Got another letter today....we just get the bare minimum, thanks for all the details. He sent us his list of all of the things he wants us to bring and said to mail his contacts today, so I will be mailing tomorrow morning, he does not want to wear glasses for graduation. He said he was ordering lots of pictures,the keel book and dvd, so not to worry.  Plus he said he was buying other stuff (I think the tshirts and sweatshirts) too, that it is great having money to buy lots of stuff. He sounded so good, he just wants more sports news, especially on the Patriots, we send out a couple times a week, but that is not enough! Can't wait to see them....2 weeks!!

thats great! mine wanted sports news too, and wanted us to record the superbowl for her. (for the commercials, since our team didnt make it this year)

My daughter said that the new recruits coming in now are getting much better glasses. they are smaller frames. They called them BC glasses (Birth Control) lol, maybe the new ones will be able to drop that nickname. lol
