Great day!! I got a 29 min call this morning!! My RC had to call for security reasons again..but I dont care why he called just that I got to talk to him! He is doing great!! Says food is good, the wool blankets suck!! He said they are getting mail and he sent out some letters to us on Friday...so we should all be getting mail soon (at least from this Div) :o)
His Division has been in trouble lately and he said they have had to do IT (Intensive PT) 9 or 10 times and they have lost 2 of their 3 phone calls. The phone calls were lost due to not properly putting their safety bars up/on on thier rack. They lost 5 mins for each person that did it wrong.He said they have a chance to earn them back with a test but the Div needs to have an average of 4.0 to earn one call back. He said there are some RCs that are really struggling to get it together!
He said today they have PFA (a fitness test). He isnt looking forward to it. He said some of them have been sick, he is getting over it now as well. He foudnout he will be shipping out on Saturday they 4th and his A school was extended by 5 weeks. It was so good to hear from him!!! I cant wait to get a letter as well. I hope you all hear from your RC's soon!!!

Hey! Thank you so much for this! My BF got to call yesterday for about a min. He called his dad I'm thinking b/c he knew it had to be quick. He needed papers faxed over. He said it was hard but he was going to make it. I'm so excited I may be getting a letter! That sucks about the phone calls though. Maybe they will earn them back!

Wow! I hope I get a phone call soon. And like I said before, I hope my son isn't one of the strugglers. I'll be outside today working in the yard. Better take my phone out with me. So far just the letter from last week is all I've gotten. Thanks for the info.

Didn't get my call this weekend. :( It'll be 3 weeks on Tuesday. Hope I get one then. Hope to get a letter soon, too. I wish those strugglers would get their acts together. Another day of wondering........

It was kinda funny as I was reading the one and only letter from my son (so far) he was writing then stopped and wrote "there goes another 5 mins we lost from our second phone call". I think the more they lose it might make them understand the team concept. I hope they earned a high enough grade on their test to get the call privilege back! But like people say no news is better than bad news!!
