SHIP 07 / DIVISION 192!
How is everyone doing so far? I was feeling pretty low until I got an address to write to him at today. I feel much better. I going to send my husband some news clippings out of his favorite magazines, and the New York Times. Anyone else from NY/NJ? Also, any other Nukes?
Let's chat! :) Rosie

Got a phone call today from my son around 3:30pm! I had tears of joy. He sounds like he is doing very well. So happy to hear his cheerful voice.

I just found out my son is very very sick and has been on bedrest for a few days, I hope this will not hold him back from graduating on June 22nd. He will be so upset if he is held back and we already purchased our tickets and requested the time off work. I hope he is doing better. i wish I could talk to him to see how he is....:-(

I hope he is doing better soon. I know it is so hard not being able to talk to them. Prayers he recovers quickly and is able to graduate with his division on June 22nd

Thank You Jackie, I am assuming if he was really really bad they would let him call home, I would hope so.

Hello Ladies! how is everyone doing? Tonight is BATTLESTATIONS for our sailorrs! Send them good vibes/prayers/thoughts... Tonight is the culmination of boot camp in one 10 hr long overnight test... I hope your sailors are all doing well, I missed my husbands second call, got a long voicemail, but I couldn't hear my phone because I was in Ikea, and I started crying in the middle of the store when I realized what had happened. it's fine, we'll be together in a week! I've been getting great letters, and my husband said he was sick and lost his voice for over a week, but he's still the Yeoman for the division so that's awesome. I can't wait for PIR!! It feels like I haven't seen my husband in decades. Will be so much fun at PIR, my husband said the division is looking like Hall of Fame! We'll see! He also said in his letter:
DIV 192 HOOYAH!

We received a letter this week from my son and he said they are going to be able to call sometime after Battle Stations, which I am guessing is Friday. Keep you phone ringers on. So excited to see my son on 6-22-12. Its going to be an emotional and proud day.

Hi Ryansmom!
I got a call from my husband last night, and he told me that someone in his division came up to him and asked if he was married to a Rosie because his mom told him about this forum, was it your son? What a fun coincidence!
haha. If not, it was someone else on here, but it was really cute.
Hope everyone is excited for PIR!
Rosie

Hi Rosie,
Yes, it was me. My son was telling me about things regarding his days at boot camp and mentioned something about the Yeoman, which you said your husband is. So I said wonder if his wife's name is Rosie, due to I had just read your message about your husband being Yeoman. Guess your husband was standing close by, and my son asked him, we both laughed. Was really cute.
I am all packed and ready to leave tomorrow morning. My husband and I, daughter, and Ryan's grandparents will all be flying out to see him. My son will be going to Sub training. We are all so proud of his decision to join the Navy.
Looking forward to Friday! Im bringing lots of tissues.
Denise
