Good morning all,
hellraiser, there could be many reasons why you didn't get a call. I didn't get regular calls during BC. Best not to speculate as you will drive yourself crazy. I would think that everything is okay if something bad happened you would get a call.

Reporting to the recruiter at 4 pm! Then tomorrow she's gone. Crazy how you can be heartbroken and yet so proud and excited all at once! Even the dog seems to sense something is up. Keep us in your prayers that we can do the next 24 hours in some sort of dignified fashion!! :-)
Jean...what a cutie!
Blondie... Hang in there!

Anna When i got her letter last week, she said my favorite cereal that she always hated has became her new favorite. She said that she misses our sunday cleaning. That on Sundays they do their stuff and she thinks of home. Her division called home yesterday but for some reason she didnt get to. I hope shes ok. Only thing i could think of is she was on watch or grounded cause she was able to so her 1st swim test when they did it because of her cycle. It really sucked seeing everyone post that they heard from their child. Needless to say i cried myself to sleep lastnite, and was up half the nite checking my phone. SO today has been a really bummed day thinking about it and wondering what happened. Whats the reasoning. I'm trying to keep my head up but its hard.

Good morning all, Welcome proudtrojanmom and Tammy66 , I shared my work-outs and fitness goals with Chrissy in my letters to her during BC. She is into fitness also, so we both shared, it was a bonding thing, and she enjoyed it. It is something to write about. MamaBear, I agree with Anna, do not send any voice recorded cards.
