It will be so good if some of the more outgoing SRs reach out to those quieter ones. I think when they start connecting with each other things will start feeling easier. It's time to build some new family relationships, I'm thinking! Especially with the ones they'll be heading to A School with! :)

Okay so moms we have to agree to share all tibets on information. Our conversation was so quick I did not even think to ask if he had a job. My son is not a talker. His arm could fall off and I would not hear about it.

I agree. I was so shocked he called I didn't ask the right questions. My son usually tells me everything but just didn't have enough time to talk, I know he was going to call his girlfriend. Oh well, hopefully I will learn more from the letter whenever it gets here.

My son's the same way! He writes good letters though, if he has enough time. I will probably get a lot more information from those than I do from his short phone calls.

My son also writes great letters. Before he left he wrote to both my husband and I and to his 2 brothers and left them for us to find when we got home. We'll after I read it, I must have cried buckets!!

My son left letters for all of us too. I cried over mine for several nights. I always know when his little sister has read hers because she shows up in the room afterward, holding back tears. We're all missing him. Still, if we have to be apart, I'm glad it's for something so positive and good for him. Just praying for him all of the time.

My son is ship 14, DIV 103. He's headed to San Diego for A school, looks like most everyone else is going to Pensacola. Anyone else going to San Diego? I agree it will be good for us to compare notes and fill in the blanks, my 10 minutes wasn't near long enough and my son is NOT a letter writer. My daughter did find a note in the microwave the day after he left telling us he loved us, that was all I needed to start the trickle of water works to a full on cry fest :)

I tried to jot down notes as I spoke to my son last saturday. He is in 104. So for those who are interested, go back and read my post in the main wall for this PIR from Saturday morning. I took lots of notes for siblings and grandparents....for everyone who was sitting on pins and needles for the past 10 days wondering how he was doing. Some of the info pertained to all the guys in the div (like they all earned IT as a group on Friday night for not having their stuff stowed correctly and had to do 10 10 count push ups that they all decided were torturous) or they all took their swim quals already (I didn't think to ask if they all passed or not), etc. I too would love to hear from 104 moms on the nuts and bolts of what the group is going thru and has done already. This brain doesn't function that well at 6 am here before coffee and i was just too excited to really dirrect his call, I just let him babble on as I listened with smiles. I actually jumped out of bed, tripped and dropped the phone as I knew the only person who could be calling so early would be my son. Boy was that a surprise event! My 17 yo daughter (who is really close to her brother) was so mad I didnt wake her up. She is threatening to sleep in our room every Friday night! LOL! Also, I hope you all are stalking the facebook page tomorrow morning to get to be the first that gets the Tuesday Trivia question right. Seems like you have to be on the second it is posted and sometimes it gets posted too early for us California people. Lets do this together! I hope we can get div 104 to have their photo taken. I'd love to see them all!

I know that feeling I woke the whole house...even his teenage brother ..lol !!! it was just great... I did forget to ask a bunch of stuff too...I will have my list ready for next time. I am really glad they have a site like this to help ease a parents worries a bit. My son is also not much of a talker so its like pulling teeth to get info sometimes. Did find out he was made medical yeoman? not sure what that is he just said he has to make sure everyone get to docotor appt.s when they are supposed to. and his ship # and Div 104 ...then later in the mail got the form letter. Thank you ladies I am sure we will get to be friends and will always share a common bond.
