We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

I received a letter from my daughter who is also on ship 03 div 036 on Wednesday. It was written on Sunday 11-4-12. She did say that we should be getting a phone call in the next week or two and said to make sure we had our phones with us at all times, to make sure we didnt miss it. I am sure you will receive something soon.Please keep us posted :)

My son is ship 03 div 035. I finally got 2 letters yerstday. dated last Suday and Monday. He said he likes it, He said the food is good and you get really big portions. He said he is limiting his portions and trying to eat more protein and 2000 calories a day. Like my other son who is in the marines. You don't get no privacy. Said he has made friends from every where. The air is really dry there and he has had 3 pretty good nose bleeds. Still don't know what his job is yet, so we are not sure where he will be going to A school. He said they really only get Sundays to write. He was going back to dental this week and was they was taking his wisdon teeth out. I hope everyone hears for their recruits.

Got our first letters from daughter last week (USS Hopper, Ship 3, Div. 35) telling us she will be staying after PIR in GL for her A School. We are leaving from LAX in CA Weds. with hopes of spending the weekend with her, and flying back on Christmas Eve. Looking forward to seeing her and hoping for a real soon.
