thanks i think their training is harder because i heard they have extra works at bootcamp because of their divisions. I will let you know as soon as i get it.Hopefully this week. He told me when he arrived there that he will call me in three weeks. Is this consider week 3?

I think this is week 3, but I guess it depends on how long they were in Processing, waiting until their division filled up... their days may be a bit off. What I hear is that while they may get a phone call on week 3, it is up to their RDC, who will reward them with a call, or not. I have my fingers crossed that this sunday they may be able to call.

Hey Girls! I also rec'd. a letter last Thursday...he said the first week was a lot of medical processing and folding, in fact he said he would be a better folder than me...great to see his sense of humor! I called GL this a.m. to find out when they leave for SanDiego and the kind woman said that USUALLY they leaves the next morning, but that's not gospel and you need to hear from your SR exactly when they leave, and they may not even know yet...then its up to the A school what Liberty they will have for Labor Day weekend. I would love to talk, if anyone wants to!

Hi all! My SR called today and we rec'd. a letter. He is fine and is counting the days until PIR. Keep the faith for communication. I called his recruiter today...he thinks they will not leave for Coronado until 9/6 because of Labor Day. Also, they will have 14 days at Christmas.

We got a letter today, as did my son's girlfriend. So happy to hear from him. And then... she got a PHONE CALL! Did anyone else. I heard of a few from 818 who got calls, but then there was a lot of yelling in the background, and they all had to go. So the calls were only about a minute long... maybe they will get a chance again soon...

Have you all noticed that this page lists most recent comments at the bottom, instead of the top? I don't know how to change this, but I kept thinking there were no new comments and I happened to scroll down..is it just me?

I know! I tried to see if it was a setting I could change, but can't. I saw your message, about the phone calls. Weird. And now I imagine we have to wait until next thursdays letter to find out what happened... or if that is just standard operating procedure. How is your son doing? Mine is still having a tough time. Says the letters are easily a highlight of his day. He just hates how negative everyone is. He says he understands the RDC's, that is their job. But he said they spent days in medical while the nay tried to find things wrong with people, and even the dr.'s and nurses are negative and mean... He did say he thinks their RDC is funny, but it is hard, because they aren't allowed to laugh. I haven't yet heard if their are females in the division... which I want to know when looking at the random photos on facebook! Do you have that info? Anyone know if 818 is all male or a mixed division???
Pittsburgh was hot. Actually we were outside Pittsburgh, near the Flight 93 memorial, if you know where that is...

I'm almost positive females aren't allowed in special ops
