Isn't it wonderful to see how they have grown during these past few weeks. It's a far cry from "I miss you, my bed and my life" to "I'm doing great". By my calculations they should be on 6-2 today. Do you think the call they are hoping to make next week will be the "I'm a sailor call?"

I am so confused by what day they are on. I've seen two different posts and it's not figuring the same. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I made a calendar at work after I got one of my SR's letters and based on that Wednesday was 5-5 so today should be 6-2. I might be off a day or so since I can't find the calendar here at work but I think thats pretty close.

You are right Jodi-Josh's Mom! Today is 6-2 day, I also made a calendar so I don't lose track on what day it is!

Adamsproudmama, different divisions are on different days. I don't know if this is why you saw different days???

I didn't realize that the weekends didn't count and about P-week. I was off because of that. I found a link that explained it all. Also, since my SR arrived on July 3, I don't think that July 4 counted either because of being a holiday. Anyways, we are down to under a week for battle stations and can't wait for the call.
