I totally agree with you on that. But I learned this from reading other posts. My son told me if you leave letters out that you get from friends/family the RDC's may read them. He said that the letters need to be put in some box they get. It is horrible that they read personal property and turn around and make fun of the recruit.

Hi Kelly, my name is Jan. Is saw your son is in the same ship/div. as mine Ship11 Div.061.

For some reason, its so exciting to hear of moms who are in with our sons! I got my form letter today and it had three sentences on the bottom from him. OMG, i could almost see him writing them. :) he sounded like he was in a good mood (i could tell because he made a joke). lol Which made me feel so much better, not hearing a WORD for two weeks was a killer.

Angela and Kim are the other two moms in our group. I dont know if you heard anything from them yet? I wrote him a letter and mentioned their sons names to him in case they know each other , thought it might give them something in common or something to talk about (even though i heard they dont get to do much talking) :( You can contact me at any time if you want to chat about anything. Nice to hear from you. ttyl

Hi Kelly (correct?)! We are driving to Great Lakes from Mpls, MN. It's about an 8 hour drive. We won't be able to leave Mpls until my oldest son is done with his night class around 10:00 pm. We will be good and tired during PIR. I made our reservations today at the Ramada.

As for the clock, it was a whole lot of trial and error. I will get back to you on the directions once I remember what I did. :)

Hi Kelly, my son is also in this division. I don't know how many Master at Arms there are. He said he is becoming friends with one named Paul. He's also from NC as well. I kept waiting and waiting for that call yesterday! I'm really trying hard to know it may of only been that one call last Sunday. But, when you are so used to seeing your child every day and keeping track of where they are, the not knowing is a killer! I sure hope his division is working better as a team. My son said that it's rough going for them. My nephew graduated on 12/17 and he was in a great division. They got to call home all the time. My sister got a call at least every other week. Luck of the draw I guess as far as a division goes. We are still trying to figure out if we are driving or flying. My husband is taking that week from work. So, driving may be it for us. Don't want to run into bad weather to cancel a flight. We're originally from Worcester, MA. Have been down here in NC for 14 years.
