Ship 07, Div 049 - Anyone else??
My son is on Ship 07, Div 049. I see a lot of other moms from other divisions, just wondering if anyone else has a son/daughter on Div. 049.

We're from Arizona. I'm SO glad someone else is in the same division. I was beginning to wonder :) How are you doing? Any letters yet? I sure hope to get one soon. It's been a rough 2 weeks for me! My name is Cyndii and my husband is Ken. See you at PIR?

wow i am really bad at this! I have been trying to check out the whole website so sorry it has taken so long to respond!
We are all doing ok here, got the form letter and a personal letter from him last week but that is it. It is so hard to not know what is going on. Did your son say he was in a Push division?
My name is Carol and my husband is Daniel. We will be at PIR as long as nothing changes.Hope to meet you! Our sons name is Alex. -

Hi Carol, we booked our trip for PIR. I don't know what a Push division is. I haven't heard anything from Steven and I'm going crazy! I only received the "kid in a box" and the form letter. I'm hoping that I hear from him soon. We're staying at the Ramada from Thursday to Sunday. Steven is going to Goose Creek, South Carolina for A school so I'm trying to find out if he will be a grad n go. Will Alex stay in Great Lakes or will he go elsewhere? Keep in touch! Cyndii

Hey Cyndi-
Alex will go to Gulfport, Mississippi. Not sure if he will be grad n go either. We are getting our tickets beginning of next week hopefully think we will be there the same days just not sure where yet. Do you have other kids @ home? We have a 15 year old daughter who is missing her big bro and big sister too. -

We have one 11 year old boy @ home. He is really missing his brother too. He raced to the mailbox today and it was heartbreaking when he came in the door with the saddest face. We still have not received any letters. I'm not sure what's going on but I am hoping and praying that we'll get something tomorrow since I've been reading that mail usually comes on Wednesdays. We are now officially in week 3.

oh that is awful! We are dealing with the same here. We have received one letter from him but the mom in me wants to know more! i knew going in that he is not much of a writer but come on! LOL three other boys from our town left the same day and one of the Mothers has received three letters!! She said they are getting shorter but still! We I am hoping to hear from him soon, really hoping for a phone call since last I talked to him he said he would get a phone call in about 3 weeks...... of course, things happen and change sigh...
Hang in there! Cold in Colorado!! talk to ya soon! -

GOT OUR LETTERS!!! We had 4 letters in one envelope. He wrote to everyone in our family. He sounds tired, stressed and "reprogrammed". I guess because he is in the 2-3rd week, he's supposed to sound like that. He said they make him run a lot and he reassured us that he will make it through. He's also talking a lot about the snow. It's in the mid-70's here - HOT! He's not used to cold weather so he ended up getting the flu. He is a grad n go. I guess we'll only get to see him for a few hours after graduation. I can't wait to get more letters and I can't wait to get the phone call!! Talk with you soon ~ Cyndii

Hi Ladies....it seems like a small group here. Div. 050 would love for you to join our small group if you would like. Find us under Groups: Ship 07, Div. 050. I've been told that 049 and 050 are "brother" divisions and do a lot of the training together. We would love to get to know you! If you all join, I will change the Group Name to Ship 07, Div. 049 & 050.
