DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

It was an amazing phone call wasn't it? I was so depressed all day... my brother in law graduated today so his wife posted pics of him in his uniform and I wished it was happening to me too! Then the phone rings!! I recognized the number from when my sister in law would calls and I immediatly started bawling lol!!!

Yes it was. I was still at work when he called and had missed the first two times he tried on my cell phone! Fortunately my manager let me take the phone call, and it was so welcome.
It was nice to hear his voice and to be able to cheer him up. I like making people laugh, especially my husband, so I just told him as many funny stories as possible.
That said, I'll share one with you guys, and you can look at my profile pic and tell me what you think; not 5 minutes before he called me, I had a customer at the store claim that I was intentionally unhelpful to her because she was black. No one told her about my husband (because it's none of her business), but when I told my husband he just laughed and laughed and said...oh really?
I'm glad everyone got phone calls! I have heard that they are still having some small disciplinary issues (talking when they shouldn't be, making beds properly, very basic, but still having problems with it!) and that most of the division got sick starting at day 1 and are now finally starting to get better, but I know that it will only get better for them.

Ohh that would be so cool if they were!! I talked to one of his friends for a brief second lol. And he told me how strong I am for taking care of our daughter while daddy is away. I was like ohhh its really good to hear outsiders tell me that I'm doing a good job! Lol. I send FMLs (posts ppl make about sucky things that happen to them during the day www.fml.com) in every letter I send to my hubby. He says everyone in the div attacks him for them they LOVE them!
