No, according to the main page (PIR 4/1/11) div 117 is expecting theirs on Monday. They say that they tend to go in order but not always. Also, I don't know if they can call on weekends. Another thing we have no clue about and sit waiting breathlessly for! Hopefully we will have gotten calls by early next week.
Congrats on the 5 letters! I had no idea about the wisdom teeth thing until I got on this site. So glad my SR already had his out! Hope your son is recovering okay and able to keep up. I can't imagine!

mysailorson~ok ty for the heads up. I'm so worried he is gonna call the house phone & not my cell. I can't remember what i told him or if he even remembers. He did say there were a few problem people who can't seem to get their act together. Hopefully that was just in the beginning of BC. It's a shame because they all feel the brunt. He said he didn't sleep for 36 hrs, but then got in 8 :) He's a tough kid who has been through a lot! I believe it is what is getting him through this :) The teeth did need to go. I couldn't afford beyond what was done here. I'm glad he will finally have back his handsome smile :)

Yes they will come out all buff thats for sure. He said they do a ton of marching drills. Hopefully everyone is in sync now, & they are kicking butt!
~I'm glad we have purple too! Now to find a scarf...

Hello All- haven't been able to check in lately, my 13 yr old broke his wrist playing football last Saturday so I now have 2 babies to take care of. I got a letter from my daughter and its so funny she said the same thing that she is tired of having to make up for others mistakes. But other than not liking getting up every morning at 5 she seems to be ok. Purple is fine with me; light purple or dark purple or does it matter?

There will be always be a few that have to test the odds!!! He seemed positive about eating healthy & lots of PT & such. From what i have read, the sequence of his letters show great maturity. They are definitely molding them into fine young men & woman.
I prefer dark purple, but i don't think it matters.

Someone in div 117 or 118 said they started calling at 1700 cst. (5:00pm central) We are in the same time zone so if my SR is among the first to call he could call in as little as an hour and a half. My girls have a crazy schedule tonight so I am hoping that we all get to talk, but it may just be one of us. I am leaving a list of questions for my husband if he is the one to get the call.
