My girlfriend is Ship 4 Div 292. Of course since she is female they are housed in different spots. I just got my third letter from her yesterday. Her first letter got to me the 22nd I believe. Got 2 calls so far. First call was the 16th, last call was on the 29th.
I'm real anxious to learn if she will get liberty that weekend as well. I hope when she finds out I get a call instead of having to wait extra days for a letter. -

My son is in this same div and ship, I've gotten one letter so far and no phone calls, I'm hoping to get a letter today and maybe a phone call soon. In the letter that I got he sounded good and positive, I can't wait to see him at graduation.

Good to hear from others on here. I was begining to think no one else was on. My son is supposed to be going to Nuke program. I think this week is the one where they get their "jobs". I read it on another group area of the week by week breakdown. I also saw on boot camp group a video showing what they are doing and their racks. It was a good video. If you get a chance, take a look at it. I hope they do get leave for weekend because my son's friends want to make the trip to see him before he gets too far away in SC. I hope to get to meet all of you that responded at the graduation to celebrate these brave kids accomplishments.

My girl said the division passed Marlinspike in her last letter.
Still no call since the 29th. Got like 4 letters Since the start of the month though.
August 4th, 6th, 9th, 11th.
She said they were letting them write more often now. I'm expecting my next big one the 18th as she has more time to write on Sundays and the letter is longer. The others are shorter. -
