Hello!!
My mom got her letter today too! Navy girl mom its so funny because my brother wrote almost the same thing....wrote about the superbowl meal, the "hollywood shower", thier PT, and he passed his swim test too!!!! He said the first week was hell and he was up for two day when they first got there. He said about PT if they mess up how much more they have to do...and he says it is so much pain but when he is done he is happy because he did it with out giving up!!! He said about the mattress being like a rock! That they are so busy by the tme he hits his rack he is out. He is loving the camo and the marching. He is going to church on sundays and has time from 7 unt one. He did not mention a phone call. He said that he misses us and was sorry that didnt get to write to me and my other brother but to make sure that we write to him. I am so proud of him!! He is doing it..I am just so proud and happy that he is ok!! God bless to everyone!! -

We got 3 more letters said she knows they are saying letters are piling up to keep them coming tho. She said they are learning to live by the rules. They are counting the days down. If all goes well. Said she has a new nickname. Said she has became friends with about 6-7 people. Said they are from Texas, Georgia, Florida. Her Bunk mate is cool and they get along pretty good. She told me not to send anything bigger than a envelope. Not thick or anything. Told me no cards she has a small area to keep her stuff.But I already sent a Val-Card. Bet that is a big change for her. She could be messy at times. Said they were all hanging in there and people are writing and moms that have not got a letter They are writing. Hang in there they are on the way. God Bless you and your family. Pray you all get letters/Phone calls soon.

Hey just wanted to let everyone in DIV 134 know that according to my bf's letter today (he wrote it on 3/13/10) they are going to be able to call this Friday. He didn't give any explanation but said he would be calling. :-0 YES!
He said that they had their final inspections are this week. He didn't mention Battlestations but looks like we figured that one out. Said he earned his Markmanship Ribbon at the gunrange last week!!
He sounds terrific! So looking forward to talking to him on the phone - keep your phones next to you - hopefully this time we will get our call. -
