Got another letter today but I know by now you all have her address and no body is giving any comments so I probably won't be on here anymore until I tell you she is a sailor! Thanks All!

mail from Cricket

Hi Everyone, got mail from Cricket yesterday and she is doing okay. Can't wait for her PIR! She said to let everyone know that she hopes you all write but her time is limited, but she will try her best to answer when she can. They are only allowed to write on Sundays and I guess that's at certain times. She passed her swimming tests and her sit ups (61) and push-ups (22) She has her good & bad days but she seems to be doing fine. Next time I hear from her (usually on Wednesdays) I will keep you informed. Thanks, Rita

message from Cricket

Hi everyone, well we finally got mail from Cricket today! She said to tell everyone to write her cause they really do look for mail and hasn't gotten any yet and I have been writing since the day she left and mailing everyday too. On the return address after Ship 6, she added USS Constitution, so I would also add that on when you address the envelope. She didn't have it on the first time and I don't know if that makes a difference in getting mail. I hope not. Anyway she said she still hates it, but it's not as bad as she thought it would be, so she can't hate it that much! Spent her birthday getting physicals, dental check ups, and tons of shots that all hurt. To top it off she has blisters from the boots. All in all she sound pretty good and will not give up! So theres the update for this time. If you's have any questions let me know and I will answer the best I can. Thanks again, and please please write to my recruit! Rita
