I got one call from my son about 2 weeks in. We were able to talk for 33 minutes. Yeah, I timed it..lol
The next phone call he got, he called his girlfriend. I love her to death and she is a sweet girl, but my little green monster peeked through when she told me that..lol

I got a call Saturday for about 5 minutes. But it had been awhile. My boyfriend is the RPCO (I think that's right) for div 232. He always seems good!

Anyone know how Div 232 is doing? Last phone

RPOC- sorry. Its Recruit Chief Petty Officer- I think it means he's in charge of 232. He says everything is well. I spoke with him Saturday- May 25th. His voice was almost gone.

Oh, that's awesome! That's a lot to be proud of! Thanks for letting us know he said they're doing good. My SR is my only child, and although I know and appreciate what he's accomplishing, it's tough being away from him, cause we used to talk and do stuff together every day. But, I'm getting better. LOL.

Me too, trags, it seems like I notice ever single detail of stuff we did together before and apparently I took them for granted! LOL

I understand that! Seems like, no matter how much time or how much you do with them, it never seems like quite enough when they're gone. lol. BUT, he was going to go into the service right out of high school (long story on that), so I had almost two extra years of him being at home going to the local community college and working. I wouldn't trade that time for anything! :)

Yay! That's awesome! No letter here. :( I'm glad to hear that they're doing well! Guess it's true for the males, too...? Hope so, anyway!

We got 2 letters in this week one for me and one for my SR's sister. She gradated HS on this past Saturday. We haven't gotten a call since May 15th. I have to touch base with my SR's girlfriend (Paigem515) as she gets all the info on what he is doing and how the division is doing, where our letters contain that he is good - very short and sweet. But that is better than nothing. So between her and I we piece together how he really is. IT IS JUNE, ladies! We are on the downward spiral now!
