Hal, I'm sure it must be harder to have your spouse away from you.  I'm so glad I have my husband to lean on while my son is gone.  Even though my heart is breaking missing my son, I can only imagine the pain that you are feeling.  Praying for you that the time will pass quickly.  I'm right there with you wanting 8/16 to get here quickly.  We're all in this together.  :)

hal, I know this is so hard on the moms but I can't even imagine what it is like for it to be your husband or wife who is away. And I think you are mostly right. I do think it gets a little easier when you get letters and phone calls but I also think we all get stronger. This really isn't just boot camp for the recruits. It is boot camp for the families as well because we have to get used to them being gone sometimes and get used to not always having immediate contact with them. Hang in there and please know we are here for you. I hope it gets a little easier as time goes by and you grow stronger {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Yeah for the calls!  My SR said some got an extra call this week for scoring a perfect score on their test.  Congrats to those of you who got that call.  This was the first time he actually talked to me for longer than 5 minutes!  It was so good to talk with him.  He said this was their last "scheduled" call, I think.  He is ready to be done, too, joshmom.  I could hear a bit of frustration in his voice.  He is also sick AGAIN/still.  He said they took good care of him though, and that he had to eat 5000 calories a day...he called it some diet name...can't remember.  He is a skinny bones, though.  LOL  Yeah!  Today was a happy day!!

Just talked to my son for about 45 minutes!! No happier feeling in the world then right now.  I just wish his dad could have been home to talk to him too.  He's doing really well but ready to have BC over with.  He said they probably won't get to call again until early August they were told and to keep the letters coming.  What a blessing to hear his voice.  Ship 09, Div 302.

woohoo, they had additional time and she called back!!!! This is the first call since she was lost in the airport so I was glad to hear her voice.

licismom,

If they do well they may have another call.  We got the I'm here call, then the first regular call last weekend and he wrote they may get one this weekend. Hang in there and write, write, write.  So sorry you missed the call.

I just missed a call from my SR, she said it was her last call until August on the voicemail. :( This is the first call I had received from her.
