It was mailed Feb 22nd. In the letter before that WED he said he couldn't for a while. He need to sleep and study. Then on FRI we got another one which was DOWN. He address this one only for his Daddy. I think so too! The really are being PUSHED to the MAX I think. But it is hard not to be able to put your arms around them. You ladies KNOW what I mean! Only you guys truly know how it feels to want to help your child the way you always have but can't. But the man will come out of them with all of this that is the prize. (GOOD GODLY MEN)

Thelma. You are in the right group. Have you received any letters from your son? I think we get more information on N4Ms than they do LOL
Welcome aboard!

Thelma- The information we got is in the form letter. Did you get that? If not, I am sure we can get you a contact to get the information you need.
I did get a letter today, dated the 26th. He said basic is going good. He got his "Marksman" ribbon. He can't believe that 6 weeks of being up there in GL has flown by. This was week 5, 5-1 was Monday, according to his letter. Next week is week 6 and they will be getting ready for BS21. They are the first ones through BS21 and done with training in the training group. Also, they are the first division, from what their RDCs are telling them, to enter the Drill Hall on Mar. 16th! That's great news, isn't it?
How is everyone holding up? Looking forward to hearing how your SRs are doing.

Welcome Thelma!
I didn't get a letter today (pout)...it has really been a long time since the last one (pouting again!) The last letter was dated 2/14 and 2/15 (he added some stuff onto the 2/14 letter). I met the postman at the mailbox today. With a smile. Tomorrow I'm lying down in the middle of the road like a speed bump. It's gonna get ugly up in here!
