My son is also in Ship 3- Div. 83. I received my first letter last Wednesday (4-pages!) and hoping and praying for another one tonite, or a phone call. I'm just wanting to hear his voice. I hope everything in his Division is going okay, because I read that one SR has called home 3 times now. Hopefully, their division is not getting punished for something and that is why they haven't called home yet.

Three times? that sounds crazy. I haven't gotten one call. Was that posted here or on FB. Send me the link if you have it. I would not want my son to be punished either... Did Matt say what job he has? I will add you and send you a message.

Hi :)
I've been doing a lot of reading around, and I've come to the conclusion that our phone call day is tomorrow. After that, we could get any number of calls. From what I've read it's very rare to be given phone calls before the second "I'm alive" call, which we should get tomorrow. The mom that said she got three calls was from Division . . .78? I think. Much earlier than ours, so her son already got his second call, and he must have earned more after that. Lucky kid, that's not common, at all.
Your son is only allowed to SEND OUT letters on Sundays, so you will always get the letters from him on either Thursday or Wednesday, usually Thursday. Don't fret, he's still writing to you, you're just not getting them yet. He probably hoards them until Sunday, then mails them all out :)
He will most likely NOT be a grad and go. Most likely, he will still have things to do at boot camp after he graduates. I believe my husband is leaving the Wednesday AFTER bootcamp. He will have the weekend AND Monday. :) Don't worry, you'll hear from him VERY soon, I promise :)

I got a letter today! I am not home to actually read it but my daughter opened and read to me. Said that he is okay, passed his first inspection, pass his swim test, will have liberty until 8 pm each day for the weekend (he thinks this includes the holiday Monday). Letter was dated Jan 6 and 7. Once I get home I can read and relay more information. Just glad that I got something!

Hey everyone! I got my phone call today, as I'm sure all of you did, but I got a nice message that I thought I would share with you all, just in case you didn't get it from your recruit.
Our recruits division earned the Scholastic Ribbon a few days ago because everyone did so well on their first test. If we do the same for the next two big tests, we will get two more ribbons, and be an honor division.
Awesome ya? So in your next letter, say congrats on doing so well on your first exam :). My hubby got a 4.8 out of 5.0, but I guess that was pretty average, everyone did really well. :)

Excellent, I didn't know the honor part and I didn't get his score, but he said the division is a great group! Yeah, mine said there are 6 flags and they can earn pennants to add to each flag... I think... not sure. But hearing you say it, it sounds wonderful. Thanks for passing it on, I will add the congrats to my letter tonight!! Great to hear his voice! ;)
