FINALLY!

I finally got a call from Derek today. He seemed really down and he said he hasn't received any letters so he asked if I have written him yet. He is going to get a ton once they get there! That'll be a good day for him! They say the first feew weeks all the recruits are down like this. It's very normal. It's just so sad because Derek is always and up beat positive guy so it is very out of character for him to be upset! I only got to talk to him for about 30 seconds so the phone call is almost a blur. He said it sucks and he is really tired. The only reason he got a call today was because he didn't get one once he got there a week and a half ago. Poor guy. I had mentioned to those of you who asked for his address not to send anything well thats changed. If you really want to help him out send stamps and a phone card. Pictures are fine too just don't expect him to come home with them as they don't have much storage space and end up tossing most things.

His graduation date is also finally posted on the website. October 10th. Thats exciting! http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/family/upcominggrad.html

I'll keep you all updated!
