Hi Ladies,
Received another envelope with a bunch of letters. He said he's BORED! lol Sounds like Brandon, but he did say they were supposed to start some interesting things soon. As he put it, snail mail , so these letters are from last week.

Can't wait!

Hi all. We received a call at my son's Air Force graduation. She called in hopes to talk to her brother and she missed him by 3 mins. It was so good to hear from her. She everything were going very well and that they actually were doing some fun things. I cannot believe it is almost over. I am sure it seems long for them, but graduation is just around the corner.
Does anyone know if we can have banners at graduation? We were allowed at the Air Force Grad.
Hope everyone is doing well and look forward to meeting you all.

Hoping for a letter today. We got a call from her last Saturday. We started talking and about 3 minutes in she said "oh, gotta go. love you" and then she was gone. About 3 minutes later the phone rang again - I looked the caller ID and answered "Hey, you're back!" She said "yeah, we got another 20 minutes" then I heard a bunch of yelling in the background and she said "make that 10 minutes". It was great talking to her. She is still doing fine. She passed her personal inspection and did well on her simulated weapons testing.
I can't wait to see her! I told her that our dog is also in boot camp. We dropped her off (she is a lab puppy) with a doggie boot camp last week and she will be gone for 2 weeks. Now it is really quiet around our house. We told our daughter that Jitter (that's our dog) is probably doing pushups and has to stand at attention all the time too!

Jitterbug,
That is exactly how our call went. She wanted to talk to her brother so bad.
I have to laugh about the Lab Puppy. I have 2. A black and yellow. They are the only thing keeping me sane right now!

Our calls went the exact same way. Once they say "I have to go" that's it. I was so happy when she called back!
We received several letters yesterday and she sounded good. Just really trying to be ready for this week.
It sounds like they will get another call so hang in there Teresa..I'm sure he will get ahold of you!
