Ship 09 Div 134 - Has anyone gotten a letter from this Division yet?
Just curious if anyone with a recruit in this Division has gotten a letter yet?
I have only gotten a 5 minute phone call on Sunday the 7th of Feb.
Also, the quick call we got upon their arrival said that "you will hear from me in about 3 weeks" by phone I'm assuming is what this meant. Do those calls typically come on a Sunday??
Thanks
Lori

No letter yet. And it's really heartbreaking! Received the standard "I'm here call" and a 1.5 minute call on 2/7. I have received the spouse info packet. (I thought it was a letter from him, but just info on ID cards and Insurance.)

Thanks. Yeah the informational letter said Mar 26 - so looks like we will be there the same day :-) I just hope everything is on track timewise - I will feel much better once I hear something. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a letter or call will come in by Sunday

I am still at work. The first thing I do when i get home is check the mailbox. I'm almost afraid to look because it is hard getting disappointed at nothing - I understand.

Great!! I ran home for lunch and found 2 more letters in the mailbox. I think now that we have finally started getting them we will see them coming more regularly. I'm so happy for everyone.

I got a letter today, dated on 21 feb.. He sounded so good still. I was thrilled at that...then this afternoon 3 ish I got a phone call. That was even better...he said they had like 20 min. They had been given some liberty to go to the NEX but someone made the RDC's mad and they took that away from them. He said the division passed a test, which was some computer test on Monday. He said the schedule gets vamped up some from here on out. He is scheduled to have his wisdom teeth and another tooth extracted on the 1st/2nd of March. He said it wasn't too bad...still about 3 to 4 feet of snow on the ground, but it was nicer today. Sounds like their division is a pretty good one ladies...so maybe that will help ease some worries for some of you. :)
