Ship 04 (USS Arleigh Burke) Divisions 807
Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 807
Be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in this division. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).
sjtina, cor and a couple more ladies will be joining this discussion to answer your questions about the "800" division.
Although your SR is still in BC, what they are doing may be slightly different from what the other divisions in this training group are doing. It is also recommended that you go into your "settings" (clickable link on the right side) and change your privacy setting to "private" and change everything to friends only.
Please still use the main wall to post general questions, and concerns, such as meet and greet questions etc. Specific questions regarding the 800 division should be posted here.
We “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups as often as we would like to, and the ladies helping out with the 800 divisions don't always get to the main wall as often as they would like.
Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there ladies!!!

I received my son's form letter on the 16th and was so excited to see his handwriting! No phone call yet. I can't wait to hear from him!

Merry Christmas, Ladies! Woke up at 4:39am and just laid there hoping and praying we get a phone call today from our kids. Aside from finding our lost dog on Sunday, who'd been missing for 7 days, a phone call would be just the very best present we could receive. From a previous post on N4m, I believe, but am not certain, that recruits get to start writing home after they've been at RTC for 21 days. If that is really true then I looking for that first letter in the mailbox this week. Hoping the same rule applies to phone calls home. Has anyone else heard or read this? Wishing everyone a beautiful day!

I hadn't heard that. I got to talk to my husband on Saturday for a few minutes and he said they were sending out their letters in the next few days. It was pretty loud where I was though so I might not have heard right.

Roguevalgal, Thank God you found your puppy dog! That must have been so hard on you with 2 members of your family away from the house. I feel sur e we will get a call Sunday or Monday, high hopes.

Sorry it took so long to reply - it's hard to maneuver through all these comments! Yes, we got the very best Christmas present when our little dog, Chloe was found and came home after being gone 7 whole days. It was truly a miracle and I really believe that God answered our prayers - I was praying like crazy, as were many people in my neighborhood, friends, family, etc. I finally wrote to our son after Chloe was found and told him all about her leaving the yard on what our Aussie vet called "a walk-about", and then being found by a couple riding their quad in the deep forest quite a few miles away from our house. So glad I put an ad in our local paper with photos of Chloe. It was hard enough seeing our son off right before Christmas, and not having him here for the first time; and then to lose Chloe, who we both dearly love - it was almost more than I could bear. So glad I waited and didn't tell him she was lost and we couldn't find her.
I'm hoping we both get a call on Sunday or Monday, plus all the others in 800 div (and other divs too) waiting for a call. Going to sit and wait by the phone tomorrow while hubby is deep into his football games.

Merry Christmas to all. No calls yet from my SR, but I'm hoping they had their prime rib at lunch time and then maybe head to the phone banks??. Sounds like an awesome plan to me. I am praying that we all get calls today even if it's only for a few minutes. Wishing you all the very best today. We will get calls soon. God is good. All the tiime. God Bless All.

To Anthony's Mom Ship 04Div807: Our son is in same div as your son with same PIR. We too were really hopeful we'd get a call on Christmas but hope is now fading as it's after 8pm at BC now. Perhaps we will get the first call this coming weekend. The waiting and unknown are the hardest. Christmas isn't the same w/o our kids at home. I hope the SRs had a good meal today and a break from training. P.S.- I hope my reply gets to Anthony's Mom as her post is in the PIR 02/07/14 discussion group and I couldn't see how to reply there to her post. ELLEN-can you help me with this? Thanks

Hi Roguevalgal, I just got your reply. I did not get a letter today but you should read TJsMom's post. She did get a letter today and there was some valuable and encouraging information in that post.

I'm hoping that they get to go to bed a little early tonight. If it's between my husband getting more sleep or talking to me I would rather he get the rest :-) I miss him but it's just a few more weeks. Christmas isn't the same bit in some ways its better than or normal Christmas. Even though he isn't here to share time with family I know he is in a place that will help train him for where he wants to go. After working in a job he hated he will be satisfied with the direction his life is going and happy about our future. I really couldn't ask for more than that for Christmas. If it takes me missing him for a few weeks for him to have that I will do it willingly.

I was sure hoping for a call from my SR today too. My phone is glued to me! I pray they had a great meal and an easier day. God bless them all! Trying to be a strong mama in Texas.
Merry Christmas all!
