Any news from our group? I think this is hell week. Just wondering if others have herd from their SR's in past week. Ours called last Sunday to my ex wife and she dropped ball phone was dead. I know our family is picking him and another sailor up for thanksgiving dinner. Hope all SR's have a great turkey day.
Great news I got three letters in one today. What a relief. My son is doing great actually does not thinks it's as hard as he thought it would be. The reason he did not call on same day as your daughter James is because he was in some medical thing. They pulled his wisdom teeth actually he said they pulled 11 people's wisdom teeth. So he was pissed but he thinks he will be able to call this weekend. Feeling much better. Just thought I would give you update.
Thanks Patrick

Hey James, we got phone call today from son. Around 430 chicago time. Advised all was good said it was real cold. Being from Florida any cold is cold. He had a cold but was pushing through it did not want to go see doctor because he did not want to miss anything. Hope you herd from your SR. He did advise that he thought he herd they were possibly going to be able to make calls on Monday if needed.

I missed my call. Looks like she called 5 min after my wife and I took off for a motorcycle ride. She said she called her sister but we have not heard from her yet.
That's good to hear. I spoke to my sons girlfriend he did not call her either. I was wondering when your daughter called was it a collect call or did she use a calling card or was she able to just call straight out. Someone said they need to have calling card. If the that's case that may be why we did not hear from him. And someone said they have to earn phone calls. Let me know and I'll keep u posted. Thanks James
Oh not happy that you have not gotten a call or letter. But maybe that means the entire division has not made calls yet. That's what I'm hoping. All we can do is wait and see. But it's good to hear from other parents with kids in same ship / div. as my son.

We got our first letter from our daughter in this division. All good so far.

My son is there too. No calls or letters yet but that's okay.
They are all on Navy time - not mine :)
My Daughter is there also. Doing well from her phone call Saturday.
