I am SO worried that I will miss the call...ugh...=) Am so excited for graduation !!!
I've gotten two letters and one phone call. He writes that he hopes to see us on 11/8. He said it in his phone call and that date is written in his letter. His PIR from the form letter has 11/4 on it. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Kriss
Hi Kriss,
I have some questions about that too. Our SR's division is suppose to be a push division. He told us he would graduate perhaps the end of October, but his letter said Nov. 4th. The number of weeks don't add up. I'll pose a question to RTC to see where we can find out if Nov. 4th is accurate.
My son is also on ship 09 div 364. Haven't received any phone calls yet but I got 3 letters last week. Looking forward to graduation on 11/4.
I finally got my phone call last night. We talked for about 30 minutes. He is doing alot better than in the beginning and is really starting to like it. I can't wait to hear from him again!
I got my second call as I was driving our loud stick shift jeep so he was really hard to hear. He had a hour of talk time so I had him call his dad once we were done. I got some questions answered. They will only get one more scheduled talk time and they don't know when it will be. This one and the previous weren't on Sunday. So I expect it anytime. He's doing a lot of paperwork. He keeps insisting that his PIR is on11/8. Today, 10/4/11, is week 3-1. He says to expect another letter.
Kriss
