I've been spending letters since the 10th. I got his first letter last thursday the 18th. Which told me to change the ship. And since then I have been. :(

Well it depends on how slow the mail is if you got a letter out on the 19th with the right address.. hopefully he gets it before Sunday this weekend but if not I would be almost positive that he will get it in time for him to tell you he got it the next Sunday.
This whole wrong ship thing sucks.

Go to your postoffice & fill out a change of address card. They will forward you mail that has your old address to your new address. It will take about a week more to get to you but at least you will get his letters.

Got my second letter today! He was so depressed to have no recieved my letters so far! I really do hope that changes!!!! I cant wait to get a letter from him once they have gotten to him! He had to have his wisdom teeth pulled out last week, So they had him on some heavy medicine. And he also caught the stomache flu!! Poor baby had one night of nothing but hugging the toilet. He's also depressed cause he failed his PT due to the stomache flu. Thankfully he passed the swimming test with flying colors, and feels a whole lot better so he doesnt worry about the next PT Test. He said he hates that the instructors keep telling them all about how their wives and significant others cheated on them while they were gone to BC or on deployment. One whole page was him telling me how much he loved me and how he's worried this will be too hard on my and break me. I cant wait till he gets my letters :) He'll know then how much i love him and how all i think about is him. God i cant wait for his next letter.

I was wondering the same thing, like I bet at least half the stories of being cheated on are made up just to try and make it as hard as possible.

Thats my biggest worry. I've received two letters from him and he hadn't gotten the 20+ I've sent him. He sounds so depressed. :(

Wow right after i posted about getting his 2nd letter he called... OMG.. I am a happy momma. He said they just got a lot of mail yesterday that was in the mix up from ship # so most likely they all got your letters. He said he is doing great. He sounded so different. He said the whole division should be able to call today so everyone keep your phones on :)
