Thanks Jen & Margaret. As my son described the workouts... he couldn't see how the group would survive them if they had to do them every night for 2 hours. He said one SR had a seizure from the workout, but appeared fine the next morning. My son works out frequently, and so he felt he could survive the extra workouts, but he worried about his fellow SRs... I did wonder if really there was no offense & it was a planned lesson, so to speak. Yes, we are getting near the end. I know these…

I hope perhaps I see a letter today. Am anxious to hear what he has to say. Thanks again.

Yes, my son also wrote about the bathroom incident and the extra PT. Figured it was part of the, "mind games." Not too worried about it.<br />
Also, his girlfriend got a letter yesterday saying they had their promised phone calls taken away because they got into trouble. (I don't know why). They had to stay up late writing the instructions over and over again.<br />
Don't worry, calls or no calls, letters or no letters -- we will all be done with this stage soon!<br />
Can't wait!<br />

Yeah, I heard about that, too. I thought they were just punished the one night. My son said they weren't sure if it was for real or just part of the hell week mind games that the rdc's play. Oh well. . . . sounds like they've moved on now. Been a busy week for them.

Hi Ladies!!! The last letter I received was on 5/13. It was written 5/9. My son said they would now be allowed to write on Tues & Thursdays. So I thought I'd see another letter either Saturday or monday... or tuesday... ugh. Here it is Friday 5/21 & still nothing. He also said the entire group has been punished with extra 2 hour workouts each night (remember, this was written on 5/9) because someone did not clean the bathroom as thoroughly as they should've and no one would come…

I hesitated sharing this... don't want to cause any distress to fellow moms. But did anyone else hear of this incident? I wonder if this is also the reason for no phone calls. I wrote my son that the bigger point I believe they are aiming for is that if one recruit doesn't meet responsibilities fully, it puts the rest of the team in jeopardy. I sure hope I see a letter or letters tomorrow.

I have to admit, that whole phone call thing makes me a little cranky. I'm sure they dangled that out in front of them and then took it away for some reason or another. They just shouldn't tell them they are getting a phone call until they are actually letting them walk over to the phones. These recruits are soooo starved for home and a familiar voice . . . to not let them call after they thought it was a sure thing is cruel.

Hi Jen! James also sent a letter yesterday. He also thought they were going to get to make phone calls on the 17th. Obviously did not happen. sigh. Poor kid hasn't gotten to complete any phone calls (except the arrival call) since he got there. He used up one phone card trying, but didn't get through. Anyway, I hope they get to try again soon!<br />
Either way, they are almost done!<br />
oh, and I do hope they get to relax a little when they get to A school. That would be nice! :-)<br />
well, busy day…

Hey Ladies! Just received a letter today, so I thought I would share a few tidbits. Patrick says they were just resting on Sunday getting ready for this week's full schedule of stuff. Says he's made some good friends there and that makes things so much better and helps with the homesickness. He said on Saturday when they were having some downtime, their conversation was about what junk food they were going to eat when they get liberty after PIR.

Hey Ladies! Just received a letter today, so I thought I would share a few tidbits. Patrick says they were just resting on Sunday getting ready for this week's full schedule of stuff. Says he's made some good friends there and that makes things so much better and helps with the homesickness. He said on Saturday when they were having some downtime, their conversation was about what junk food they were going to eat when they get liberty after PIR. Double-stuffed oreos, gummi bears were a pretty common consensus - LOL! He says Sundays are kind of nice. He says they sit around writing letters and singing random songs. He said this past Sunday it was "oldies" and the Sunday before it was Disney songs! He says it make them feel kinda good and forget where they are for a few hours. The only other thing they have to do during that timeframe is polish their boots and dress shoes, and make sure their lockers are on "spot." He also said that one day last week they spoke to the nuke coordinator and he said there is a slight possibility that they could have a week off when they get to A school. It all depends on if they have enough to start a class or not. He will keep me posted. For some reason, he thought that they might get to call home this past Monday and he was keeping his fingers crossed. Obviously that didn't happen, so don't know what that was about. Talk to you later. Jen Hey Div 202, does anybody kno…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2010-05-20:1971797:Comment:37176452010-05-20T19:01:02.328ZJen (ship 7 div 202)https://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Jen804
Hey Div 202, does anybody know what day is gas chamber? I was thinking it was this week. I read here someplace that if everyone passes they get a phone call, but that was coming from somone else's kid in another division. Not sure about ours. Another funny comment about the gas chamber I read was that one kid wrote that it really cleared out their sinuses. They kind of wished that they had gone there sooner. LOL Jenifer

opps, James did catch a cold. He told his GF in a letter today. He says it isn't too bad, though and not to worry. I hope it doesn't slow him down or knock him out! I'll assume it won't! :-)<br />
