Received my first letter from my son yesterday...ship 11 div 69. He's sounds well, but is complaining that his group is very immature ( he's 22), and undisciplined. Hope things turn around for this group and they work together!

First letter today.....mostly about priveleges being taken away.....sounds like a tough crowd.

Ducky, it's a shame for the ones who are doing the right thing. Where are you from and how old is your sailor?

I am from Colorado and she is 20. She said they are an integrated division, and she is grateful that there are fewer females.

My son is almost 22, Ducky and we are from New Jersey. What is an integrated division??
-

I'm not really sure, she just said that instead of 80 females in her division, there are 40. Said it cuts down on the estrogen...:)

Overall it was a funny letter, her sense of humor is intact. But she said they lost privileges right off the bat, so I hope things get better. I've heard other moms saying that their older SR's are also frustrated with the immaturity levels.

My son is very serious to begin with, so I'm sure he's very annoyed with the ones who are acting out .
-
-
-
My daughter is not one to act out, she is there to get the job done and move on....so I'm sure this is bugging her too.

Hopefully, the younger ones will look up to the older ones and follow their lead!

It might depend on a number of things. He may have been on watch during the first letter writing session on the 9th. They may have had privileges taken away. He has probably received the letters but their time to write is very limited. Hang in there, you will hear from him.
