I am sooo happy right now.  Had a long call from my daughter in 916 and it was amazing!  She cried a minute when I answered but then she sounded so great.  She seems to have adjusted well and has made some very good friends.  She said that having them has made all the difference in the world.  I am still coming down off of cloud 9.  It is a great day!!  Hoping to get a letter tomorrow.  I have sent at least a dozen letters so far and she has only gotten three but talking to her today was just the best!

You may want to write to your SR or ask in a call when their BattleStations date is.  This info is between you and your SR.  Remember that they start one day and finish/call the next.  The calls will come in the afternoon.  BattleStations can start as early as Wed or Thur night the week before PIR week....to the beginning of PIR week.  So it is best to have your phone ready at all times during this period of time.  If you read my BattleStaitons discussion in the PIR groups, you will understand the order they normally go in and have a better idea of the time your SR may call, but hopefully your SR will inform you.    Please do not post the date your SR gives you on N4Moms or FB.  It is not allowed.  Again, this should be private info passed between your SR and you.

That's awesome puglife. We got almost an hour - couldn't believe it (Div 916)! She also said next phone call will be after battle stations unless they earn any for good behavior.

Phone call from 915! Yea! We got almost a half hour. She sounded good and said she can't wait for some real coffee! Next phone won't be till after battle stations, she thought. Love that girl!

diannep, I have asked my SR about this in a letter and hopefully will get to ask her if she calls soon.

Mail call is so very important to them---they love hearing their name called out!  Write to your SR and ask if any of his/her shipmates are not receiving mail and ask for the names.  If you get some names, write to them.  I have done that many times and it means the world to them to have someone taking the time to think of them.  Many of them, if not most, will write you back and hope you write to them again.  One girl I wrote to even wanted me to keep writing her during A School....so, think about it.  You will make some of those SRs very happy to have their name called out!  Some people tuck an extra letter in theirs to their own SR to pass out to one of these SRs, but personally, I think to get a last name, first name to send the letter directly to would be better (same address).  You could probably mail it without a first name....most of the SRs do NOT KNOW their shipmates first names anyway!  :-)

My son said they can write each day for little but can only go to mail room on Sunday to send letters.
