Cathy, have you heard if they will be making calls tomorrow? I'm hearing 397 has been getting phone calls taken away but that might just be my sailor. I know you'll be working tomorrow (today, wow! It is late!) but thought perhaps you might have some news?

Gd Morning KRG. Must admit it was pretty cool reading that u r from the Saratoga area in NY. I was born & raised in New Baltimore, NY - Jersey is home now only bcuz Ft Dix was my last duty station so needless 2 say my SR (JM - stick 1) was born & bred here. So what rate is RB?
Have u any idea what stage of training our SR's r in & how they r doing? Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity 2 speak 2 my SR. I have encouraged he stay in contact w/his g/f as I kno that she is attached to her cell & they r attempting 2 bring their relationship 2 the next level.
I do look forward 2 gathering any info on our SR's from our cyber connection. Thanks.

Not sure rate my SR is i know very little about the Navy as this is my first real military experience.....so i didn't know what questions to ask....he has called several times but i am not great when i get excited as a matter fact i think everytime he's called I've just said repeatedly we love you and stay strong.....he probably thinks im a basket case......which on some days i am.....this morning was a real rough morning maybe because i was hoping so much for a phone call so i could just hear his voice and know he is okay.....i believe from research I've done on internet they are in week 4 and i know their division / ship has not been doing well the have had a lot of ipt and phone calls taken away and not received any flags....and he is disappointed..what i do know is my SR is hanging in there and can make his bed and fold his clothes...lol....i do not think he did either of these things while living at home :-)......i know i can't wait to ghetto PIR and see him we miss him soooo much

Thank u sharing what u kno about our SRs. Being prior army military I can only say it can b demanding & if they're not pulling 2gether I wud imagine it makes it that much harder on the morale. when I've written 2 my SR I do encourage him 2 keep his head in the game & stress the importance of doing what he can 2 encourage team-work. From what info I've read about Hell Week & especially Battle Stations its gonna take teamwork from them all 2 get thru it. Keepin our SRs close in thought & prayer.
Lets keep ourselves informed & share what we find out. I know w/the limited communication I've gotten I do appreciate hearing whatever any1 has 2 share about Ship 12/Div 397
