I still haven't gotten a letter, but he talked to my ex husband Saturday and somehow he missed getting caught in the wisdom teeth net. Is that just something they do? It seems like all these 18 yr olds are getting oral surgery!

Thank you for clearing up the letter thing! I knew there was some structure, but couldn't find a definite answer. Spoons, huh? That IS weird. Why in the world? Can't even guess unless it was a dare?

Just got off of the phone with my SR. He also got his wisdom teeth out.. ouch!! was great to hear his voice and that he loves it!! i had told him in a letter about this site and talking to other moms with kids in his division and he was asking if i knew their names. lol, i said i knew no last names, he said they knew no first names there lol... If anyone in ship 14, DIV 426 would like to private message me their sons name so i could let mine know that would be great. I told him i would try to fnd out :)
so so happy he called, absolutely made my night and gave me such a sigh of relief to hear his voice
congrats to all other moms who got a letter or phone call today!!!!

Hi Everyone;
My son is in Div 426. He will be an operations specialist. I believe he will remain at Great Lakes for A school. I received a letter from him 3 days ago, and a phone message that I listen to daily.I missed his call. He assured me that he is doing well. This waiting for letters and phone calls is like waiting for shipments of gold. I can't wait to see him at PIR.

I agree with you about how hard it is to wait for letters and phone calls. And I'm so sorry you missed a call. I feel like I've won the lottery after getting a call from my SR. I have not gotten any letters yet, but I'm hopeful one will come this week. I keep telling my SR that he doesn't need to worry about writing me if he is too busy or exhausted because I want him to focus on taking care of himself. But truthfully I don't really mean that! I really want a letter. Like you, I can't wait to see him at PIR.
