I am walking around with my phone glued to my hand today as I am sure you all are. I cant wait! I got 2 VERY short letters yesterday and he sounded really good. Said he had found the advice given by his dad, uncle and grandad of "pay attention to detail" the best advice ever. lol He really didnt give a lot of info tho so it is nice when I can fill in blanks with the info I get from all the wonderful mothers, wives and girlfriends on this site...it really has been a comforting blessing. I am looking forward to seeing what everyone has to say if we get our phone call today. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving I know it was hard and for myself Im kinda 'thankfull" that it is over because that is one more day closer :)

Ladies of Division 038 - We have spent all day waiting anxiously by our phones, and yet no calls. I'm guessing by now since it is 7:43 @ Great Lakes that we probably aren't going to get calls. This may mean they didn't pass Inspection Wednesday. As broken hearted as we are imagine how our recruits must feel. The worst part is they have probably known since Wednesday they weren't going to get to call and had no way to let us know so that we would not spend today in agony by our phones. Prayers for them because if this is the case I know they are more heartbroken than we are. They probably feel they let us down as well as themselves. .

Happy Thursday Ladies of Division 038!! Keep those phones handy, we are supposed to get phone calls today. I am definitely ready to talk to my recruit, it's been 4 weeks since i've heard his voice. He called his Wife in the first 10 minute call they had a couple of weeks ago. But that's the way it should be... Wives come first when they get married, letting go and taking a back seat in their life doesn't come easy!!!

HOOYAH Got off the phone with my son a few minutes ago. The knee is good, PRAISE THE LORD. He had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out Monday but is doing great. He said they are on Week 2 Day 5. For those of you trying to keep up with the week/day system he informed me Saturdays & Sundays don't count. So tomorrow will be Week 3 Day 1, Monday will be Week 3 Day 2. They get their second haircut tomorrow and have been measured for their Dress Uniforms, gearing up for Photo Day. He passed the Swim Test and made the run in the allotted time on their 1st PFA Test which they did this week. They won their 1st Flag today not sure what is was for. He only had 20 minutes to talk which he split between his Wife, his Dad and I (and of course I was last) so all at once he said "I gotta go, love you mom" and poof he was gone. I am on top of the world at just hearing his voice!!! .
