This is the final test for your recruits. When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

I heard from my recruit tonight Ship 09 Div 071 first he called home and talked to his mom, then he called me at the office and we spoke for 8-1/2 minutes then he asked my for his recruiter's phone number and I assume gave him a call. He did say his phone card was in his locker, so maybe he either borrowed one or something.
We sent him the 700 minutes Verizon call from Costco for $20. They are already activated when you buy it.
Mindy: you can go to images.google.com and type in the name of something, and it brings up a lot of photos. When you see one you like click the right mouse button and then click on Save image as... and save it onto your PC. Then you can use it as your profile photo.

future sailors mom....I am so glad you got to talk to your SR. It was awesome that another SR lent SR their phone card. That is what makes a good division. My SR has given band aids and stamps to other SR and it makes me feel good knowing that he is "sharing" . They are all in the same situation and all missing home.

futuresailor's mom.....I am soooo glad you got to talk to your SR!!!! I have been playing that same scenario in my head since my SR left for BC!!! I was panicked everytime I left my phone for a minute! Scared I would miss his call! It was so wonderful today to hear his voice! It seems like forever since we dropped him off! I am glad they are on the downside on their journey! Can't wait to see them all on 2-11-11! The smile has not left my face since this afternoon!
Keep your spirits up Heather and others of 073.....your calls will come soon I'm sure! I'll say a few prayers and keep my fingers crossed for you.
