@debnchris I am flying in with my husband and our 16 month old son. We are flying in Monday night just so we would make the meet and greet. We are coming back home Saturday morning.
I was rushing home from work today to check my mail and I didn't get any letters. Glad to hear that they are coming though.

Hey everyone! Our mailroom just called to tell me that I have a letter, I RAN down there as fast as I could. My son is on SHIP 13 DIV 15. He said they took their first physical test and he passed, and they are waiting on their DEP test to come back. He is praying that he did well and will be an E-2. He aslo said that they will have their frist inspection next week. Keeping my fingers crossed that all the boys do well. He said boot camp is about to get really hard if everyone cant start following simple instructions. I am not sure what that is all about but he is wanting them to pull together as a team. His handwriting is terrible so he is hoping they dont have him write in the logs anymore! LOL He said the boys and himself were all pretty home sick but that is getting better. They are all making friends. He said if they do pull it together they will get to make phone calls in a couple of weeks. So keep praying that our boys can pull together so we can ALL get a phone call soon. One thing that he did say was THANK YOU so much for the pictures, I have been printing pictures of the family on a page and then writing on the other side. So whoever suggested that, THANK YOU! Apparently it does them well to have something to look at! Hugs to everyone!
