Hello My daughter is Ship 11 Div 367 I have recd 2 phone calls and my husband just called me and said that I recd a letter in the mail today so I am heading home just as soon as my work day ends I can hardly wait. Her phone call was Wednesday and she did say they had not recd mail and ask me if i had recd her letter so I am guessing this is that letter. Hopefully you will receive a letter today . I feel really blessed that I have had a litte communication. Please let me know if you receive either. Take care and hang in there.!

I hope you get a letter or a call soon. I know exactly how you are feeling because up until today we had not gotten a call either. All sorts of crazy things were going through my mind. I think you are safe to go with that old saying, "No news is good news." If something goes wrong, they call home. If it is other things like my son having 4 wisdom teeth pulled, you do not hear from them until they are able to call. Able being the operative word lol.. I am sure she is doing just fine. This site is wonderful but you have to try not to read too much into some of the things when you have not heard from your child because I found myself getting really upset and depressed about not hearing from him when others were hearing from their child. Now I see that there was in fact a reason for him not calling. Your mind kind of gets carried away when you are so worried. It is all going to be fine and I am sure you will hear something soon. When did she leave? My son left for BC 9/21 so is she left after that, she might be close behind to call. Hang in there!
