I cannot lie.  I'm super jealous to hear that some of you are getting phone calls already.  During the 20 second "I made it Safely" call my daughter told me to expect a call in about two weeks. (She is in DIV 100.)

Phone rang Saturday Morning. I did not know the number so I hit ignore. Immediately my husbands phone starts ringing with the state listed. I grabbed that phone so fast. He said MOM its your son. Of course I apologized for hitting the ignore button but the sound of his voice was awesome. I had to share phone with Daddy, dang it LOL.  He sounds very good and besides the cold really had no complaints. He worked hard to get in and to type the word Proud makes me tear up. I am so proud fof my son and  To each of our loved ones in this PIR group.

Our daughter called yesterday! She is div 917. It was great to hear her voice. She was emotional when she first called because she missed us...not because she was unhappy there. We quickly told her how proud we are of her and she began to perk up. She really is enjoying her time there. She is on the drill quard. She said the worst part was the snow. Haha!!

Good Morning!  So glad that there are a few of you whose SRs have been allowed to call home!  That is unusual this early....but what a gift!  When my son went to bootcamp 4 yrs ago, he left Thanksgiving week (Monday).  I was surprised that he and his division were allowed to call home (very brief, but a call!) Thanksgiving morning.  His division was one of the few in his PIR group allowed to call that day.

Hoping that more may get calls today on the holiday....you never know!

I heard from my son on Saturday morning. I was in the supermarket and missed the first 2 calls from him.  Thankfully, he called again.  He also called home and spoke to my son and husband.  He sounded great.  It was a relief to hear his voice.

We were surprised when our son called Saturday night. I wasn't expecting to hear from him for a couple of weeks, yet.  It was bittersweet.  He called his girlfriend instead of me or his dad.   :(  So, happy to hear he is doing good, but sad that he didn't call Mom or Dad. LOL  He said he had to march 1 1/2 miles to the phone.  I'm wondering if he used one of the free CallForRecruits.org calling cards.  I stuck all 8 of the free calling cards in his slim wallet, along with some postage stamps.  He says he LOVES the Navy, so far.  And he actually is liking the discipline.  Also, he said that some of the recruits didn't finish their homework, and he sure wouldn't be one of them, after knowing what repercussions they had to endure.  He says he prays every night at 9:00pm, and so we all are praying at 9:00pm with him.  :D

Emptynester:  It is very uncommon for them to get to call this early except for the I'm Here call (which even some don't get).  Calls are very random depending on division so keep the phone close, but usually the next call won't be for 2-3 weeks after they arrive.  Unless they "earn" a call earlier than that.  Just be ready at any time!

Has anyone in division 097 heard from their SR yet (besides the "I'm here' call?) Worried that I haven't had a call.
