Hi I got my "I'm a Sailor" call this afternoon also. It was so awesome to hear from him is right! And i agree my son left a loveable but somewhat dopey Boy and called tonight a MAN without a doubt. There was such a difference in his voice i am embarrassed to say i almost didnt recognize it as him!I I cant wait to see him just a week away.

I got a call too! He said that their division was up from 5:00am Thursday morning until 8:00pm this evening. Last night they had their Battle Stations exam. Over all their division got a 4.45 out of 5, which isn't bad. My SR also said that he passed his final PFA with time to spare, and his third written exam with ease. I am so proud of him. We had enough time to talk about our near future too, such as: A school, our baby's birth, finances, etc. It was nice to have a long conversation. He also got to talk to our 2 year old too; I think he may have gotten teary-eyed then. Our reunion next week will be so sweet! I wish we would have longer with him before he flies to Virginia for A school, but I will be thankful just to get to see him. I made a list today of everything that needs packed for the trip. I am so ready!
Congrats to all of you who are celebrating your son's success. I have a ways to go before I experience anything like this with my 3 sons, but I'm sure that I will be just as proud. We have to make it to Kindergarten first though :)

One of my fondest memories of raising my boys was the time I spent helping in David's kindergarten class. I know it will be hard with other little ones at home, and if you work, even tougher. But if you can spend some time there, I highly recommend it. Teachers can always use the help, and you'll enjoy it too. For me, I was a restaurant manager back then and worked 6 days a week. I'd just schedule myself on a later shift on Mondays and spent time in the school during the mornings. His teacher allowed me to bring his 3 year old brother with me. To witness what was going on in his classroom made things easier for me to help him learn. And he was proud to say "that's my mom" to his new friends. Of course by the time he reached Middle School, and I became a sub teacher, having mom in his class room just wasn't cool anymore! (But thats a whole 'nother chapter).

bcgoldy,
Do they have to have someone on watch during the day? Maybe the SR had watch duty? If that is true then you will get a call later this week. Also, if your SR had to retake any written exams or a PFA then they will have to do that this week. I think that some one also had to be on watch when the division went through their Battle Stations exam, if the SR was that person then he will likely have to do that another night apart from the rest of the division. I don' t really know what happened, but I'll bet that you get a call early this week. They do not get calls on the weekend though, so try to be patient it's probably coming. Keep us updated :)
Greets, Tonya

Today is the first day I have not written my husband a letter since he has been gone, and only because he will not receive it before I am there to reunite with him at PIR. I have written him over 62 letters (the number of days he has been gone) and many more pieces of mail that included Facebook messages from his friends and family, Christmas cards and Birthday cards. It feels a little weird to not tell him in a letter what I did today, but I only have to wait a few more days until I get to talk to him face to face. I am very ready :)

You know, I'm feeling the same way. Why write now? But, I am tempted to start writing and mail it to him after he gets to A-School. I am floating on air since getting my "Call", and also stressing about the drive up. I know once I get there and see and hug my son, all this stress and anxiety will go away, and I will forget half the stuff I want to tell him. So, if I share my thoughts with him NOW, but he won't read about them till after I see him, he'll probably just say "Mom, stop being such a Girl!". But it might do me some good to put my feeling on paper.

Well ladies, it been quite a ride, huh? Now our boy/men/Sailors are safely at their A-School locations. And he has his cell phone so I won't be whinning about calls that don't come in. I can text him anytime, not that he'll reply...but, then I'll have that to whine about!
