CONTACT 4/14/08

Nate mailed a post card that we rec'd today. To give you an idea as to how long mail takes, it is post marked 4/8 and we rec'd it on 4/14. I imagine it takes equally as long or longer for him to receive it due to it having to be processed through the Coast Guard after the post office processes it.

He states that it is really tough and he's very sore, but he is getting by. He is worried that he could get put back a week and not graduate with his group - apparently there are a lot of ways you can be left back a week. He said that if he graduates on time, it will be May 23rd.

He said he cannot receive newspaper clips.

Not much space to write and probably not much time to write anyway.

He also asked for mail - so if you have time, drop Nate a line... no packages, magazines or newspapers. Just cards and letters...
