Hi, I'm in northern IL. It sounds like our sons went at the same time.  : )

Did you get to come down to the ball game?  Is this your first child to leave home?  I also have a daughter who is 20 and she is away at college.   Write when you get a chance. I would like to get to know you, maybe we can offer some support to each other.

Just remember, he will be home before you know it.  : )  Have a good day, Shawna

I got a letter in the mail with my sons graduation date. : )

That was all I could get out of my husband.   I'll write more later.

Hi,

How was the concert?  I live in northern IL, I think that is why I got the letter so quickly.

Ladies, make sure you answer your phone evern if you don't know who is calling you never know when it will be out sons.  : )   The letter had the graduation date, address and a short note from my son.   I hope you get your letter soon.   Have a good weekend.

I was hoping for the form letter today but no such luck:(  I am writing letters so I will have something to send as soon as I get his address.  I am anxious to get the info on the PIR so I can start making plans! My son Jake has a Special Ops Diver contract and was processed at MEPS in Montgomery, AL on June 6.  He arrived at RTC that same evening.  Hard having no contact with him.  I see you can only have four tickets for PIR and there is me, my husband and three siblings so I guess one of us has to skip the graduation.  Is there any way to get an extra ticket?

Awesome!!! I was hoping you would get your letter today.  : )  My son didn't say much. I surprised he did write.   I already put a letter in the mail yesterday and started another one yesterday afternoon.  My son is going to be an aircraft mechanic.  How about yours?  So will you be coming down for his graduation?  We will have to try to meet before hand. I better go, I'm at work.  I wanted to write because I wont be home until about 8 tonight.  Take care. Talk with you soon.  : )

Good Morning,

Just a quick note, I'll write back tonight after I get home.  I've been so busy I can't believe it's already Wednesday.  Can I ask what your sons name is?  Also, my husband and I would love to meet you and your family.We will be attending the graduation with our daughter, hopefully she is able to get off work and not have class that day.  : )  I thought I was doing ok, not missing Austin and then a friend of mine sent me pictures taken at his graduation....   I was almost in tears.  My co workers son is in the mariens and she talks alot about when her son when to basic traing.  : )  It is interesting.   Have an awesome day and I'll give you my contact information -

Awww, you got your box? !!  I haven't gotten mine yet.  I probably won't get one.  

I'm sorry I had to be so quick the other day.  I'm going to sit down and write to you tonight.  It's been really BUSY at work and I'm doing my job and helping someone else.   Then after work it seems like there is always something.  I'm not getting home until 9 at night.

Anyway, I better get to work, it was good talking with you and I'll write again tonight.

Have an awesome day.

Hi, sounds like fun.  We have a small lake in our town, google it sometime.  : )

Have fun this weekend. Maybe I'll get my kid in the box tomorrow.  I think the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend. Congratulation on 31 years!!  That is awesome.  : )

I'll e mail you at your other address this weekend.

Have fun and we'll talk soon.  

Hi,

I was trying to write to you yesterday and before I knew it the day was over and I was ready for bed.  How was your weekend?  No box from Austin but he did send three letters.  I went home for lunch and heard the mail lady so I went out and was so HAPPY to see mail from my son.  : )   he said in his final letter - PS  Mom, I heard you've been talking with one of my shipmates.   I'm at work so I'll write to you tonight at your other e mail address.   Shawna

Hi again,

I forgot your e mail address at my office.  I haven't been on line much.  I'm training for a half marathon so I've been busy after work.  How was your weekend?  I'll tell Austin to give Tim some paper so he can write home.  : )   Hang in there, I'm sure you'll get a letter soon.    Are you working?  I was thinking about calling you tomorrow on my lunch break at noon.  What do you think?  I have your number saved in my phone.  Let me know if you'll be available.  I'm sorry I have to log off now.  I was up early and I'm tired.  I'll talk with you tomorrow. Have a good night and stay strong.  

Happy Monday!!

Well, here we are in week four, how are you doing?  Have you gotten a phone call or anymore mail from your son?  Nothing here.  I'm hoping for a letter tomorrow. Have you made arrangments for graduation yet?  I was thinking we might get a room close to the base that way we could meet with some of the other parents.   I better get off here.  I have work to do.  I hope all is well with you and your family.  Talk with you soon. : )
