Yippee...a phone call at 3:30 pm PST here in Seattle yesterday. My son called me at work...such a fabulous surprise :-) He said he passed all his tests so far. His birthday is next Monday and he is sorta bummed about that. He said they all really look forward to mail call, food & sleep...not sure if in that order :) He did say he got all his wisdom teeth pulled the week after they arrived and his jaw still aches but otherwise doing fine. Still scheduled for 4/22 PIR and then he goes across the street for A-school so he'll be staying in Chicago. His only request is keep the mail coming and he'd like more pictures included of family, pets, friends, home, etc. :) Miss him so much but so proud of him!!

My daughter is the same ship/division. I think it is a brother/sister flight/ship. I was married to Air Force for several years so that is the military lingo I know! :) She called yesterday and sounded fine....tired but fine. Said they yell at them alot but she is the Yoeman for the Division, so I am sure she is getting yelled at ALOT. She is homesick. Said alot of recruits were getting sick becuase the weather is bipolar there......said she had to get five fillings the other day from the dentist. I told her they were using her as a medical hobby shop because our dentist said she was fine before she left! :) She just laughed! Very anxious for PIR and said she hopes to call again in a few weeks. Said I will have to live on letters now! :) Hope there is one in the mail waiting for me after work! :)

Hi Lonna, my son sounded tired but positive as well. He said the same thing when I asked if he had a cold and said that a lot of them were sick off and on since he got there. He said his job was laundry, he thought I would get a laugh out of that one...LOL, indeed!

Hi DIV 147,
