Hmmm, I didn't get a call from my son Jay and am worried cause in his letter I got yesterday he sounded pretty demoralized and actually wrote he was demoralized. He has the EPO duty and is physically fit but I think they are finally breaking him mentally since they can't use physical training as punishment on him cause he loves and thrives on PT. I'll just need to pray pretty hard for him.

What?! Did everyone got a phone call? I didn't. Hope I did not miss my call. I just woke up..worked the night shift and i was so exhausted and slept like a rock. I was just loosing sleep lately because I've been guarding my phone like crazy. I guess my body just gave in from exhaustion. Oh my! I don't have any messages on my phone though.. I hope Joel is okay.

Yay! Got my call. We need to do the group prayer more often LOL! My son sounded good though he said he was fighting something. He said quite a few have been asmoed. He did say they earned the call though because they're doing well!

Well they kicked BUTT on PFA & Compartment inspections- they earned flags for both, so I just got off the phone with him- 15 minute call!!! I'm so excited he passed his PFA easily, so now I am not worried at all about him passing the final one! They are also doing really well in marching, have a 4.69 out of 5 so they will likely earn the flag for that, too, on Tuesday. And he said they are sponsored by a helo division in the fleet and so they have a flag for that, too.
