My fiance is in ship 03 div 021 but my best friend got in the ship 12 div 024. :) I"m trying to keep tabs on both of their groups. I have already recieved a letter from my fiance, and his addressed arrived a week before my best friends. So I'm hoping my friends letters will arrive this week. I've already sent him two, I'm hoping he's gotten them, so he'll know that his family isnt the only one thinking about him and wishing him luck!---

Hello everyone. No letter today. Wasn't expecting one, just hoping as it is only Tuesday. Tomorrow will be a different story. My name is Jenifer and my son Nicholas is in Div 23. He will go to TX after BC for corpsman training. I'm hoping after PIR I will have a little extra time with him Saturday before he leaves. I sure wish I could make it GL for Thanksgiving, but if I can talk to him that would be great. So nice to be able to share this with other people that understand.

No letter today either....If I don't get one by the end of the week, I may have to start throwing lemons ...(like it is my mailman's fault...lol) Stopped in and visited with Lindsay's recruiter today. He is about to bust a button waiting to hear from them (Linds and the other girl that left the same day) too. Had to walk over to the wall where she signed her name and look at it again. Made me feel better.

My son is in 024 and from what I have heard their first letter writing privilage came this past Sunday. So depending on where you live and how long it takes the mail PO to get the mail out, you should get a letter by around Sat.

My daughter Tori is in div 23... No letter from her yet.. Hoping this week :) I have sent SEVERAL ! LoL .... Does the adopt a sailor program apply to SR's in bootcamp?
-
-
-
It only applies to those in pir 11/30 and has to be immediate family only
-
-
-
So Immediate family can fly to IL and pick their Sr up and spend Thanksgiving with them? or do you have to live near by to do that?
-

I think as long as you get the form (which you can write you SR and ask for it) then you can do it. Thats my understanding. Sadly my fiance cant have me check him out and his parents arent really much in his life.

So as i'm understanding this is that if our SR know ahead of time that we either live too far away to make the trip twice ( once for Thanksgiving/ PIR) then they won't send the Adopt-A -Sailor letter home, or if they just think we won't make the trip will they not send the letter home?? I'm confused, but what else is new :(
I'm so tired of running to the mailbox, the dogs aren't even chasing me anymore.They don't understand this new game..
