So glad to hear the stories from you all and congratulations on your "I Am A Sailor" calls.
It's always funny to find out what they are eating when they call. They want sugar and salt!!!!!

Got the I'm a sailor call today from my daughter! Oh what a great day! We got to talk for a long time and she was able to call several people. When she called the second time she was enjoying her first recees cup in over 8 week, then she called again and was munching on a chalupa lol! Was like, I so should not be eating this but it's soooo good! Loved it! Got to hear some funny stories and can't wait to hear more on Friday. She said her div (250) did AWESOME at battle stations. I think she said they even took no hits! Congrats to ALL. And thanks so much to all of you.

Just received a surprise call from my SR. His Petty Officer let Div. 253 call home before Battle Stations on Sunday night. He passed his third PFA run on Tuesday of this week. What wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
