That's the downfall to a call at three weeks....much better to wait until week 4 when they start to leave home behind and become part of the Navy family.....

I think so to. It isn't really a full three weeks yet either so the recruits are still feeling their way through things and getting used to Navy life. However, we where glad to hear her voice and let her know more letters are on the way. We've been writing one a day for the past ten days or so. She won't be without reading material. Ha!

Thanks for the note; I loved your comment about folding cloths.  After three years in the Navy our son has gone from gonzo-maxi-slob to one of the neatest people I've ever met.  :)

Your advice to her was great, "focus on the task at hand", everything else will pretty much work itself out and PIR will be here before she knows it.

That's how I feel about it too. I told her before shipping out it would go by quickly and just take it day at a time.
