We didn't hear from our SR this weekend either! My daughter (our SRs mother) was so sad, Yet, she remains strong and hopeful. Mostly concerned because she doesn't know HOW she is. So here's hoping we all get letters this week and our loved ones excel at their endeavors! Go Navy!

Thank you Moms for sharing all the information that you get. I did hear from my son (11/366) Saturday, but we only had 5 minutes, so I did not get alot of info from him, except that they were held back a week. I'm praying you all hear from your SR's. Stay positive.

Hi Everyone, so sorry I haven't responded until now, but I had such a horrible weekend at work, just getting home at almost 11pm after working 16 hours today. I just wanted to say that Em (ship 11, 365) called me yesterday at work. She talked to me for 20 minutes. We both cried, she's homesick, misses family and the critters. She said that she got the flu early on, she said that almost everyone did. She said that she didn't go to the doctor, because it would delay her graduation date, so she plugged along. She said she failed her first physical test, as she was so congested, but she's not worrying about it. She said the food is good, everyone is nice, and she knows she's going to make it (so proud of her!). Our connection was really crappy, and I had a hard time hearing her between the bad connection and the call lights and alarms at work, but I can tell she's focused, and wants to get through the process. She did say that she felt like she lives in a prison because of the fact that they don't have any contact with the outside world, no music, tv, etc... Anyway, hope that those that haven't received calls this weekend, will get their calls soon.
