Ship 09 Div 315 Anyone?
My son left arrived on 7/26. I got his address from his recruiter. I noticed that no one else has posted and wondered if anyone is out there.

Its a regular call from an 847 area code. She only got to call because her rate requires a security clearance and she is calling to get information to fill out her background check. She was able to call my cell phone and she was calling on the Navy's dime...not her calling card.
Does your daughter have a calling card with her? If not, you should probably send her one. That way she won't have to call collect.
Did you see my other post on the bootcamp mom's group? Are you on facebook? I'm the one that commented on your post to the RTC page. I clicked on your profile and saw the picture you use on this site!!! What is your daughter's rate?

Hi my son is in 09/315. I received the form letter last Thursday, August 4, but that is about it. No letter from him. I wrote to him a two page letter. Hoping I receive a letter this week from him.

Awesome!!! Hope the letters start rolling in for everyone! You should send a lot. They will just love that....if you don't know what to write, just tell them what's been going on at home. They crave that stuff. It really does make their day :)

Hi everyone, hope you're all hanging in there. Have been writing every day, hopefully we will get a letter at the end of this week. Hope they reinstate the random pics when they get fully staffed. It's fun searching for your SR :)

I've never been the type that likes to stay home but now I don't want to go anywhere in the evenings because I might miss a phone call. Does anyone else feel the same? Oh! Wait! I just remembered that you said your daughter called on your cell! Yes my daughter has a phone card so hopefully she will call the cell phone. If she does I will feel better about leaving and not have to wait around for the home phone to ring. We hardly even use that phone anymore. I sure missed the random pictures today. :(

Yeah, same here. We never use our house phone and I told my daughter to always call my cell no matter what. I'll always have it on me. And phone cards can call any phone (as far as I know...we tried it before she left). I started a discussion page for this Div on the Facebook page. Check it out. We can all chit chat there too.
Also, are you guys following this group: http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir09232011
There's a lot of info on here as far as PIR day and Meet & Greets, etc. A real nice group of people that share a lot of info/news!!!

I've been looking for a place here where we live that sells calling cards and no one seems to sell them. Weird, i know. So, I may have to go into the next town over to find one there. My daughter did not take a calling card with her, will she still be able to call collect on a cell phone?

I found mine at the grocery store...right by where you check out. If you don't see them, ask. They are hard to miss. I'm not sure if someone can make a collect call to a cell or not. If your daughter has nice shipmates, perhaps they would let her use theirs until she gets one.
