Janice, I hope your son goes to DR - my son is stubborn too, has been sick the whole time, refused to go to DR, then Sunday he got a bad fever too, and thats when he finally was SENT to Dr, and got SIQ.  At least with the antibiotics maybe he can kick it.

Hey LovemyBunny - welcome to this group!   I still go on PIR2/11 and BootCamp Moms groups all the time, but this is kind of nice to have specific communication about our sailor's Division.  It's great to hear details from each other about the Division, RDCs, tests, and especially when to expect phone calls and letters!

got a call from my son so I just posted this on the PIR2/11 group site, but also wanted to tell you all that in addition,  I asked him about who else he knew: Shauna - your son was standing right next to him when he called! (cause he asked him what his moms's "N4M" name was), also, he does know a redhead from Durango (Postal1 - hoping that is your son?), and  Janice, I asked him if he knew your son, says he thinks so, but they go by last names (does it start with a "P"?).  Trying to be careful of using names on this site, but I think it's ok when we send each other personal messages.  He said they are telling him it's only Week 3 Day 1, dont know how that could be...  Anyway, here's what I posted - sorry it's not very upbeat - next one will be, I'm sure of it!  **** Just got my call from my son  -  YAY (about 35 minutes long) – really happy to hear from him, but really sad to hear how sick he is, had SIQ all day yesterday (had to stay in bunk all day) but finally got some antibiotics, hope they work soon. (said he even got yelled at for being sick – that’s all part of it, I guess). That’s why he didn’t call with the rest of his division yesterday.  He sounded really down, I know part of it was that he was so sick, but he’s doing the whole second-guessing himself, why did he choose this instead of college, will it always be this bad, or will it get better after BC and in training, will he be glad he made this choice.  I think it’s a combo of being bored (he said they have not gotten into any of the “exciting” training yet), still in the RDC “break them down” phase, feeling like crap, and missing home way more than he thought he would.  He said he’s been thinking of his dad a lot today (who passed away 3 years ago), and that really made me sad.  I’m going to try to write a cheery letter right now, get it in the mail.  So glad to hear from him, but hoping I hear in the next letter that he is well and in better spirits.  As a mom, you just want so bad to do something to make it better, and you can’t , it’s all up to them and everything you taught them at this point.   He’ll be fine, I kept telling him, it’s just 37 more days.  And then I tell myself the same thing!!!

I am confused. If they are in week 2 day 5, how will they finish 8 weeks of training before February 11th?

Comment by Postal1 (Ship 11 DIV 065) on January 5, 2011 at 1:09am

We got a call as well. The entire division passed their first inspection! Yahoo! Sounds like everyone is doing well. He said they are in week 2, day 5.

Great news!!  No call yet, but you all give me hope!  I'll keep the phone right by me!    So glad to hear they are not getting the "beatings" ( I heard a Div that they train with has it WAY worse) , and the spirits are higher?  sounds like things are starting to go better, I hope so!  and I hope that since I didn't get a call, that doesn't mean my son failed a test - YIKES!!  hoping for at least a letter tomorrow.

We got a call too :)  His spirits also sound pretty good and he said their division has been "beat" less than others, which he's happy about.   They're doing lots of studying and review.  I guess they're still only somewhere in week 2 since holidays and Sundays don't count, four more weeks to go.
