my son is in division 062. I just got two letters from him last week. Man it was good to know he is doing okay. Says his division is great. I will ask him if he knows your husband in my next letter. This sight has been great to meet people that are going through the same thing.

I know! It has helped me a lot, I think I would be going bonkers by now without it.. I love the community and just the over all willingness of everyone to help each other out.
:) I think its neat that my hubby is getting to meet everyone in our group by doing the mail gig/getting to know them better, it feels neat to be able to be like "say hi to so and so for me, that's my hubs!" And I bet both parties will get a kick out of it. I am bad at explaining things.. I don't know what I am trying to get at. -

That's okay sometimes i get a little lost in my thoughts too. I heard we might get phone calls on Week 3 day 5 which would be this week. correct????

It depends on when it started, I am not sure which was day 1-1 for them. My SR did not tell me =(. I do know that if they do well on their upcoming test they get a 10 min phone call.. so hope they are all studying hard!

So the newest letter I got was sent out on Dec 23rd. At that time they had already taken their physicals.. Which sounds like a good amount of testing, I know I couldn't do it! At the time they were studying for their next test, I hope they all did well.. by now they may have already taken it!
Some of our boys may also have gotten some of their teeth removed, which gave some a nice 2 day break to catch up on writing/letters/studying/relaxing...!
Thomas spoke about some of the guys he is making friends with.. one of his new friends is from Africa, I think his name is Quansah. .. then he has another friend he calls Jersey, guessing that is where he is from. :)!
He is finding it interesting and a lot of the men/boys have tons of questions for him because he is one of the few odd balls.. Guess only six of them are married! They all keep asking to see a picture of me, which I finally sent one to him. :)Anyone have anything they want to share about your boys? :) I just find it neat when I hear someone saying something about my hubby in one of their letters that they received, so I like to share to try to do the same.. It just gives me a feeling of almost being there.. Its exciting!

i'm still waiting on another one from my boyfriend. i really hope they all do well on that test if they get a phone call for it!! i'll let you know what he says when it comes. i was wondering if it was ok to send a pic to him? but if your husband asked for one i'm assuming a small wallet pic would be ok??

Small pictures are fine, dink. He said that most of the guys brought pictures with them.. and that having a picture really helps.. Mine requested I send him one ASAP! I bet it would make your boyfriends day to get a few different pictures from you. :)
