My last one was Saturday as well:) I am hoping the mail person did it right this time and got them in the mail sooner and we get them by tomorrow!!:) Fingers crossed!! I know the pride you feel, such an awesome feeling!:)

Bearsmom, did you get a call? I did not. I know my son said that it would be next week, last week. UGH! When? I wonder if the division is not coming together...still, and that's why we're not hearing from them.

Bearsmom--I just read about your son, I am sorry to hear he was hurt.:( I am praying for him and you. I am glad to hear that he is able to get off light duty, that's a good sign. One thing about hearing about it now, is you didn't have all the worry for this week while waiting for him to be released from light duty. I know that doesn't help though:( I would be beside myself. Praying everything works out for his best. Hang in there mom!:)

Got another letter from our Division!! All I can really say is that it is definitely going to take some time for them to come together and work as a cohesive team...I hope they figure it out soon...

Viola, so glad that you got a letter, but so frustrated they are having a hard time coming together. Hopefully they are going to realize there is no "I" in team. Thanks for sharing.. :)

Ugh...:| I just wish they would at this point. It is so upsetting. Tyler said before he left that he wanted it to be a challenge. I joked with him that he asked for this, but it's really not a joke. I really don't understand why some of these men don't understand the importance of coming together and getting the job done. PIR is just 3 weeks away and Battlestations 21 even closer. Come on boys!

I am going nuts wondering about my son. I still don't know if he is going to be graduating in the 3/2 or not!!! He said in his last letter that if the division comes together, they will be ok. So, fingers crossed!!!

Lala - love the scarf, will email you about one :-) I'm going to be praying there group comes together like a well oiled machine this week, maybe then they will be rewarded with a phone call.
Take care Ladies and have a good day.

I got a letter today but he didn't say anything about how they were working together. He is running out of time when writing because he is writing his love as well. Hopefully he told her a little more and she can share with me. He said it was Saturday night (3-3 hold). I am not sure what it meant when he says hold? Maybe because they don't count Sunday, I don't even know if they count Saturday. I was going to look for the day by day thing and try to see what he was doing and how it worked. gavinsmom & ms sailor--My husband and I were just talking about it only being 3 more weeks!! I am so excited. These next three weeks I think will go by faster, at least I hope so!! I am standing in agreement with all of those praying for our division to mold together and work perfectly with each other! Was so good to get a letter! It is weird getting snail mail because it is so long after it is written before I actually get it!!

Leslie, I am so happy that you got a letter. I didn't, but my sister did, so that made my day. In the letter he sounded great, still. Things are tough, but they are moving right along. He didn't say much about them not coming together. He is a kid that bombs can be going off around him and he wouldn't know it, so I just wonder. We call him the "absent minded professor." I know that he isn't "sugar-coating" things either, because that's not his style. Oh, I just hope they are working together! Have a great day!!

I hope they are working together too! I am glad yours is doing good:) Mine sounds good too. He was excited to get his dog tags:) I can see mine not telling me anything bad so that I wouldn't worry:/ I wish he would tell me what is exactly going on because I would rather know and be able to pray what needed to be prayed!
