09/359 -Hi, I just joined this site. Wondering if anyone with a family member of 09/359 got a call tonight. We got a letter from our son this past Thursday and he said they would be able to make their first call today (Sat. 9/24). Its now 10:30 pm and no phone call. I don't know what to think. When he sent the letter Thursday it was dated Sept. 18 and he asked us to please write saying he was one of the only ones who hadn't gotten any mail. I was so upset. I had already sent him five letters and his sister had sent him a letter. I tried calling the RTC. They just said it takes a couple of weeks for them to get mail. I asked her to verify the address and we had the correct address. Now I am truely feeling helpless. For some reason he's not getting our letters and obviously we're not getting a call.

Hi foutsd! I did get a letter from my son on Thursday and he didn't mention anything about getting to make a phone call. Maybe they were hoping they would get to call. I am starting to wonder if when he wrote his letter if he had received ours yet either because he didn't mention anything about any of the things I had sent him. In addition to the letters I sent NCAA and NFL football scores, the season finale recap of one of his favorite shows. I asked if he liked these and if he wanted me to keep sending them but he didn't mentioned anything about it. I can understand your frustration especially if he is saying others in his div got some. I guess one way to look at it is there are probably about/at least 600 SR's in our PIR group and if on average each one received 2 letters that's over 1200 letters that have to be filtered by ship and then division. That doesn't even account for all the other SR's at RTC right now. So maybe it is just taking some time to get to him and since his writing maybe he has gotten them. Hang in there!
