After 9.5 months of pregnancy + an additional 21 years, my wife and I have a Sailor! We got the call today (Div 320). Our tickets to Chicago were not bought in vain! Hope to see everyone at the meet & greet on Thursday.
My son commented that he had been issued an iPad during boot camp, and that they were going to allow them to use email! I told my wife that I'd believe it when I saw it - of course the very next Sunday I got a text from my son asking which email account we wanted to receive our communications on. Hmmm, we were able to exchange a few emails before the privileges were over. He told us that he would probably get to do this every Sunday. Well, his PIR is this Friday, and needless to say we haven't received any additional email correspondence (oh well). At least we already know his official navy email address!
My son gets a second call. I was travelling back from a business trip and was anxiously awaiting his call before I boarded my connecting flight. Shortly after I was seated, he called! Since I was wearing bluetooth headphones, I tried to set down my phone...AND HUNG UP ON HIM! about 45 seconds later he tried calling back as I was manipulating my phone between screens - as his call came in, I hit the deny button. Luckily, he was able to get my wife on her lunch hour and was able to talk to her for the better part of an hour.
Funny story...well, at least now it is! My son called after 3 weeks at boot camp. I was home, looked at the number, and figured it was a telemarketer so I didn't answer. Refused a second call from the same number (persistent SOB). Went and walked the dog and discovered that I had voicemail. Of course, it was my son who had been trying to call!
Even better, my wife was working and couldn't receive his attempts to contact her either - poor kid, a total washout!
