HI,
Just read some comments. I joined this website this past Tuesday 3/4-found the link from the Great Lakes website. My son graduates 2 weeks from today. The first 2 weeks were more difficult then I could imagine. But though letters and Yes 2 phone calls, I have adjusted. He sounds soooooo good, he is confident, happy etc and of course caught the flu- From what I hear, they all get it but he was just like "Mom no worries" he said "Pain is weakness leaving the body"
Imagine that!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see him, I am gonna pinch him to make sure that it is actually him standing next to me!!!!!

They see each other, but CANT associate with them. They do eat all together and I do believe some other things are together as well. Not allowed to talk to them according to my son.

thanks for your reply. I just wondered if they were separated. I guess to some degree they are...and are not.!!

Hi Linda,
My son is in that exact division/ship! Hope you are hearing from your child. They did allow them phone time today.. I got a 20 minute call and THAT made my whole day complete! I hear that that division has a hard time being quiet, according to my son and they are always being scolded for it. If anyone hears of other things from their own kids, let's hear it. Sadly mine stays to himself pretty much because he doesnt want them ALL to get in trouble for talking and getting out of hand and being told to shhh, as he puts it.. I was hoping he'd open up more and make some friends
