec. 23 and then wrote again Christmas Eve and the 29th and then wrote all of us each a letter on New Years Eve. That's six letters in one envelope. The difference in the 12/23 letter and the 12/31 letter was a lot! He seemed so much better just a week later! He said they do get in trouble a lot because they have some chatty recruits that won't shut up. He said he has only been yelled at one time because he stopped to help another recruit who wanted to quit the mile. He said they marched 3 miles at midnight with a 50 lb. weight in the snow the other night. He said that was crazy! He said the food was like a glorified school lunch and they only had 10 min. to eat and could not talk. He did say they have cereal and he likes the frosted flakes. No sodas except Diet Coke. He misses all of us and his bathroom. Showers are like an assembly line. He loves the way he feels in his uniform. He just got issued military ID and dog tags. Said they wear like ten layers when they go outside. Said they have a lot of cool clothes. He likes it. He says he wonders at times what the heck he is doing there but mostly there isn't time to even think. They are busy, busy, busy!! I could go on and on! I'm off to read my letters again and again. They brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad he is doing well.
