I am mom to 5 wonderful sons and 2 beautiful daughters. My youngest two are twins. Cody is my 4th child, and the first to go into the service. I'm very proud of Cody, but this is hard too. I'm an assistant fire chief and have been in the fire service for 25 years.

Welcome...I read your question about not having his address...you will soon get a letter with all the info...be patient...My son left weeks ago and I got his letter about two weeks into his bootcamp experience...sooo...it will be there soon.
He will send you a form letter and he will tell you his ship and division...also how to write the address. My son got extra pushups because I did not write the numerals in the address EXACTLY like I was supposed to. You also have to put slashes diagonally across the zeros. He actually likes extra pushups cause he worked out so much harder BEFORE bootcamp that he is getting out of shape!
Yes...I think a generic would not get to your sailor. Be patient...just send them all at once and your sailor will be thrilled. You will get lots of letters back and they will be great.
Hi Cody's Mom. My name is Lisa and my daughter is in the same division. Wondering if you have received a letter from him or got a real phone call yet? I still haven't received either.
Hi Mary, No I still have not heard anything from my daughter. I thought for sure I'd get a letter today, but still nothing. I'm afraid to leave the house for fear of missing her when she calls. What about you? Any news yet?
My son Warren is also on Ship 7, div 227. i am so excited for him! he is also my only child to go into the service also. i am the mother of 3 children 2 boys and i girl, Warren is my middle child. I was beginning to think i had the wrong ship and div for my son, i have had a hard time finding anyone in his div. I have not received any mail except for his form letter and his box. I miss him so much!
