Happy Thankgiving to all of you!!!! I can hardly type as I too just got off the phone with my SR! I got too nervous and excited so I didn't answers I was wanting as I just mainly listened and we laughed together! However he said he will be calling back in 45 mins so perhaps I will be able to remember the things I wanted to ask this time! Man, I hope he's right and can call back! I feel so blessed and thankful too, cannec! Was your SR adopted by a church as mine was? I was so happy to hear that they would do that for our SR's! What a nice church! I am for sure sending them a thank you card when I find out the name of the place. :)

Oh! I did find out that they have yet two very hard tests to do and that the RDC's are on , and I quote, " a reign of terror" lately as they don't want the recruits slacking..... Poor guys and gals! So keep those letters in the mail still! They LIVE for mail. :) My son did however say that everyone was very happy today and having a greatttt meal! Lordie, my day went from dark to sunny in a manner of one sec from hearing his sweet voice! I pray you all recieve calls as well today! I don't know if everyone was granted liberty or just recruits that are about to graduate.
I pray it's everyone as I have lived the pain of waiting. Hang in there, you are not alone even if it feels that way sometimes.. Your wait will be over soon! My SR left Oct 1st and now Nov.22 I get my first call. The pain left with it and now all is well again.

Me too! Maybe they are at the same church. My son said he was getting 15 min calls, he called his girlfriend, me and he's going to try and call his grandparents here in a little bit. He also said they will get to make 1 hour phone calls tomorrow! So grateful for the groups adopting all the sailors today!

If they all got adopted by the same church it's Gurnee Community Church. That is where my SR is.

My SR was adopted by a family of another recruit. They let him use their cell phone and have had 2 calls and a few picture messages. I'm on cloud 9!! He did say they still have some tough tests to pass. I was so afraid of him losing weight too, but he says he has gained 14 pounds!!! I think it is only this TG that was able to have liberty,not sure. He sounded great and very focused. Hope you all are as happy and proud as I am at this moment. Truly grateful to the wonderful family that chose to take him with them.. THANK YOU!!! See you all in 7 days!

Hi all, Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I'm so thankful for Gurnee Community Church and all their volunteers..My SR was able to call 3 times, share some Facebook time, and send us a picture! We couldn't have been more happier..well other then seeing him at PIR next week, LOL
So glad to hear you all have shared the same phone calls with your SR.
I want to send them a thank you card, and perhaps a donation for their genorosity. I heard there were about 3-4 divisions there, and they ate twice! Plus there were tons of candy in all the rooms, lol and they got to watch football and listen to music!
