first letter received! He said everyone is sick with "recruit cough" sounds like a cold. He said the close quarters takes some getting used to, but he has 2 brothers so it wasnt too bad. Also there are no doors on the toilets, so hard to get used to that. His letter was upbeat, said everyone passed physical and swim tests so far, and they are doing a lot of exercising. He was doing pretty well, but he hadn't received any mail from us yet, and I ve sent a lot. Also a lot of snoring going on in this division, he said that is helped along with everyones congestion.

Got a letter from my son SHIP 13 DIV 042. It was written on Thanksgiving and mailed on Monday. Nice to know how long it will take to get his letters. He said the Division was having a hard time getting it together, but that the food was good. He joked about falling asleep in the dentist chair while he had his front two teeth fixed. (They were chipped in a car accident and had been "fixed" three times by his "dentist" back home...hopefully the Navy got it right!) Didn't have to have his wisdom teeth out so that was good news!
