Hello ladies. My husband is in 327. We got our third letter today. They had PFA or pre physical assessment on Tuesday. Apparently the division hasn't been doing well so no phone call this weekend. Hope all of you are doing well dealing without your sailor. My boys are having a rough time. Also shot out to The moms or signifcant others of Osio, DeBoss, Ramirez, Elhan, contini, Winbush, Taffe and Taito. These are the other sailors my husband mentioned in his letter that he has become friends with.

Hello. I am so thankful for this group, and can't thank the families out there enough who are helping each other keep their sanity through this transition. I received my first letter from my son this last Wednesday (he arrived at Great Lakes 8/19). He's doing ok. The first few nights were very tough on him, better after the first week. Still rough, but adapting. Thankfully he has met several bunkmates that encourage each other. One sings before they all go to sleep (hearing that made me want to go to boot camp....for a millisecond :)). Another provides words of wisdom for every life situation, and everyone loves him for it. My son also wrote that there are some in his division that don't know when to keep their mouths shut, so he expects to get in great shape from lots of physical training (lol). His letter was sad, but witty too, and he even educated his mama on some things. I now know what a peanut butter shot is :).
Again...so thankful for this group and am looking forward to getting to know more. Counting the days until October 17th. -

Sheryll my son also told me they had ALOT of talkers but he said they haven't gotten yelled at as much the last 3 days. I guess that's a plus!!
