DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

My boyfriend is Ship 11, Division 058 ... so happy to find this group!! I have not talked to him since he left, he called me last week but I was at work so I missed his calls, He left me messages with his address so I wrote him. I have not received anything back yet though. I am anxiously waiting and cannot wait any longer!! How often do they get their mail?? Im dying for a letter.

I keep checking in but am not seeing much chatter here. My son is working and studying to do his best, so I haven't heard much from him. He did call Christmas Eve, thank heavens! Has anyone heard from their loved ones as to what they are doing now. Are the PIR dates the same? Do they know when Battlestations will be? The holidays has put a real damper on the mail, sure wish email was possible! :( Any information would sure be appreciated.

We have received letters from our son. PIR is still the same as far as we know and I believe he wrote his girlfriend that he will get to call home on the 7th (I think). I assume battle stations will be just before that. We're looking forward to seeing him and hope the weather is good for our trip up there.

Thank you TNGoldie....We received one yesterday, not much information on the letter. He assures us that they are working hard so graduation will proceed as scheduled. My son is not the writing type :( so we are left in the dark compared to his brother who went through boot 3 years ago. We are traveling from Maryland, looks like the weather is supposed to be calm. :) I didn't know about a call on the 7th, so that is something to look forward to. Thank you for responding to my post. Teresa

Ladies.....i hope that you have had a wonderful day like we have had today! Alex called and we were able to talk for about 40 min, then he called his brother. He said that his Div 058 was doing exceptionally well, they were given 3 hours to eat pizza, or whatever they wanted, and time to make calls. It was so nice to be able to talk without being rushed. Hope everyone was able to talk to their SR....see you all soon.
