Ha ha i already wrote in a letter to him that you got a phone call because of him singing . Im sure when he gets my letters he will write back and laugh. My husband is the type of guy that would do somthing like that infront of friends but i guess the though of doing it in front of people he doesnt know stopped him. Obviously not your bf. My husbands last name is Collins. There are probably like 5 others with that name too haha if you mention him hes the one with the glasses now! Poor thing!! Weird what they find when they are looking extra hard. Im sure you will get the letters soon. I know today my mail was super late i was waiting around by the mailbox from 10 to 1 and it normaly comes at 10:30 it has been for 10 years. But i guess today it just wanted to be slow. So im guessing maybe its a little backed up after the holiddays.

Thanks! I was so happy! I just wrote in my letter asking him if he knew ur husband! He moved bunks and doesn't even have a bunkmate anymore! So he has to do his sheets himself for inspections poor thing! But he sounded a little homesick in the first couple letters but he sounds a little better getting into his routine and he's made some friends now so that makes me happy!

Hi GS'mom,
My son is in Ship 9 Div 71 which is the brother division of 72, the two divisions train together. I got a phone call from my son last Friday. Everything is going fine he kept saying, Dad, I am fine. By this time they are now in week 3 and are doing 'real Navy stuff'.
These recruits are really, really busy I know it is disappointing to wait for a letter. My son said he had no time to write he is doing Navy stuff. That is fine, no news is good news. If it is good news no need to write a letter and if it is bad news you will hear about it in a phone call not a letter. That is Dad logic, I know, LOL.
Keep the faith, as they say, no news is good news. Of course we want to know every detail but really the big picture is, they are fine.
