hey rj,

I think weight loss, sore feet, etc. will be a normal condition for our guys for the next few months, eh?

My son is asking me to send his watch to him. He didn't think he would be allowed to keep his during boot camp, so he left it at home. I wonder if I send it, will it be considered a care package which we are not allowed to send during boot. Any thoughts?

 hey,   rc      glad to  hear from  you  !    my mail  stop over the weekend  and after getting over

                100    messages  daily,   i  thought i had committed a security  breach

                    I  think  at this stage   &  in our  div.     i'd walk  the straight  &  narrow

                    i haven't  heard of anyone wareing  a watch    you'll   see  him on the   16th   

                    besides   someone  tells him  what to do  &  when !    my  sr  wants  us  to find an

                    eating place that  serves   PALEO   food     (  i think thats  how it spelled   )   

                     he misses his own cooking       hang in there        regards        rj

Thanks, Ruth! No worries... I talked to my son's girlfriend yesterday, and she got about a 10 minute phone call from him. He's doing well, but has a bit of a cold right now. He's pretty confident that PIR on March 16th is a GO for him, so we're going to book our flights ASAP!

Hope your guy is doing well too...cheers!

Hey All, we just got our second letters today. My son's tone was better than last weeks. I guess they are getting into a routine already. He really made me proud when he mentioned that the other day he looked in the mirror and saw me when I was going through the LAPD academy. Shaved head, oversized t-shirt and knee socks...so not like what he is used to wearing. Can't wait to see him on the 16'th.

Hey ss, thanks for sharing. Got our second letters today too. Yes, I know what you mean about "tone being better." My son sounds like he's kinda settled in...still pretty chaotic, LOL, but he sounds tuned in. He let me know he had a big inspection and some major tests coming the next day that he needed to get ready for. Those are the kinds of words this dad likes to hear...
