Comment by amyndria on March 17, 2011 at 10:01pm: proud ..

My son's letter today said his div (so yours too) is having trouble following 1 leader. They keep getting in trouble and have to do 8 count body builders in 'IT" Intense Training' then he drew me stick figures for the exercise. lol.

Comment by amyndria on March 17, 2011 at 9:57pm: I got a 3 minute phone call from my son yesterday. Apparently I was last on the list lol. He sounded good until he heard his brother (the 6 year old shadow) then I heard sniffles. His brother has been drawing pictures while I've been writing. I asked if anyone wasn't getting letters and he gave us a name. Right away my lil guy wrote two notes to him saying 'poor guy, doesn't get any letters.' I'm sure they will get a kick out of that. Then I got a letter today. I totally wasn't expecting it. His dad and I figured he'd never write lol. He said to keep the mail coming. So next week I am going to have his little brothers class sign a smallish poster and fold it up to send to the whole 'ship.' I can't wait to see how that goes! (ship 09 div 140)

Comment by proud4son85 on March 17, 2011 at 9:48pm: I am still bummed he missed talking to us yesterday. He tried us, his sister and his recruiter and had to leave messages. I dont know when will be the next time they can call. did they talk about passing any tests? Did they talk about the weather? just anything you can share would help me know how they are doing. SR in Ship 09 Div 140

Comment by juliea243 on March 17, 2011 at 9:11pm: I got a call too!!! YAY! I just bought my plane ticket can't wait to go!

Comment by janlee on March 17, 2011 at 8:27pm: bn4gvn---were you freaking out?...lol

Comment by KathyOR (ship 03 Division 144) on March 17, 2011 at 8:22pm: YEAH! I got a call too Betty...I'm so glad you finally heard from him! I heard from my SR and we talked for a good 15 min...mine sounded wonderful too but I thought he sounded tired...and had a little bit of a cold...he said he got that as soon as he got there...I'm glad we got our fix! Hurry up 4-22!

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 17, 2011 at 7:54pm: Got to talk to my sr for about 45 minutes today!! We were at the mall and I missed his first call, then while listening to the message from that one he called again but I don't know how to switch over to answer so I missed that one too! Thank goodness he called a third time!!! He sounded WONDERFUL!

Comment by Proud Mom (2nd Time Around) on March 17, 2011 at 6:42pm: I am curious as to how long ship 3 div 143 phone calls were... were they all the same amount of time?

Comment by janlee on March 17, 2011 at 5:39pm: Phone calls are bittersweet. Its also that way on their end also. Ive heard of recruits being upset when they get back to their ships after calls. Its important to end your calls on an 'upbeat' note (easier said than done..i know). Dont they sound different?!!. They sound so mature and 'business like'..wait until you SEE them, they will look SO beautiful. Nothing could have prepared me for how good my son was going to look...ahhh i miss him..:))

Comment by britt24 on March 17, 2011 at 5:30pm: Ahhhhh I got a 25min phone call!!! Yay I was the happiest and saddest girl at the same time lol! It was so good to hear his voice....it helps a little:) 36 more days till I see him. I hope you guys heard some good stuff also :)
