Thanksgiving/ Operation Fireside

To add onto my previous post, I started a thread on the uscg.org forum to see if Dusten would qualify for the Operation Fireside program. Once again for those who aren't familiar with the program... It's an opportunity for the recruits to enjoy the holidays by being shuttled off base, and 'adopted' by a surrounding civilian family for the day. The family invites then to share in the food, festivities, and comforts of home... Usually allowing them to nap on couches and beds, use the telephone, and even do some web-surfing. According to a couple of people on the forums, Dusten should be entitled to this program; assuming that his company performs well throughout the week. Who knows... Maybe we'll all be hearing from Dusten before his scheduled week five phone call!!! :]

I heard that Dusten hasn't gotten any of our letters as of Nov 16. So Dusten, if you get to read this on Thanksgiving, we are writing!!!! Between everyone, you should have received at least 8-10 letters by now.
Please just know that we are sending our love and support. I hope and pray that you can call on Thanksgiving. Call our cell phones if you can. If we don't hear from you - Enjoy your day with your host family, and eat up, you know they will work it off of you on Friday!

How would he know about this site if he hasn't received any of our letters? And if he doesn't know about our site, then how is he supposed to get your message?

Just food for thought... Because you stole my jeans, and I've been frantically trying to find them. :]
