DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

My son is ship 07 DIV 246 so they may be brother division to your daughter, did you get a call?

I recieved my calls today at 2:30 mountain time...hoping you get a call real soon....helps ease the nerves to hear their voice

 

I got a call today at 3:15 central time!!  I was from 847 area code Waukegan, IL.So happy to hear his voice! He sounds tired but ok, he hurt his shoulder  during PT a few days ago but said it was some better, holding up pretty good over all. Said the DIV is coming together, need more work on marching, but getting there. He said it is a young DIV. He didn't know when he would get to call again, but said they got to mail letters every Monday. Keeping them all in my prayers.
I didn't get a call. But.......she called her boyfriend I guess. That kind of upset me because I really want to hear her voice and talk to her.
That's tough for us Moms, I was afraid my son would call girlfriend first but he talked to me 10 min so he could talk to her 10 min. I tend to forget how much he needs his friends, in my need to get as much time with him as possible. Hang in there! Mayb letters today!
ah I know how you feel..One of my sons did call me but I missed his call twice at work..ugh..he talked to his dad but its not the same when you want to hear his voice.The older son called his girlfriend too..They must have flipped a coin to see who had to call mom lol  Next time we will hear from them I am sure...My son mentioned the Div having issues with marching too...Hoping they pull it together...Hang in there bekka
Hello 7/246!! Is anybody out there?? I got letters today, so go check your mail! He sounded good, said weapos inspections were going good and the marching was improving! Sounds like they are coming together as a group!! Hang in there only 21 days!!

Yeah, so happy for you..hoping for letters today aswell. One of my sons has been really sick passed inspections but cant do PFA due to his illness..ugh..hoping for some improvement soon....
