I got another letter today! :) His phone calls seem so upbeat, but his letters have a more discouraged tone mixed in with all the good news. Probably all part of the roller coaster experience of boot camp. He mentioned that they are held to a higher standard because they are a sponsored division, but that he's willing to take on that challenge. He did say that he gained a lot of confidence with IT once he passed his physical test and that he got zero hits on his rack makeup inspection, so we never have to worry about him not making up his bed again! He is amazed by the size of RTC and said that when they are marching, he always feels like an ant; it's such a big place. A lot of the guys in Div 103 are from the South and he thinks it's fun that he's starting to pick up their accents! Some of his shipmates must be saying "ain't" as well, because he used the word twice in his letter, and that's not a word he ever used around his teacher mom! LOL He told me the last name of one of his shipmates and asked me to keep an eye out for his mom on this site! I may not be able to do that with just the last name, but I'm so glad he's connecting with someone since that is not easy for him. I can tell that the letters we are sending are really important to him, and he even asked me to write some more for the other guys that aren't getting any like I did last week. I have read the letter a few times now and I'm already looking forward to the next one! Less than 5 more weeks!

I think that's great that they are a sponsored division! Did he tell you who sponsored them? I heard a "chief" -- but that's all I got. And I didn't even know what it was about at the time so I didn't ask.
That's awesome about the physical test and rack inspection! I pray mine doesn't get 'dinged' - that's never been a strong suit! Ugh!
I bet he'll be saying 'y'all' too! : )
I will write some extra letters too! I hate to hear some of the SRs aren't getting any! : (

Is it weird that I log in just to see the PIR counter move? I miss my SR so very much today.

Carrie, just think in 4 weeks you will get to hug your SR!! I guess I don't know where to look for the PIR counter??

I can't find PIR counter either! Thought it was just me!

Carrie, I hope it's not weird, because I do the same thing! :) In fact, every now and then, I include the count in my letters. I know more time will pass by the time my SR reads it, but still I think he will like to see it going down at least as much as I do!
Laurablue and Karin417, I can't see the PIR counter on my mobile device, only when I'm logged into my computer. Maybe it requires a certain program installed to function?
