Got 6 letters from our SR this week, between Grandparents, us & GF, thankfully I love his GF, and we get along great!! So I get to read all his letters!! He sounded better then we did and of course, said it wasn't what he expected, and to his buddy leaving May 10, he said, They all lied to us, man!! lol And the best line ever, which I never expected to hear/read...... I don't get to do enough PT!!!!!!! Obviously he is on Ship Staff and says he misses out on things. But all in all they all were positive and he sound like my Matt!! Hope everyone gets letter soon! It's like Christmas eve here every Tues night!!

Is she in our division 147? Have you heard from her, have any news? LOL Hate the cut off feeling on it all and will eat up every little scrap of info I can! We've only recieved mail once, last week, and they we're a little vague lol Said he's doing fine and boot camp is boot camp, food was good and endless. haha Said all he seemed to do was study & fold! I know they are further along now then they were when he wrote the letters, so I hope its gotten easier on them all, and that they have adjusted well!

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what everyone had planned for the weekend? As far as I know we are going to get to spend all Saturday with our Sailor. We aren't from Chicago so just looking for suggestions!
Thanks!

HI Brenda...
There is tons to do in Chicago - the Navy Pier is definitely a choice... and the view from the Top of the Hancock building is amazing (especially from the ladies room). Lots of shopping too on Michigan Ave. it is called the Magnificent Mile. :)

My daughter said in her letter that she was craving a resteraunt named Chiptole, so I looked and they have one close by so we are going to do that. She also said she wanted to relax some and get her haircut evenly as she said they cut it unevenly. So, a haircut is in our plans for that weekend. I was looking at the Chicago visitor website and saw the Navy Pier, but that may be to much excitement. So, the rest of the time I think we will play it by ear on what she is up for. We are flying in from Texas and will be there though Sunday night.

That is sooooo Great!!!! I have only gotten the one letter :( he is not a writer so it may be nothing to worry about. But I do wonder if he has been in trouble. lol Of course... no news is good news as people keep posting on here.... so at least if he is in trouble then it is not enough to get sent home or to the brig! lol
