Div 312 is an all male division, I dont know about 311 I would almost guess that it is since they are brother divisions and they train together? I am hoping for calls this week around Tues or Wed. about 3pm their time...that was when our daughter got to call home during week 3-- the caller ID will say Wakegan, IL. She also said that she would get to try a few times if no answer!

I know the feeling! Dont be to disapointed if they dont come this week...our daughter was 5 minutes late coming from medical/dental on the day they were supposed to call and she didnt get a chance again until the next week and later in the evening--she said it was because she cried to her RDC who had 3 sisters and he couldnt take it! lol

I've been attached to my phone also. However, I left it in the car on the charger for about 10 minutes and had a missed call from a number I didn't recognize. My husband quickly googled it...telemarketer. It's weird. We don't usually get those on our cell phones; now, we've gotten two in as many days. Go figure... And so we continue to wait...

I received several letters from my son in the mail today.....still sounds happy. Said that he thought they might be allowed to call home on the 22nd or 23rd. Didn't get a call today, but praying I will tomorrow. Sounds like some of the guys in their group are struggling...lots of extra PT going on for individuals and the whole division!

I got another letter yesterday with 2 sheets. One for his younger brother who turns 9 today. He wished him happy birthday. The second that said "Hi Everyone" and was literally just 5 sentences long. He's been appointed a Yoeman so they are keeping him very busy and only had a little time to write. I haven't had any phone calls either, but hoping for one soon.

I received letters yesterday, I was shocked that div 311 is down 10 recruits!! Is that normal to loose so many? I'm hoping the recruits that are still there aren't going to be punished by not getting a phone call!!:( He hasn't complained at all about the extra PT!! I didn't even know about it til I read it on here, he said it's driving him crazy being inside all the time, don't they march outside & do some PT outside?
