Well I guess I was thinking that by the time he gets the letter & writes back we will be in GL, our mail is about a week & 2 days turnaround from when he gets our letters & we get his. Plus I was wondering if he would have the same address after PIR & since they 'move' that day I dont want a letter to get lost in the mail...hmmm maybe I should write through this week??

From what I've read we can expect our "I'm a Sailor" calls any time from today on. My son's fiance can't get calls at work but she can receive texts, so if anyone starts hearing from our 815 guys and posts here about it I will text her; she wants to leave work to take his call! Just one more week...we can't wait to board the airplane to see him and all of the other great men of 815! Have a wonderful day!

We got a letter today and our son sounds great. He is doing a count down also, he has positive things to say about the division and all the guys. Sounds like they are doing a good job as a group! See you all next Thursday, can't wait!

Got our letter today too. Loves the guys but ready for BC to be done. He can't wait for pre-Buds and to really start working out again. He makes me laugh with the things he says. Love his letters. :)

It sounds like the guys in the division are of the same mind - ready for the next step, wanting to work out, etc. Mine says the guys are helpful and they are really coming together as a team. He also told my he got orders for Cali but I was so surprised I forgot the date. Does anyone remember?
