My daughter called home today (Div 395). She's frustrated at the fact that her clothes are "too big". I told her to suck it up, she's not in a fashion show. Other than that, everything is fine. She cried a little and when she got it all out, she sounded much better. We were so happy to hear from her and she was happy to hear our voices.

Good morning all. My name is Kathy and our sonTyler is on Ship 11 Division 396 as well. Has anyone had a normal phone call from their loved one yet? We did receive our first and most welcome letter Friday. It was so good to hear from him. Now we are just anxiously awaiting that long overdue phone call. Hope it happens soon.

My son is Wyatt. He called Sat. at 1:30 on Sat Texas time. I just assumed everyone got to call, but I have read there is different reason sometimes when SRs don't get to call. She could have been on duty when other people were off. Wyatt said he wouldn't call again until the 21st. I would definitely keep your phone close by. I hope you get a call soon. I know how upsetting it is waiting. I hope my information helped and you get a call soon. I asked Wyatt about Kayla, but he said he doesn't know any first names. I thought that was funny because we don't know any last names... Good luck...

Hi TxMom21, Thanks for the Information regarding the phone calls. On my last letter to Kayla I mention some names to her and also told her that I have been communicating with some of the moms on Navyformoms.com, but it never dawn on me that they only know each other by last name lol. Kaylas last name is LAOROSA. I take my phone with me everywhere. What area code came through when Wyatt called? I am really looking to seeing my daughter on October 18th, But I am also really looking forward to meeting all the moms I have met on Navyformoms.com it sounds like alot of them are booked at NAVY LODGE which is where I will be staying too. God Bless Julie
