Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that we got a letter today! Dated Jan 1. And she mentions some of your SRs! My daughter writes,
"I got your letter about the Navy For Moms website. I DO know those peeople! (Ellen's SR) is our master-at-arms for the division. He is a big teddy bear, even though he has 70% of his body covered in tatoos :). (hermomi's SR) is two bunks away from me and is going to corps school. She is a hoot to be around because she is from Jersey." LOL! --Now that our SRs know each other, and know that we know each other, this experience is even better!
My daughter writes that the division has gone from 97 people down to 84 due to ASMOs (medical, PT, code violation dismissals). And she said she was let go as a 'stick' because regulations state that 'sticks' must be 5'6" or under--she's 5'8". But she got a new job as the medical yeoman. That job allows her to get outside for a bit by herself and collect recruit medical appointment requests from all over the base.
She sounds really good in her letters and she mentioned that she is thankful for all of the friends she's made there. And I'm really grateful for the friends I've made here!

Hey! Just jumping in on the scarf discussion...white sounds great to me! I got a letter at the end of last week. My SR is doing well. Definitely missed home on Christmas and not enjoying the 4-5 hours of sleep (he can sleep for 12 hours straight and still take a nap later on). Can't wait to get another letter!

Gosh! A girl goes out of town for a couple of days and the message board just explodes with new stuff! Currently in Alabama (thinking of you, robin and lori) and found a minute to sneak on a computer. We wont be home until Saturday night, so I'm hoping there will be a letter waiting and I'm going to keep my cell phone glued to me until then and just pray I don't miss a phone call. I am so enjoying reading about everyone's recruits! Everyone have a good evening!
