Ship 12 Div 058.....anyone else?
Son left 12/5/11. Just received the form letter. He's Ship 12 Div 058. PIR 2/3/12. Got a very short note saying the Petty Officers were killing them. That was alarming, but then at the end, his usual sarcasm of "I'm alive so stop freaking out." That made me feel much better. Anyone else??????

Hey we got our letters on Dec. 22 as well. Which hotel have ya'll heard suggested? My son is in 12/057 and he said about 80 guys. He said the food wasn't super bad, it was cold and snowing all the time, it isn't a cakewalk and he has only slept 20 hours since Dec. 5. He seems to be doing well and keeping a great sense of humor.

I received 8 letters yesterday as well. My husband is doing well. Do you know what section your son is in? I found out while reading his letter that my husband is a Section leader for Section #4. I am sooooo proud of him!

Yes I'm 12/058. Can't wait to see him! I actually received a phonecall last night, best Christmas gift ever! He earned it for having the best inspection.

That's awesome! Congrats. Did he say what their division did on Christmas day? Stay on base? Have a feast? Did he know what day the whole division is scheduled to get phone calls? I haven't heard of anyone else in our division to get a phone call, so sorry for all the questions :)
