WhoooHoooo!!!! I got a 2nd letter today in the mail from my son. He says everything is good but that there are definetly people in his division that bring down the whole division. He passed his swim test with no problem. He says that he hates watch duty...waking up at 3am to walk around and fix little dumbstuff in his compartment. He also says that he will not be allowed to have a cell phone until the 2nd week of A-school. He is going to Pensacola for A-school is anyone else aware of this...I thought I read on here that we could give it to them at the airport when they leave for A-school. He also says that they don't sent or receive mail on the weekends. He sent my letter out on Tuesday the 4th and it got to me in Jacksonville, FL today....so that's not too bad. It was a very short letter again...but I am glad I got it. Now I am hope to get a phone call this weekend...keeping my finger's crossed.
I hope everyone else that hasn't gotten a letter gets one this weekend! Take care!

Woohoo!! 2nd letter today! My son says he passed his swim test no problem and finished the mile and a half run in record time. He joked about all the deductions that come out of his first paycheck. He did have a fever, but it didn't seem to stop him too much. Says its hard to find time to write but I know his girl got 2 letters to my one- so I'm not buying it. He says the whole division is starting to work together as a team especially in marching. I guess it would take a bit of practice to get 80 guys to walk in step.
Hope everyone will share little tidbits so we can piece together a bigger picture of boot camp.

Just got back from same-day surgery and I received my 2nd letter! Whoo Hoo. He has passed all his tests (fitness assessment and swim) so far. He almost made the 2nd swimmer but his breaststroke was off. He says usually only 1 out of 80 in each division get it. Other than that, he sounds upbeat and tells me to keep sending letters It looks like his letters take longer since I am way out here on the west coast. Oh he has all teeth, they were too far up there (his words)

We've just got to send the letters to encourage them.. I'd rather know that my son got a good nights sleep instead of staying up to write letters. I want him to do well and I can't wait to see him at PIR!!!
Pray continuously.
