Merry Christmas everyone! My son is in div 091. We have written and sent LOTS of letters, but have not heard from our SR :-(. I know with 5000 SR's at RTC that it would be impossible for them all to get a call home........but I can't help being envious of the folks who have gotten a call! My son will be going to Charleston for nuke when he finishes at RTC. My husband and one of our daughters ( due to the new rule!!!) and I will be attending PIR and we can't wait! The time really is passing quickly and I pray our sons and daughters are all succeeding each day.

Woohoo!! We got two letters from our SR today! He sent one to his dad and one to me and his sister together.My heart feels so good right now. He said in the letter to his dad that the food is great and things were going well. Dad's letter was much more focused on food but he did mention that they were on week 1 day 2(that letter was dated Dec 25th). Mine and sissy's letter mostly explained their schedule throughout the day and he mentioned that he has to have his wisdom teeth out on the right side. I'm so confused as I thought for some reason they would take those out during the P days...does anyone know?

I just got a call from my son, I'm so happy! I got to talk to him and now I finally know his address so I can start sending letters. It was a short call and he said he was only able to do so because he donated money for charity. He said everything was going good, but he sounded sad and he really wants letters fast. It was so hard to keep it together. I can't wait for this part to be over.

My sons girlfriend got a short 5 min call today as well. He is in DIV 092. He also told her that he had to donate to a charitable cause to call home. She said he sounded tired, but has been sick this week. All of my boys got sick in boot camp. Seems to be the norm unfortunately. She was thrilled to hear from him and I'm glad he was able to call! He did get one of her letters.

@mochi1 my son called his girlfriend last night also, she said he sounded very tired and also stated he has been sick since he got there, pumping him with lots of cold medicine. He also said he needs his wisdom teeth out. He hasn't received any of our letters yet. I'm so grateful she heard from him.
