Form letter came yesterday! Received his box about 4 days ago. I'm doing better than I thought I would be at this point. He's my youngest of 2 children, so wasn't sure how the empty nest thing would affect me. So far, so good. Want to hear from more from Division 105!

We got a letter the other day and my son missed his phone call home due to being on bed rest because of wisdom teeth removal. How did everyone elses phone calls go. Any news on how they are all doing?
...Well put, Don!
We received two letters from Chris today and I'm very proud to say that I almost broke down reading his letters. He said that he loves the way his uniforms fit and that he loves wearing them. He's asked me more questions in the 4 letters we have than he has the last few years of him being at home. My wife read the letters to me and after I hung up with her I went to one of the other military fathers at work and told him "my son has finally grown up", made very proud. Thanks for giving us parents a place to vent and enjoy others that are going through this. I have always said the military families share a unique bond and I'm very happy for that!
Hello everyone. My son is also in this group. We have received one letter and he sent another to his grandmother. It definitly put our minds at ease after getting them. That long three weeks of nothing but running to see who, mom or dad, could get to the mail first was getting a bit much. My wife and I both have collision bruises. I went through bootcamp myself down in Orlando '89 so I thought I would be able to better understand and not worry so much about what my son is going through but it didn't help. I'm constantly worried about him. I'm hoping that the second call will come soon.
Got the first letter today!! He's doing well. Hope the call will follow soon.
Hi there, I also received my boy in a box and the form letter. Still no call :( and the waitting is driving me crazy because I am so sure when he is able to call he won't be get ahold of me. My son's name is Kyle and he will be turning 23 on Feb 22. I have already sent him a couple of cards so I am hoping to at least get a letter soon.
