We received our first letter from Jermaine yesterday. He seems to be doing well. They made him guide so he marches and controls the platoon. It is an amazing feeling to get that first letter and know that he is doing okay. I think we would have gotten the letter sooner but he had the house number wrong. Hopefully he will get the next one right so it won't take so long. We are just glad to have gotten one. On the Marine Mom's board they say that sometimes you don't get a letter at all except the first one which is a form letter. So we are pleased. Three weeks down, ten to go.
