Hi Navymom, one week ago my son called to say that they had won an inspection flag. That was their first I believe. There are about 15 SR's that refuse to get with the program and may be sent back to repeat BC. That was a week ago though so who knows what this week will bring. My son seemed to be enjoying it. Mostly they get into trouble for talking when they shouldn't. It's Wednesday today and no letter for me. I'm hoping for one tomorrow.

Hi Everyone, We got a call last week and a letter. My SR said last week they got a scholastic flag. I heard that they were getting disciplined as well. I also heard a rumor that they lost 1 hr of free time during PIR day, and possibly lost calls for the week. Does anyone know if this is really true?

Hi navy momapril
I did get a letter last Thursday but no phone call since the end of July! I think he called his best friend on the last call he got a couple of weeks ago. But in his letter he said they are solo busy barely time to write with everything they need to get done. So I'm staying true to the no news is good news! Maybe we will get a letter or something this week. But I'm really looking forward to the I'm a sailor call!! -

I'm really hoping for a letter today. :) Last week it was on Thursday as well that we got one. I did send my SR a 8-1/2 x 11 envelope to send home his stash of letters and cards if he wants, so that may be all I get today. Actually, more likely he looked at the envelope, ignored my message about it, and threw the stupid thing out. lol

Thanks everyone! I hope we get some mail today. He usually just writes about one page and he just tells me how he is doing not a lot of information though. A phone call would be even better I need to hear his voice. Missing him like crazy but I know this will be over soon 14days and 23 hrs. to go!
