Hi there Rowena-- My daughter is on that ship 07/Div 171. I am worried about her. I got my first letter, well 2/3 of a letter this week, she ended in mid sentence. Seems to be doing ok. She also wrote a friend also, they got a little more info then me, but they shared it with us. Have you gotten a phone call yet? I am sooooo waiting for that call. And I just discovered, I am having problems with my cell phone (calls aren't always going thru :-( grrrrrr. Went to Sprint today, they are ordering me a new phone, won't get it until Monday. I have some ? I would like to ask u--I may put in friend request.

Hi everyone! Just found this site! I love that I'm not the only one stressing about phone calls and letters. I'm so incredibly proud of our sons and daughters -- it's almost overwhelming!!

Hello psgama, do you have a son or daughter in GL...I agree it can seem overwhelming.

Son. I too received a letter and it was upbeat and full of respect for the RDC's. I've read his letter around 10 times and cry a little every time I read it. He said, "This is by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. One day at a time. But it's not that bad."
What about you? Son or daughter?

It is my son also and the funny thing is he also seemed to have respect for the RDCs, he said they had really good RDC, he qualified it with that doesn't mean they don't yell at us a lot..my son will be staying in GL for A school to be an OS how about you.

Don't know yet. What's OS? Right know we're just flying by the seat of our pants. And really really hoping that he qualifies (right word?) for PIR in May -- I'm anxious to see him.

Colleen, I am sorry there wasn't anything, it would have been nice to here something on your son's special day. Hang in there I am sure there will be at least a letter soon if not a phone call.

Sorry I have been offline, but Yay, I got my first letter! My son was very up beat he told me that he received only one of my letters, but he wrote it over a week ago, he said that they only get to write on Sundays. He loves it there and he said much of the same that others were saying fast paced. Very respectful as well. I have read his letter 5 or 6 times!
