Got the I'm alive call today...unfortunately because we are in California it hit during the work day...my son thought he had an hour, called Mom for 35 minutes at her work...then me and 5 minutes in to my call a chief came in and kicked them off the phone. But, truth is, best 5 minutes I can remember. Everything was going well...division is in a bit of flux due to the holidays and they are not on the traditional schedule. They are dealing with delays as those doing the testing, etcetera get holiday time off, but all is well. He was very upbeat and positive, and that comes from a future sailor that has faced some difficult times in the past month plus before this call. Hope everyone gets a call soon...might be our last prior to the end.
My son isn't in your division, he is ship 11 div 57, but I think he is the same pir. Two people from our division got their first letter Friday...we were not so fortunate yet. Heard horror stories about my sons RDP from the letters received, so who knows. Hopefully you will be more fortunate and hear from your children soon. Also keep your phone nearby, the 'I'm still alive' usually comes in the next week or so.

Thank you, and of course Navy beat Army!!! Hooyah! My son will most likely go D1 for football next year, as he was the #1 rushing fullback in California this year as a junior, and his dad and I would love to see him go to either Navy or Air Force to play! We are super pro -military...My hubby played inside linebacker for USC in the 80's with Marcus Allen and is now the Varsity football coach at our local high scool. Just got championship rings and almost made it to the State bowl game! I'm thinking my daughter will do just fine at basic training as she was raised in a "military" style environement! :) Her moms pretty hard core too! :) Go Navy!!!!

I have a feeling that our SR's PDays lasted 2 weeks, and this is why we aren't getting anything yet. I'm sure the holidays had something to do with it.

Hi there, my daughter is in this division and she left for bc on Nov 23rd. Have you gotten mail or phone calls yet? I have not. I know a few other kids moms in this div. also and they've received nothing but the form letter and the box.

it's typically 3 weeks after processing days that you start to get the letters and maybe a phone call....keep the faith!
