Your son is in the brother division of my son (Ship 11, Div 090). We also got a call on Saturday. Congrats on your son being a Section Leader!
I know! You have to learn Navy-speak. I think there was a link that explained a lot of them somewhere on this site. Lemonelephant will know. She's on the main board.
Are you planning on going to PIR on 2/7/14? Where are you from? I see your horses in your profile picture. We live in Texas & I have a pinto paint horse.

My son had pink eye. Same ship and div as yours. He said it was cleared when I spoke to him last Sat, but had missed his PFA testing which ranks them up to E2. I hope he was able to retake it.

Good morning ladies! I got letters from my son and he says they haven't slept because they study all the time. He said he has met some great friends in there which makes me happy because my other son who's also in Navy still talks to his fellow BC brothers. So excited to see that there's only 27 more days!!! I will be ready with my phone tomorrow morning just in case I get that call.

I got a letter from my sr today! It said Merry Christmas! I'm glad to see his handwriting. It was post marked 06 Feb 2014.
That was a heck of a long wait!

Finally got a letter from our SR today. It was great! I could hear his voice in it. Same funny young man that left here 5 weeks ago. His biggest complaint is the snow. Being surrounded by a foot or more constantly but not getting to play in it. Lol. You can tell he's from the South! He mentioned that the division is noisy and getting yelled at often and thinks its because its so big.

Yay Finally!!! I hope more come in soon.

Did anyone with family from DIV 089 receive phone calls yesterday. In a few letters my SR (husband) said they should get phone calls on Saturdays unless the get in trouble.

No phone call yesterday from Div 090. I was wondering if they possibly missed out on something early in the week when it was so cold and had to make it up yesterday. Purely speculation, but possible, I guess.
