He has notr said anything about battlestations. He writes very little lol. I am lucky if I get 5 sentences. The only thing he said is I might want to go to O'Hare after 0300 if I wanted to hug him. I hope the whole division is doing well but other than saying he misses us my son does not say a whole lot.

My son is not from a family of letter writers, we did good to send birthday cards, but he has been writing to friends, his girlfriend, cousins, his dad, me... we are very fortunate. We call each other and read the letters, and it's funny because he doesn't tell me about things that might make me worry, and he doesn't cuss in my letters. :-)
The division earned a flag at their marching inspection. Also, my son said the division as a whole gets along well, which is apparently not the norm. They did get a "beating" Oct. 2 (push-ups and sit-ups) because some guys were playing with homemade dice which is considered gambling. (I'm at work, gotta go. Will give you more info later.)

yikes! she didn't tell me about that. Did say everyone was mad. The were promised phone calls and that didn't happen.

I bet that's why they were mad. It's bad enough having to do all those sit-ups and push-ups. But to lose the chance to make calls, that's tough!

the last minute they took it back. She said the whole division was sad and mad.
