Received my 3rd letter! It is dated 1/1/13 and postmarked the 2nd so I have no idea WHY I am getting it now... our mail service is totally screwed up in my neighborhood; time to complain to the post office.
He said they are, in theory, allowed to write everyday but their RDCs has only allowed them to write on Holiday Routine days. As of 1/1/13, they were still on week 1 but he was expecting Feb. 8th graduation. I miss him so impossibly much.
What is the most recent letter date you ladies have received?

My son called this morning during a second security clearance round of paperwork. He said tomorrow is the first academic test and Sarge said if they all get 4.5(?) or better they will get a trip to the phone room. He said he would do fine but seemed less sure of the whole group. He said they can receive mail everyday but he can only write on Sunday. He requested more visually stimulating things like pictures of friends in his letters. He leaves for Pensacola Feb. 9th and is there for 20 weeks. His rate is IT. When I asked how he was, he was just quiet. I think he is doing ok though. He said it is hard.

My SR is going to Pensacola for IT too, but he said it was only 14 weeks for him. He's been pretty sick AND homesick haha I sure hope they're all doing better. That phonecall will do wonders to all of us.

I got one Friday that was dated the 31st. My SO said that he was in his rack while he was writing it and hinted that the division might be getting into a bit of trouble. He didn't go into detail though.

I hope for the same thing one would think since they are a few weeks in already that they would not be doing stuff to get into trouble.
