Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on June 14, 2012 at 11:20pm: Besides bad spelling, meant to add they only know each other by last name. Tried to find out more info on Jeff from Oston. He couldnt place him...

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on June 14, 2012 at 11:17pm: Got the @ 4pm PacCoast time. Mystrey bunk mate who plays LoL is from Oregon. He is worried he might get an extra week due to his weight, says the food is too good. Really? Havent heard that on N4Ms

Comment by MrsSailor-S on June 14, 2012 at 11:16pm: It's now 8:14 where I am, and 10:15 in Great Lakes. I'm going to guess they're already in bed and I'm not getting a call. :-( Maybe they will let him call tomorrow. Any insight?

Comment by Janell on June 14, 2012 at 11:07pm: I am SOOOO thankful for all of you on here! I would NOT want to go through this without you!!! May God bless our SR's and our families!!! My call came at 5:18. He thought DIV 221 was only down 12 recruits so far. And he is sick also. I think his incident with calling a Senior Chief a Petty Officer just happened today. I hope that his whole division doesn't suffer for it!!! Take care and sleep well everyone!

Comment by Jenn_NicksWifey on June 14, 2012 at 10:53pm: DrewsMOM - My hubby said something similar, that about 1/4 of the recruits would be gone before PIR. I'm really hoping they can get it together and be a team. It sounds like the RDCs are pretty strict though. My hubby had to do 450 jumping jacks because he folded his pillow wrong. I am not even sure how one would fold a pillow. Maybe he meant the pillow case, I hope so!

Also, anyone whose SRs complain of blisters or sore feet, my SR said that you either have the wrong size boots or aren't lacing them right. Maybe that will help some with blisters? Feet blisters suck! And I worried about him getting the right shoes because he wears a size 16!

Comment by MrsSailor-S on June 14, 2012 at 10:52pm: DrewsMOMship07/div221 that's good to hear! I hope they get the 'hall of fame' award! They can do it! What time did you get your call?

Comment by Patrat-Ship04-Div223 on June 14, 2012 at 10:42pm: Meegan i got my first letter today. But no call yet

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on June 14, 2012 at 10:41pm: Ship 7/221 The word i got was the division is really jellin thanks to some of the older SRs. They are going for 'hall of fame' award. 88 Now down to 70. They as a group are getting rid of the ones who are weak, not nice(my words not his) and wont listen. He sais they were told divisions average 60 for graduation. I've never seen that posted here...

Comment by Sailor's Sweetheart on June 14, 2012 at 10:18pm: Any calls from ship 02 div 936??

Comment by Jenn_NicksWifey on June 14, 2012 at 10:16pm: Mine came at 5:10pm. He said he got a 30 minute call but we actually talked for almost 45 before the master at arms called them off.
