That is so good that all our boys are sounding positive!
Nice that the teeth are done. Funny about sitting down! Matt said something similar about the dental work.
I hope it's not my boy who's doing the chatting but I wouldn't doubt it. He had trouble keeping his mouth shut in school (class comedian) but he does have manners so maybe not.
So happy for all of us tonight. Can breathe but want to cry now. Still going to be a great weekend!
Sure hope everyone in 025 & 026 got a call.

I was thinking the same thing, Mattsmom!! But I know better, he's not the chatty type, especially when he's tired!! But the *young group* had me worried. My SR turns 18 the DAY of graduation!

Aahh what a special day it will be for him and all of you! Mine turned 18 two days before shipping out.
I'm sooooooo happy tonight I can barely contain myself!!!!

Got 20 minutes with our guy!
He is section leader for 026. Makes my momma heart happy! Hasn't been to dental yet, that's next week. No blisters! I asked him and he said *I'm the only one, I know how to tie my boots!* lol! He was still a little wobbly at first, but sounded better the longer we talked. His oldest sister was here when he called! Made both of them VERY happy. No swimming yet, shooting either next week or the week after. He said he is on day 1-3. Does that sound right? He said *I think* so . . .
Told us he is going to go to church tomorrow and write to us :-)
I'm trying to remember everything he told all of us . . . lol!

Section Leader? Way to go! Love the comment about tieing his boots!!
Nice that he got to talk to his sister too!
Hmm..not sure about 1-3. Wouldn't that mean week 1 day 3? I heard they do their weeks our of order sometimes. I'm going to ask and see if my SR knows when their Battle Station date is?
So far the dental stories are all good which is good news for your boy. He said he slept for two days and was happy for that.
Oh ya, and Matt said he wrote me...ahh..can't be any happier tonight!

Ahhh . . . I forgot to ask about battle stations. Gonna start a list of ?s and keep ity by the phone.
Really hoping for a letter Monday now!
And yeah, I was confused about 1-3. Seemed like it should be more?
He did tell me to tell his sisters to keep writing!

bluedragonfly said her SR is on 1-4, so maybe mine was right? I hope that doesn't mean they are cramming now to be ready for PIR . . . yay for him writing to you!!

Mine also said 1-3, so I have no idea.....I would've said 3-1 on Monday, but I guess he would know better

Very interesting. I guess if they both said the same thing, it must be right, lol!

That's all great news ladies :) I'm sure the ancient 21 yr old feels far superior to those children lol. He's just as likely to flap his lips as anyone else :0 I'm hoping to get some sleep for a change. No he's not wonderful, but he is ok and that's good enough for now. Good night !
