Oliver's mom received the form letter today that we've all been waiting for. I gather she’s the lucky one who got the letter and I on the other hand, ended up with the box of his dirty laundry LOL - go figure! It's all good though…
On the back side he wrote her a short comment. From what she tells me our SR is culture shocked with the instant transition to military life to say the least which is not uncommon but he's very optimistic. I’m certain that this status is shared by other SRs as well. By nature I’m a bit worried but we have faith that he’ll pull through and will continue to persevere. I know that all this will soon come to pass.
The form letter included a cover from the CO of RTC; our SR’s mailing address, ship and division number, graduation date and other important & helpful information for us parents. Looking forward to PIR on November 18, 2011...

Theresa thanks! We'll be mailing out letters of support and encouragement to go out on Monday...
Congrats on getting your letter. I know when mine finally came in I couldn't stop sending letters daily. Sometimes I found myself just repeating things I've already said the day before, but my son said he didn't care he enjoyed reading and rereading all the letters he got. He said that's what got him through it all. Good luck to your son and to you for the dirty laundry lol.
