My son Zachery shipped on Jan 31. We just received his box of clothes today, haven't gotten the form letter yet, but my wife has been writing and sending letters everyday since he shipped. I've written three letters so far. We are very proud of him. Joining has been a dream of his since he was about 13.

My son Alex is in this group. We also received his box yesterday, and the form letter today. I have also send him 3 letters and the family has sent several. I really look forward to him writing back, and a phone call. Alex will be joining the SeaBees. He is our youngest child, my wife and I are two extremely proud parents.

Just wait till the big day arrives..PIR. All of this will be worth it.
