Sailors girl and djaltic- My SR wrote a letter on Easter and it got here in NY on Saturday. They were just getting into their training. She said her RTC's are teaching them marching formations that divisions two weeks ahead of them can't do yet so she was excited. LOVES marching. The girls and some of the guys are chatty and are getting into some trouble. (PT/IT 'd or my daughter says 'beat' ) They still had not recieved our mail yet. Said her Mail PO said they only had a stack of 10letters for the division! Which is bologna because I think between me and my husband we sent that many! Hopefully they will have already recieved them. Keep me posted on your SR's. Have either of you made arrangements for PIR? We did. Staying at the Ramada Inn and going to the meet and greet. I hope to meet you there!
I can't believe he only had a stack of ten because me and my SR's mom have been sending letters like crazy. Thankx for the update Wendy it'sgood to know that they are moving forward. I'm staying in the Ramada too I don't know if I'm coming to the meet and greet yet.
Don't djaltic I have been stoocking my maillady and she is starting to get amused. My mom owns a campground so she brings the mail to the store. I'm always sitting on the bench out front. Still no letter through.
It was really funny I went to my SR church this past weekend to let them know how he was doing. Well i did hear from my sailor because I called the red cross about his grandmothers death. So I didn't have much to tell them. But anyhow his pastor's sermon was on the word wait and how that is the one word in the english language everyone hates. I almost laughed.
