Hey Hannah.. Welcome!!
Moms that got call, I know we were all relieved..
My heart goes out to the ones that missed theirs.. Hang in their moms,
.. my son said Most of the week was sitting around waiting while they do the medical stuff and other things they just started doing PT I believe yesterday so at this point none of them are hurt or exhausted yet and I asked him if any major events happened and he said no not at all yet so all the recruits should be fine and safe moms -

On my sons call today I asked him about his bunk mate.. he said he had two so far I would never put names but the first one int. S.G from penn. And the other one is from tenn. Not much to go on but was hoping to find the mom of his bunk mate any Moms?

My grandson signed up in Knoxville, TN. His initials are J.F. Maybe he's the bunkmate from TN. He's in Div 141.

After being frustrated w todays triva ques. I proceeded to the school my kids go to and my son graduated from and talked to the high school American History teacher. She was one of my sons teachers explained what the trivia is all about so now on tues she is going to watch the site and give the question to her class to figure out using their laptops and phones. Fingers crossed it works. If you have a good relationship with your childs school give it a whirl. She thought it would be a fun challenge and rewarding for her students even bc its for an alumni member of the district and educational. If u do it remb to give them the ship/div and your sailors name:)

I got our first letter too. although he wrote it the 26 of Feb. so mostly stuff we knew already. He really isn't much of a writer. To be fair though I have mailed him a novel already so he prob hasn't had much time to write bc hes too busy reading, lol. It was nice though to get a letter!
