Hi everyone, look's like our phone calls today has made everyone's day. John was homesick and you could tell by his voice that he was tearing but, he was good.Mom got almost an hr conversation with him and she said she was crying when she hung up so i figure that might be why he sounded like he did when i talked to him. He was surprised that we kept up with the Div and the other mom's.Said he would like to know who's mom's were whose. How do they know about they're money and if it is in direct deposit or not. He acted like he had no idea what he had.Any one know? Have a great day mom's! God bless our Sailor's

I JUST GOT A CALL FROM DUSTIN!!! He sounded AWSOME.. We talked a half hour.. They won a flag.. YIPEE!!! They work out with DIV 224 they call each other brother DIV's.. : ) In his PT test he did 109 sit ups and 89 pushups in 2 mins so every one is calling him robo man... LOL... Hey said they all get along pretty good. Next week is HELL WEEK he said so we need to send up lots of prayers... It is hot and humid this week so I am sure it is even more exhausting.. I am so proud of him and I hope all of you are getting calls from DIV 223

Jill- I also never received my husbands first letter. I thought that was weird. Besides that My husband has yet to get his shots he said. Maybe that's why he is not sick like everyone else. He was told the shots would make him feel pretty bad for the time he was there. They had to reschedule his shots I guess because they had scheduled him a time that interfered with another appointment. He said he is not looking forward to them. I brought up the fact that I heard 6 people have dropped from his division. He was surprised on how the heck I could know that lol. But, he said it was true... I will also be there Thursday night at the Ramada. I also booked my hotel room there :)
