I am going down to the post office right now to bang on the door and demand to know why my mail is moving so slow. ;-)
Do you think they will understand when I tell the police officers I'm a Navy Boot Camp Mom??

Sandy's sailor son: Thanks for saying that. I thought I had read something like that here and it was part of the reason I posed the question in our division forum. If it looks like no one in our division is hearing from their SR, I tend to think that this is what's happening. Hopefully once one of us hears something, it will be posted here, and the rest of us can tell ourselves, "okay! any day now!"
This next Tuesday is three weeks for my SR. If they are *good* :-) and they usually write on Sundays, late next week is a likely time for us to start getting something. Lots of 'ifs' though, so I'm cautiously hopeful!

Mike's Mom and ProudwifeAD. Try not to worry too much about not hearing from your SRs. It can take 3 weeks or so to get your first batch of letters. This is because they have to train the person in charge of your division's mail.
Another reason why you may not have heard from your Sailors is that phone calls and mail are used as an incentive/bribery. If a division is not working as a team than the RDCs won't let them right letters or call. This happens all the time. I remember when my son was in boot camp no family in my son's division got a letters for 4 weeks. Very frustrating!!
