Hang in there!!!

Lol.. His name is Gavin. It is an odd last name. I'd never heard of it until I met him(: He seems to be doing pretty well. He just says that he gets stressed a lot and misses me a ton. He did say in one of his letters last week that their division has the highest score in the ship! After BC he is going to San Antonio for A school; his job is MA. I unfortunately am not getting to go to PIR ): I am in nursing school and it is impossible for me to miss. Glad to hear that your SR is doing well!

Oh, you poor thing that you can't go... How old is Gavin and what is your name... I think Richard enjoys his friend ship and they seem to be sticking together!
Also, I will be there, so if there is something you would like me to get and give to him, please let me know and i will make sure he receives it... I am taking cupcakes to the boys so I'm sure they will enjoy that!

Hi Mattmother - I got a letter yesterday from my Matt and he too was SO discouraged, which in turn made me so sad. On top of their Div not doing well, on Halloween, they went and pulled his 4 wisdom teeth plus a molar. Said he was still swollen 2 days later. I though they did that earlier in boot camp. Why on earth so soon before BS?? That kind of dental work takes a while to heal. Sigh ~ one more week and it'll get better. He also said they were told to tell us no more letters. All in all, not a good letter.

My fiance had his two wisdom teeth pulled on I think the 29th as well but he said, it's because they ultimately decided that he should have it pulled now. He seemed to have enjoyed getting the rest, because their division was IT'd so much last week for people messing up.

Got a call from my SR tonight!! Div 008 won the Captains Cup and were rewarded with a phone call!! It was so amazing to hear his voice. He said that they all felt so good to actually get a "pep talk" for once!! (:
