Letter has arrived
When we got home tonight, Dalton's letter was waiting for me. His PIR Date is Dec 02. He assured me he was OK and that he is looking forward to receiving our letters. Of course, he had a few lines in there for Emilie (girlfriend) and I called her right away with the message :-)
Very glad to see his handwriting. So now we just need to start making reservations. Each day that passes is a day sooner that we will see him!

My daughter is also Dec 2 PIR. It was nice to see her handwriting too, only it was all Caps. I know that the Navy is teaching them how they want things to be from the very first moment she arrived, and obviously, she is doing whatever they say, because she never writes in all caps. That was the only thing that was strange. She wrote, "I told you I'd be writing in this font". I loved that because it sounded just like her. Can't wait for her first official letter. I realize they may not have time and the RDC's may not allow her to write, depending on the performance of her division, but I still have hope to receive it soon. I bought some encouragement cards to keep her going. I have a strange feeling that I'm the only one that will continue to write her. Her friends will send the "1st letter", but then quickly forget. Her dad wrote one letter and doesn't feel like he needs to write again soon. I know for a fact (my 2 boys were in the military, one Navy and one Marines) that they ALL like Mail Call. I want to give her the motivation and strength from at home so she doesn't give up. I want her to succeed at this.

Yes, Dalton's was in all caps also. All I can say is I am ready to see him on December 2. The form letter stated that they sometimes get daytime liberty provided they are not transferring out. I am not sure how long to make reservations for?
