I was just made aware of this sight and what a wonderful sight and wonderful discussions. What a blessing to be able to connect with other moms and to get a glimpse of what the other SR are doing and saying. I have talked to my son once, on Christmas Eve. Received 2 letters today. He will be going to A school in Pensacola. He is RCPO if your sons know mine let me know.

Hi Ladies! I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas. I received a call on Christmas Eve just as we were leaving for service. My son said he had not gotten the Christmas cards yet, but he thought he might get them that day. He sounded really good and Sharon he spoke of your son :). I wish you all a very blessed New Year!! And I'm looking forward to meeting you all in January.

My son called as well although after about 15 minutes the call dropped - I almost couldn't stand it and when I thought of it the rest of the evening I was so sad. Later I felt God saying to me, "Will you trust me"? How can I say no to that?!? I decided to let go and trust Him. Besides if I'm moping around it affects everyone else in the family. My son also said he received the Christmas cards but he was waiting until today to pass them out. He sounds like he's doing very well. I feel so much better now that we have communication from them even if it is limited. God bless you all on this most holy of days.

Thanks Diane, same to you and the rest of the div 058 moms! My son called this afternoon and said they had received their Christmas cards. He said he handed out the 18 I sent and that the guys were real happy. So glad we did it! He wished me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I said it will be a very happy new year once they all graduate!

Good Morning Ladies...I was so happy to hear that are friendships forming between our recruits. As Dana mentioned, our two sons have become buddies. From what I hear they are probably the "Mutt & Jeff" of the division, as my son almost didn't make weight when he left and so I'm guessing he is probably one of the smallest! My son turned 19 in September and is my youngest bio child. He has an older brother, almost 21 and was raised with him and a step-brother, 18, and step-sister, almost 16, for the past 8 years. I have worked in the medical field off & on for the past 14 years since graduating with an X-ray degree. I have been fortunate to be actively involved at my kids high school and am the class mom for this years graduating seniors (all 43 of them). We live in a very small town in southern Oregon. We have had our share of rough winters, so I'm hoping the cold isn't bothering him too much. My mother and I are going to be attending graduation, too epensive to take the whole family. It's been a month today since my son left and I'm happy to say it's about a month until we are all there!!!!
Chris-if you get any info on the recruit who isn't getting mail, please let me know as I would be happy to write.
Hope everyone has a Blessed Christmas, you are all in my thoughts and prayers as are your boys.

Hi Diane! I didn't know your name, so when I wrote my son back today I just listed that you were from Plymouth, MA. He's trying to see if he knows the sons of the moms that I chat with on here. My son is the RPO (Religion Petty Officer) for the division.

Hi Chris & Dana, I was just wondering the other day if our recruits were friends. Guess we will find out at graduation. I am the mother of 2. My recruit is my only son. My daughter is 26 and attends college in the medical field. My daughter has a 3 year old (my grandaughter) who I adore. We are originally from Ca. Moved to Henderson, Nv 9 years ago. I am an insurance agent and have been for the past 29 years. 20 years in Ca and the past 9 years here. It will be very quiet this Christmas without our son. But, we will make it through and look forward to having him home next year. Have a great day!
