Scott - honestly, I didn't know my son actually knew how to write a letter, let alone his address! All my son ever did was TEXT on his cell phone! and since he didn't have that ~ I thought for sure it would have been a long 9 weeks! However, he said on Sunday's the RDC's tell them to "WRITE HOME!" Granted my son's letters are short and to the point ~ I told him they are very much appreciated! Even though they may not write back as much as we would like, they are getting them. My son told me today, its the letters from home, from friends and family that have been the inspiriation to get him through these past couple of weeks! He looks forward to the MAIL CALL at the end of the day ~ yesterday he got 5 letters, and had to do 50 pushups for him, but he said - NO PROBLEM! Just to get mail from home ~

Thanks Dan, We got his Address last night. I mailed his letter today,also his wife did too. Brian is not much for writing so we just don't know what the delay is. As I said not one note yet from him as to his address or anything else.I know what it is like to not hear for a while as I grew up in that kind of life,his wife has not. It will be hard for her this Christmas and their sons birthday is 01-01-2010. I guess its differant with kids as my wife got used to it.

Just got a letter from Patrick ship 13 div 052. PIR Jan 15. Said that he got his E2 rate. I guess this is unusual. I just wondered if it will take a long time to make E3 since he got this so quick. Also he said his a school, Gas turbine, is now 15 wks long. Any info on that would be a great help. Merry Christmas to all!

Scott - i know it took me about 10 or so days before we got our 'actual' first letter from my son. and it has been 23 days since we got to actually physically talk to him on the phone! :) .. sooo keep patient.. keep writing letters, and when you get the address, send them. Tonight my son told me they don't have hardly any time to write, but its the letters that keep him chugging along!!!

Hi Dan, Brian reported in Dec 15. We got his box last friday but no letter yet.Go his 5 second hi-bye call last Tuesday night. Guess with the weekend weather the mail's running slow.

We got another letter from Rosie today. Things seem to be going well. They made her the Division Religion Petty Officer. I got a real kick out of that, especially after they took her Rosary away from her during P-week. We may get a phone call tomorrow so I've put the whole family on phone watch.

I hope everybody has a great Christmas!

Hey Scott ~ when did he go in?

Haven't got a call or a letter yet from my son Brian. Did find out through his recruiter his Address Ship 14 DIV 99. Driving us and his wife nuts.

Dan, Marty
Mom got a phone call. They talked for about 26 minutes. He says he missed one on a test and they game him a call.
