I saw what was posted on FB, just wanted to say that it may not be that they're not allowed to send letters out as much as the fact that they may be too busy to write letters. If they have extra IT or extra anything, it would cut into their letter writing time (as I stated, my hubby has been seeing people staying up at night writing letters regardless), so that would be the reason they couldn't send mail out. Since phone calls are privileged, and as we've seen with other posts from other Navy moms/wives/hubbies can be lost due to action, it's less likely they would ban mail when they could just ban phone calls...and we all know how emotional that first phone call was! Phone calls are more scarce and more valuable.
Don't fret! Again, no news is good news. Frequent phone calls, or unexpected phone calls usually are something bad (failing a test, being really sick, getting ASMO'd, etc), so the fewer calls, the better! Getting in trouble and losing a phone call won't affect graduation time, and if something were to affect graduation timing, you would be told almost immediately. Again, my sis-in-law received several phone calls from my brother (even had to mail him a new phone card because he ran out of time!), but it was always something bad, so she dreaded getting calls from him. Don't worry :) We're only 30 days away!

I agree completely -- I think at this stage, I don't think I even want any phone calls :)

Haha Richelle! And Rachels mom... Jacki did mention that she and Rachel do talk as much as they can. She says that Rachel is one of the "cool chicks" she talks with. Apparently there are several of them in that division who are going to corpsman school.
