Hey everyone! 

 

   I just got the letter from RTC with Ashley's address and grad date (May 06,2011) Does anyone else have a future sailor on the same ship and division?

Nice to meet you aveoamare and Jenn!

I'm not one for handwritten letters. And what a lost art that is! It's been so long since I've handwritten anything besides grocery lists that I'm finding I can't even read my own writing! LOL

 

The mailman is my new best friend and cell phone is @ my side 24/7! ;-)

 

 

OMG me too, my cell phone doesn't leave my side...I actually went into the shower yesterday and realized I had forgotten my cell in the dining room and I actually left the shower to go get it.  You never know when that phone call is going to come in!!

 

And I was thinking that I hope my husband can read my writing....my hand writing is horrible.

No worries. Your husband will have no problem reading your letters! He'll appreciate them because they're from you.

well if anything else it will kill some downtime for him when it takes him 2 hours to read one word! LOL
Good Morning everyone.  I changed my profile name. :)  Have you seen Friday's PIR pics.  I love looking at all the pics.  I guess our SRs might be in those pics in a few weeks.  My son sounded proud that he is in this division and will be flags or drill team.
Ds, my daughter is in the same division!! Her name is Ashley, I wonder if they know each other.

DS.. thanks for changing your name!  LOL  It was cumbersome to write Dminnesotamom.. LOL  :)
well.. just about 1 week down of actual BC.. wonder how they are faring? 

LOL.. thanks! :)

I realized that I was getting you and dereks mom confused! :)
Jenn

Oh gee, sorry for the confusion...lol
DSmom/DKmom  LOL all the same ship/div.. you girls can't confuse a blond like that! :)  LOL

well.. mine no longer is natural.. comes from a box b/c I have so much gray, it is bad!  :/

But, since all my kids are blondies, it doesn't look "unnatural"!  :)  LOL

Hi ladies, Can anyone help me out? Is this the proper address format?

SR. Last, First Middle

Ship 2 Div 925
3600 Ohio Street
Great Lakes, IL
60088

The form letter said the zip  60088-7105... But when I received a letter from my SR the 7105 was crossed out... Just wondering because he called today for an address and he said he hadn't gotten any letters.. I just want to make sure i'm addressing them properly.. Thanks!
