No letter for me today. Last week it was Thursday but week before Friday so maybe just running slow with Christmas rush. I also wonder if my son even wrote a letter for this week after getting to call again, he may have used his time for other things or maybe wrote some other family members which I am ok with, I feel so blessed with the calls and letters I have received during this adventure! Maybe tomorrow Boms_wife :)

I rec'd a letter from my son yesterday. It sounds like the overall mood is good. They had simulated weapons training last week. The Division is down to 64. Keep focusing on graduation, all - only 14 days :)

I haven't gotten a letter yet this week. Maybe today will be the day. I know he's written to his girlfriend a lot more than me. I know that's only natural, but, I miss hearing from him. I can't wait for Christmas, though! Because we're staying at a friend's house, I'll get to make steak and mashed potatoes for dinner - his favorite! :)

Still no letter today, but I got to hear his voice for a few minutes while I looked for the information he needed. On a bright note, I finally received my DEERS paperwork to get my ID.

Glad for you that you were able to talk to him - hope he sounded good :)

Finally got two letters from my husband today. He sounds happy, but tired. He says he got expert during weapons training!

That's awesome! Are you close enough that you get to go see him for Christmas Day?

I think you should tell him that getting through bootcamp is an accomplishment in and of itself. From my understanding, There are only 4 honor graduates in the entire training group so they sound like the chances of anyone getting an award is pretty low.

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Eve. Just received some letters from my husband. He said Div 47 has earned a total of 6 flags and 1 pennant for PIR. He said their RDCs told them that they are the top division in the entire training group and were asked to show the baby divisions the ropes this past Sunday. Sounds like everything is going well. Final PFA and final written test was this week but since I didn't get a call saying he didn't pass either one, I am taking that as a sign that he is good to go to battlestations. I can't wait til tomorrow to see if we all get phone calls!
