Anyone who spoke with their SRs from Div 366 know when they are going to be able to mail out letters? Was it this Sunday?

My son is in 365 and he said Sunday was the first day they were going to be allowed to write letters so I am sure they were mailed out Monday. :) I will be checking the mail tomorrow but I'm thinking it may be Thursday before it gets to Texas!

Hello All!
Let me preface this by saying, I live in Illinois about two hours away from GL, so mail delivery is extremely quick for us... with that being said...
We received letters from our SR today! YAY!!! (11/366) I think our mail lady was more excited than we were! LOL!
They were postmarked Monday, August 19th.
He is indicating on each letter (next to the date) which week and day of training he is in.
August 15th was Week 1 - Day 3.
He's doing great, many more "ups" than "downs" and really loves us sending him letters, jokes and pictures. He says he would prefer all wallet-sized pictures.
He also asked for Q-Tips and mole skin.

That's good news! We're in CT, so I'm hoping maybe by Thursday or Friday we get a letter:)) He should have a pile of them by now if they were allowed to receive all their mail!

OMG!! GOT LETTERS!!! I know my neighbors thought I had lost my mind. I grabbed my letters out of the mailbox and started running and waving my letters in the air, yelling, "We got letters. We got letters!"
She was S.I.Q. last weekend so we didn't get a call. So relieved to find out that was the reason. She is really upbeat and has made several friends already. Says it is hard but nothing she can't handle. Shots hurt! (duh) LOL. And she has already gotten to receive some mail!
It was great to find she is still happy with her choice because some aren't. Hope you all received such wonderful letters!! Navy Strong & Navy Proud. HooYah Ship 11-365
