Got a letter today! How bout the rest of 09/016? Son said everything was ok, doesn't like to food, but is getting used to it. The PT is good (his DEPs met almost everyday for PT, his recruiter was/is absolutely awesome). So happy right now!

Hi I am new here... and my son is in the same ship and same division as your sons/daughters. I feel much better now that I found this site. I have received two phone calls from my son and 5 letters. He felt a little sick because he is not used to the very cold weather, but he is feeling much better now. On his fourth letter, he explained things since the day he arrived at the BC. I was really worried and concerned, but I am more at peace now that he is doing a lot better. On his recent letter, he talked about the Halloween. He said the Halloween treat that they received was a small piece of snicker bar that was given by their Chief and the trick was, they had a 30 minutes Intensive Training. I hope to see you all on Dec. 03. Very proud of my son and I am proud of yours too. I do appreciate all of them. Good luck to all them and May God Bless everyone!!!

Received a letter yesterday Nov. 9th. Said all is going well. He said he can't wait to show me how to fold, iron, and shine toilets. Said they have 82 people now in their division. They have started their weapons training and have Live Fire on 11/12( I am guessing that is the final test for weapons) he says that should be fun and hopes to get a ribbon for sharp shooter. He said they had Marlin Spike a basic line throwing, knot tying and other things on 11/5. He said he made a 4.3 of 5.0 on written test and was excited about that. Everything seems to be going good for his division. Now I am thinking I need a phone call.
