Just when I was about to give up on the mail..i got my first letter(s)!!!
Today is exactly 3 weeks since my recruit left to bootcamp, he left on Oct. 2 to be exact, and ever since then, i had been checking my mail every single day...but nothing, and today, i go and check, not expecting to get anything, and there they were, the letters i had been waiting for! surprisingly there was 12, along with a beautiful poem, i couldnt believe it and as soon as i started reading them i started to cry...tears of joy ofcourse...all he kept saying was how much he missed me and how bad they treat them:-/ that makes me sad but we both knew it wasnt going to be easy, all i wanted to know was that he was okay and that he hadn't forgotten about me, and by the looks of it, he definitely hasn't forgotten, so finally, today i'm at peace...so those of you who haven't received anything yet, just hang in there, i know how you feel, i was dying, but when the day comes, its gonna be an amazing feeling...we can do this!!

i'm sure you'll keep getting more, my SR mentions how they have no time what soever to even write so he only writes when he has a chance but even if its little the fact that we can finally hear from them is great! so i hope you keep getting more and i hope i get more too so time can go fly by faster, he also mentioned something about "its official, we can send and receive mail monday-friday, so im expecting more mail, im guessing its the same to all

Yeah, it makes it seem a lot faster when you get to hear from them then the days in between that drag. I got a letter last Wednesday and so did his mom. Saturday his grandma got a letter and Monday his best friend's mom (we're really close to her) got a letter. But none for me today. There's always tomorrow.

Hi Mimi... yes this site has helped me deal with things much better, nobody understands be better than those who are going through the same thing. And don't worry, i'm sure you'll be getting a letter sometime this week, they have to distribute so many that im sure some take longer than others. And well we're the same, 3 weeks down and 5 more to go, by the time we know it we'll be at their PIR...yours is on 11/30 too right?

well hope to see you there although there will be so many people! and yes it'll be hard but at least after graduation we'll be able to communicate with them much more since they can have their cell phones and laptops

My boyfriend left October 3rd and is in the same division! I am so glad somebody has finally received a letter. I'm about to lose it! I'm really hoping I get one tomorrow. I just want to know how he's holding up! :(

My fiance' left on Oct. 3rd, and I received my letter today. I really was not expecting it because I just received his form letter this past Thursday (Oct. 18th). That Friday I sent him 3 envelopes that contained 6 of the letters that I had written since he left.
Seeing his letter brought me joy that I can't explain and didn't expect. He sounded so upbeat, but he kept saying that he missed me. He said something about Oct. 21st was the first day that he was allowed to write and he waited until then to write because he was learning to have integrity...does anyone know what this means? Lol...it's funny because my honey definitely doesn't have an integrity issue. And it sounded so weird. I almost feel like he was talking in code. :)

I am so happy you finally heard something, but can't help but be a little jealous! Hearing that other SRs are upbeat is such a relief because being in the dark these past few weeks have me assuming the worst. In reference to your fiance learning to have integrity, my guess is that a civilian's moral differs from that of a sailor? Probably something to do with the lifestyle change. So glad others are getting letters. Hopefully tomorrow!!!

Congrats MissG!! Im sure you were as excited as i was and i'm thinking he was talking code, my boyfriend is bilingual so he wrote his letters in spanish because he said he didn't want his chiefs to read them, so i'm guessing they read the ones we send too lol

Maybe he meant he had integrity to only write letters when they were allowed. Like he didn't want to break the rules?

For those of you in Div 021, please send me a message, My fiance in that Div had written me about three different guys (I'm assuming guys? Can girls be in their divisions?) last names and I'd love to connect with their loved ones.
