Thank you SO much for sharing your husband's detailed letter.  The 3 short letters I got from my son were the first he has ever written me. So its good I go letters, but not much information as to what they are doing. He is in ship 25 and since I haven't gotten a call in over 2 weeks, I am assuming that they didn't get the special privileges that he had hoped for.
