Seem's like everyone got the "form letter" a week ago, hope it's not lost. I mailed out a letter today and said where are my tickets LOL Feel horrible that the only envelope I had in the house was in the drawer with all the scentsy crap, needless to say it smells horrible. My husband just started laughing. I apologized in the letter for the smelly envelope, my bad!

Just got a letter from my brother. I miss him so much, we hung out daily so this is hard to not have him around. He had me laughing with the things he was saying about boot camp. First four lines were it sucks LOL But the food is good.

I'm happy you received your letter and things are good with him. I received 2 letters from my daughter and she sounds good she also raved about how good the desserts were especially the snickers and ice cream :)She said she is in one of the only two co-ed divisions in the building and hers is the only sponsored one....don't know what that means. She also talked about how happy she was when they kept calling her name at mail call....I miss her bunches but she sounds like she's doing good :)

Hey Jajajo, our girls must be together, Yay! Got my letter today. She sounds wicked good. Said the same about being a "sponsored div." She was assigned athletic petty officer, which is good, it will keep her mind on pt, likes her bunk mate, can't stand the "drama queens" and those with no common sense, She is also a section leader. Doing everything to keep herself as busy as possible. Says she hates it when people do stupid crap and the whole team suffers and they don't even care. So I guess the key is to keep your mouth shut and stay busy, She says, do what your told, when your told. Gotta laugh moms, isn't that what we tried to teach our kids for years? hahahaha, they just might finally get it. Passed her swim test, and now working on all she can to get that E3 by PIR. That would be way too cool. So I guess all these letters must be helping, cause I've been telling her in every letter to bust her but and she'll do great, be lazy and your life in boot camp won't be fun. So I am psyched and feel 100% better than I have for 3 weeks. Phew, what a change

We got letters today from my daughters fiance. She called and was so excited. I think letters have made everyone happier. He said that he didn't get mail the first mail call, but we have been flooding him with letters, so he should have a pile of it by now! (it took us forever to get his address though). He seemed in good spirits in most of them, (except one where he was ticked off at someone for having got them all in trouble).
