Blessed Sunday!

to those who are perishing, but to us who are
being saved it is the Power of God."

Ladies, calls are totally random. CatMom explained below why she posts to be ready for calls because many times, early on, they let them call....I would like to extend that for ALL of Bootcamp. You never know when they will be awarded a call, have to call for info, have a division call, etc. So please keep those phones glued to you for the duration. You won't regret it!
Good Morning!

Gals,
My "heads up" was just to prepare you to be ready for a call and what to look for when it comes through. Better to be ready, then not be ready and totally miss it because families don't recognize the area code or other ways that let you kinow that it could be your SR.... It's not a guarantee your SRs will call. Also, some will be on watch and can't make the call. It will be up to their Recruit Division Commanders (RDCs) if they get to make up the call~~

Savvysavvv yes someone did. My son said the same thing. 3 weeks. It's only been almost two. I feel like a stalker waiting for the mail and now I'm checking my phone every 5 minutes! This is just the beginning. We have YEARS of this.

Mama CeCe.
Someone posted on here they were supposed to call? But I'm not sure, when I talked to my husband when he first got there he said 3 weeks so It was a surprise to me too. I'm just patiently waiting for my letter! Hang in there!!
