I'm sorry if I offended by saying cut the cord. That was harsh and this is a place of support. My son is 18, was a homebody and my baby boy. He had never been away for more than 5 days, but as an army mom, I learned fast that it is very strict and disciplined. With him being away, and not hearing from him and my 18 yo being a new sailor, I know how hard it is so I apologize for my rudeness. If your asking for a friend, that friend should join. I think we all realize some of the comments were…

In my son's div it was the same groups talking a lot when they are not supposed to be. Not working as a group, not following the rules. This is the military. Time to cut the cord. My now SA said he could never get used to getting in trouble for other People's screw ups. My other son is a combat medic deployed. When he's in the field, we may not hear from him for a week. Once your recruit gets on the bus, everything changes. We have to roll with it. Hang in there.

<p>I did a little clean up here in this thread, it was taking a left turn at the right corner. :) Everyone here on this site should feel they can voice their concerns or questions. We try and hit all of the groups, discussions etc, in a timely fashion to weed out stuff, but sometimes we just don't get there fast enough.</p>

<p>Phone calls can be given, and phone calls can be taken away just as fast. There may/might/can be a reason they lose the privilege, there may/might/can be a reason they are taken away. It can be your own recruits fault, it might be the fault of someone else, the RDC just might be in a bad mood that day and working off some steam. LOL.</p>
<p>Some who have lost a phone privilege may have the opportunity to call again, some may not. Just keep your phones close. Look forward to a call at any time, but never expect one. The "No news is Good News" holds true.</p>

<p>The mail can't be withheld from the recruits. There might be a delay f the RMPO is not doing his job, or is having trouble handling both training and the RMPO job. If that is the case he will be replaced with a new RMPO which will need to ne trained. Mail is not, nor can it be "withheld".</p>

Buttercup, I ask you to reconsider as sometimes the opinions of a few can outweigh the good. The intent of this site is to support and I know that the admins of the site would agree with me whole heartedly. There are many moms, wives, daughters, etc that are here to support. Sometimes people forget that everyone reacts differently to situations. This site has been very helpful in keeping me sane since my first son went off to boot camp in November and they continue to share, support and uplift…

I hope you will stay and see just how loving and support NFM really is!<br />

Wow. I can say that I never imagined that me asking these questions on here would get the responses it did. Because they are insensitive and frankly mean. Grow up? Not 10 year olds? It must be wonderful to be so smug and self righteous! I was concerned for my friend, and I asked some legitimate questions. She actually wasn't even questioning that what the RDC's were doing was correct, she was more upset that her son did something that caused him to lose his call, and I was hoping to help her…

She actually wasn't even questioning that what the RDC's were doing was correct, she was more upset that her son did something that caused him to lose his call, and I was hoping to help her get information about what could have caused it, and more importantly, could he earn it back. Instead, I got women saying that maybe they don't belong in the Navy. Way to offer support and comfort ladies! Did you even stop to consider my friends feelings before you wrote your answers? This is my first and last post on this website EVER, because if this is your idea of support, I will happily go without.

<p>Hey Shawnmom. I tried to reply below and it won't send. Anyway, I FINALLY got it ! Actually he called about the same time you were nice enough to reply. So,thanks. You would have made me feel better too. Now I feel great! He's doing better now in his new devision. That's all I needed to hear and now I can relax.</p>

<p>I have to say after reading several of the posts below I am very disappointed at the comments. This site was created for support and to answer questions of those parents who are new to the military life. To tell these moms that their children need to "grow up" and "should be able to be away from home without calling mom and dad" is very inappropriate.

<p>I have to say after reading several of the posts below I am very disappointed at the comments. This site was created for support and to answer questions of those parents who are new to the military life. To tell these moms that their children need to "grow up" and "should be able to be away from home without calling mom and dad" is very inappropriate. The post that was started for this discussion is a good question and one that I am sure several new parents are wondering this information as well.</p>
<p>In reading the discussion question it sounds that the the mom is merely wanting some information and support for a friend on the site who either can't or is afraid to ask the question. And after reading the below comments I can certainly imagine what she is thinking now! If you read the third question she is asking for information; not to accuse the RDC's, and not to accuse anyone's child.</p>
<p>As a mom of four children (all boys) with the oldest being away from home at boot camp I have learned a lot. We have always raised our children to be very independent and they have all spent more than one week away from "mom and dad" - for example, our second child (age 15) was a counselor at Scout Camp for 6 weeks and then returned home for one day and then went to another leadership camp for 2 weeks. We fully supported his request to do this and feel it encourages leadership and responsibility. Our oldest is currently at boot camp; I do not believe he would have a lot of difficulty with the PT (he is in relatively good shape) and organization (he has always been a very detailed person) but he is still 18 and has growing up to do. Since he first signed a year ago I have encouraged even more separation from home prior to leaving as I know leaving would be an adjustment for all of us. We knew that he would be gone for at least 8 weeks, and we would have limited "talk" time; but knowing and living it are two entirely different things.</p>
<p>I believe that the mom asking the question above merely wanted more information so that she could educate her friend who was not probably had contact with her child for 4 or more weeks; and although in the Navy "no news is good news" knowing that a call was not placed can be concerning. Perhaps the entire division is not following or correctly following a rule and these four boys were called out as an example.</p>
<p>Veteran moms; could you give more insight to the question noted above? Would reasons could include; being late? Being out of bed after hours? Failing a test? Not working together? </p>
<p>Also, for the mom asking the question above, once a call is "lost" can be earned back or is it lost for the duration of boot camp. I imagine that it would be easier for the mom either 1) to just plan that her child has lost the call for the rest of camp and she will just need to get used to the idea (unfortunately) or 2) know that there is a possibility of a future call. </p>

<p>Well said! I'm having a rough day today. I was sure I would get a call yesterday and I'm still waiting. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't know he was having a tough time already. I just hope he's not being punished because, it does make me feel that way too.</p>
