Sprack... I sent you a friend request, once that's done I will send you a personal note. Maybe your recruit is one of the ones my son spoke of. I do not want to use names on this open forum.

Mine is from Cali as well.
My son is Dudolski, as they call each other by their last name. :)
I got my call yesterday too... couldn't have been happier! I knew he was ok, and I wasn't worried about him, just happy to hear some of the things he had to tell me :)
I guess he is being scouted by the Honor Ceremonial Guard. I did a little research and know I can talk with him about it... hee hee, didn't quite know what an honor it was to be looked at for the HG until reading about it today. He says he will know more, and if he makes it onto the HG in 3 weeks.
He said that yesterday was 3-1. But with MLK coming up next Monday I am not sure how that will throw it off.

Yours is not the one mine spoke of but it's so fun to talk with other Moms!!! What an honor for your son, hope it all works out. My son said that their entire division is great and that they all really get along. He said they really do not get to talk with each other much so they don't even know much about one another yet, but because he is Laundry Petty Officer he knows their names! He did tell me that their Battlestations is schedules for Feb 13-14! Good for us to know that and that at completion they would get an immediate call home? Hopeful!!!!

This was a good week!. I received a letter and a phone call all in the same week! Feel much better...think I can make it thru the weekend. My son says that they have a good group of guys, just about everyone works together all the time. In his letter, he told me about the test on Tuesday so I remembered to ask him. Said that he passed...did not think to ask what the score was. Starting to really count down the days!

Mine said that too about N4Ms. He said they all talk about it and laugh (when the RDCs aren't there to hear them laugh). I hope it starts getting easier for them.

My son has met a few guys with Moms on Navy for Moms. He said they do get a good laugh out of it! Anything to lighten their load.

Yea!!!!!!! Got a letter today!!!! He stated that their division is doing really good. Especially compared to their brother division 084. He's glad he got 083 and not 084 as they have been in trouble a lot. Sounded upbeat accept that he has been back at the dentist with dry sockets from his wisdom teeth removal. Ugh!!!!

From what I'm reading around, they should be allowed to send letters out on Tuesdays and Thursdays now :)
So POSSIBLY expect a letter on Monday (that was sent out Thursday) if not, then we should get letters on Thursday and Friday this coming week :)

Got a letter yesterday. Was short, but some communication. Said they were really coming together. Said phone time was cut short (only got to talk with me and his girlfriend, not his dad). Forgotten how pretty winter could be with all the snow. Said this letter was short cause he had not received new mail...I guess mail was crossed because of holiday. His letter was dated the 16th. I mail a letter or two every week so don't know....counting down the days till I see my son!

If you guys haven't sent your recruits some of the questionnaires available from this site, DO. We have gotten several back from ours and they are great fun. My son really enjoys them, as does his bunkmates. They get great laughs filling them out with him. It has proven to be very interesting as we learn more about what all is going on. It just helps them think of what all to tell you and surprises them that we know some specific things to ask. It is well worth your time.
