I wonder why there was the delay in their division starting?

 

Sorry for anyone who missed the call from their SR, but the  good news is they will be getting more time to write. My boyfriend says they'll be writing on, not only Sundays, but Tuesday and Thursdays. Yay!

I recieved a 5min call yesterday. Felt amazing to hear his voice...

Received two letters today!  Woo hoo....She really likes her new division and her female shipmates!

On Tuesday, I had just gotten his letter and then a phone call. Even though it was only a 3 min call, it was so good to hear from him. He said the group was having a hard time working together as a team but he felt that they would get it together soon. So overall it's hard work but he's handling it. So I was happy to hear that. Now I feel like April 13th is right around the corner. Maybe it is the weather. Chicago is having record breaking warm weather this March. 80 degrees yesterday, that is unheard of in March. It's cooler by the lake, but hopefully it will be this nice April 13!

Well commrades, we're down to 24 days until we see our SR's...I can't wait. When my daughter went to RTC, I decided to workout as hard as I could (to be disciplined as daughter) and lose 20 pounds as goal until her graduation.....

Well, 15 are gone and only5 more to go. Granted there will be probably 20 more pounds that could go as well after graduation, but at least I've started.....I know I'm proud of her for all that she is enduring.

Those of you on FB..event page created....

Got a 50 min. phone call today!

Yes! I received a call today too! Sounds like their division is getting it together. It was so great to hear from him today!

Got a call today too! We got to talk for half an hour! -llmcjjc I heard that they earned this call because they started off as one of the worst divisions but have pulled together so well lately! So glad for everyone that they got to talk to their sailors today:)

wow!! No call for me..maybe he was on watch and will get the chance to call eventually again!! Those calls are just amazing!

TiffanyW- My SR said your SR is one of the reasons their division is doing so well :) Thank you!

Wow really!!!!! How did he tell u? Like did u mention my name? I am just confused lol.. Thats amazing!!
