@Bellaboo, my husband said their whole div makes calls at the same time in the same room, so I am guessing they may have 100 phones or so in one room. When the RDC enters that room, the phones hang up.

Reenie, he is in Ship 13/Div 326, I need to put that with my name. My SR says that the troublemakers may not make it through this week. Forgot to ask about wisdom teeth. Said he mailed back a questonnaire and wrote a letter. Good Boy!!! (Man). He arrived on 8/9. Also said they may graduate in Blues, not sure yet. There are 76 left in a division that started with 88. He didn't go into detail.

Does anyone know how large the phone bank is at GL for the SR's to use to call? Like is it 20 phones or 120? or more? I am just curious cuz I know most divisions are about 75-100 SR's and I am just wondering how much time is allotted to them when the let them call. I heard some get an hour other less and I am curious. I would sell my kidney for a call right now, lol. Ugh!

Div 326, just got call. Lost time due to troublemakers, went from 60 min to 20min. They sound great. The guys on watch and the post dentals will get to call later this evening. The trouble maker will not get to call at all.

Hi Everyone...it's been great reading your stories. Worked all weekend so trying to catch up.
Here's my son's story:
Spent one year at the University of Washington, majoring in Biology with hopes to someday become a medical doctor. Loved living in the dorms, hanging out with friends and loved skateboarding. One of his friends had a freak accident while longboarding on campus and ended up with a skull fracture in the ICU. Thank God, he recovered. This friend was suppose to rent an apartment with him over the summer, since that fell through, I told him to come home to Hawaii and we would figure it out. He left Seattle a little disappointed with absolutely no plan. Honestly, I was happy to have him home! He decided he wanted to be a physical trainer for the summer to earn some extra cash, while surfing the internet, he happened on a Navy Seal website and that was it. His heart was in completely.

OMG!!!OMG!!!OMG!!! I just got off the phone with my SR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He says that they are on week 2 day 5, HELL week will be next week. The phone said "Withheld" but I answered it anyway. He said "Hi, mom". I almost fell out of my chair!!! LOL. He sounded SOOOOOOO good. He was full of info, for a quiet boy at home, he was very chatty. We talked for 18:39. It sure went by fast. Hope other moms get calls today, too. If it says Withheld, ANSWER IT!!!!!!

louann0628, if you're good on the internet there is a website called IGOUGO and it will allow you to compare all the airlines + cars (if needed) + hotels (if needed). There are several sites that do this but I like the idea that they will find every available flight.
