Hello MarchNavy!:) Glad you are here:) Welcome!
I am so excited, kinda! lol. I got a call from my son!!! Woo hoo! It was an "I need some medical information", so I didn't get to talk long:( I was sooooo good getting to hear his voice tho! He said he got was getting my letters and that he wrote me one! I haven't gotten it yet but hopefully will today!!:) Hope we all get letters today!!:)
that is so awesome!!! so excited for you....going to check my mail today incase they all got time to write Sunday!!!
Got a letter today!! Hope you ladies all got letters too!! :)
I'm glad you got your letter too:) It was such a relief knowing he was getting his mail and that he sent me on back:) I am excited and anxious to get it!:)
yay!! I am so glad you got your letter today! Mine didnt make today but so glad to know one is on the way!!:) I was worried he wouldn't even write! lol:)
Okay so I didn't get a letter yet. But I am so happy that y'all did !!!! SHARE THE DETAILS!!
How are they doing? Are they alright? Did they say who may have quit? OMG!!! I am so excited that y'all got letters!! It is like getting a letter by proxy!!! GIVE GIVE GIVE!!!! LOL!
I am so sorry that you didn't get your letter yet:( I'm sure it will be there soon!:)
Hopefully you'll be getting your letter today. I'll share some details that my son wrote about. First, he said that everything was great, but things were getting tougher. He said the food is great! He said "I even get desserts andCoke Zero." The weather is not bothering him, because they are provided with everything they need to be warm. Personally I thought the cold would be harder for him because we live in SC. He didn't say anything about anyone quitting. He said that he was making some good friends. He had a lot of sweet things to say that really encouraged me as well. Fingers crossed that you get a letter today.
I received a letter from my SR today! Short and to the point. He hates the weather there. He did say that he hasn't received any of my letters yet. I mailed them last Wednesday. So hopefully he has them by now.
So glad you got your letter too:) Surprisingly, mine said it wasn't too bad because they bundle up pretty good. I thought that would be the one thing he would hate!
