Hey everyone! My son is in Div 192. By now he is probably known as "that really tall guy". :) I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you as our guys train together! I'm in West Virginia, where is everyone else from?

Hi All - My husband is also in Div. 192 and we're from Oregon - just wondering, has anyone received any letters yet? When I spoke with my husband (briefly) on Saturday morning - he said that he would be sending them out. Just wondering if anyone has received one yet?

I have only received the form letter, but am hoping to get a letter soon. My son called on Monday the 14th because he needed some info for his direct deposit, but that is all I have heard from him. He got to call his girlfriend Saturday the 19th - she told me he sounded good! He told her he was going to write letters on Sunday.

Hi All.
Just wanted to let you all know that I received two letters yesterday from my husband - as well as my military ID information. It truly made me smile. 43 days.

I received 2 letters yesterday! Yay!!! He said they were a good group and working together well. Anyone have any idea what training day they are on?

Nvymom3: My hubby said he could really use a hug. It broke my heart. I think they definitely miss that kind of contact - especially after being yelled at all day.

Hey Ladies,
I got a phone call from the hubby today - which was great. He, like everyone else, sounded just plain tired. He did tell me what day they are on officially - so 2-2 (tomorrow will be 2-3). He said that they have their first real test coming up, so all of them are preparing for that. Not too much longer!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention - they are making their division flag this week :] He said a couple of guys have put something together, and they are gonna decide sometime in the next couple of days. At least they have SOME kind of creative outlet there :]
