First letter from son!

I know all of us stalked the mailman when we'd see them coming down the street. You live for those letters and I still have everything that he sent us. Now it's waiting for the next email or Skyping each other.

Ha-Ha vabchsue, so true. I just wrote our son Nick another letter. He has been able to call home four times since being at RTC (once was for clearance info). I haven't been able to talk to him yet. I was at work when he called my cell last night. It was nice to hear his voice on the voice mail he left me. My wife is always the lucky one who gets to talk with him.

That's good futuresailor, from what our son has said, he is struggling with the running portion of the PRT a little bit. And he's in pretty good shape. LOL

I think that I'm really clsoe to being in shape to pass the initial PFA. Currently I can do 70 curl ups, 34 push ups, and my mile and a half time is only 2 minutes over the time that i need which is 12:53, since I will be 25 years old by the time that I leave for boot camp. Although I still need to lose 12 pounds in order for my weight and height to be proportional to each other. I've already lost 11 pounds since I joined the Navy in May.
