Hi soon2bnavywife,
My Son is in Ship 3, Div 236. We got mail from him the last two Thursdays. Both letters were very short and sweet. He say's things are going good, could be better, but good. We got our first phone call last Wednesday. It was so good to hear his voice. Hopefully you hear from your SR soon. Just keep sending mail to him. My SR said he really looks forward hearing from us. The first time he recieved mail, he said he must of read it about 10-15 times. that broke my heart.

I also have an SR in Ship 3 Div 236. 2 calls home, missed them both (he forgot the time difference). But so many letters, none of them really detailed. Missing him so very much. NavyMom101, I definitely get what you mean about the letters. I carry all of the ones my son sends home around in my bag with me. It's hard not to hear his voice but I know he's doing the best thing for him. It was certainly a lot easier when it was my husband going through it, that's for sure! LOL

Hi Socon8iv,
So good to hear from someone that has an SR in same ship/div. Do you have any idea when our SR's will be Battlestation21???? i have heard July 25 and "im a sailor" call July 26. Wow, that seems so close to PIR date. God forbid they didn't make it. Then what??? We are flying out from California on the 27th. This info is making me alittle nervous. Although, i have no doubt my Son wouldn't get through this part, anything could happen.

Hi Erin in Mobile,
Both our Son's are in the same Div. It is so nice to hear of someone that has a SR in the same Div. You mentioned you got a letter and a call last week. As did i. But i think most of his time allowed for writting and making call was to his girlfriend. Which was fine, I Love her to pieces. But i didn't get a whole lot of info from him. How about you??? How their Div is doing,etc. I don't know why, but i was kinda hoping for another call today. Which i have'nt got. I have been getting mail from him the last couple Thursday's, so hoping to hear from him tomorrow.

I receive my letters from my SR on Thursdays too :)
Now that you mention it, my SR doesn't give me that much info on what he is up too either, (which is odd bc he is my fiance) I have found out a few things from his parents when they got to talk to him 2 wed nights ago and figured he would mention them to me in his letters but, he didn't and I just now thought of that when you mentioned it....hmmmmm?? All he has told me is that he runs, marches, does PT (and what his parents told me involved PT but he didn't mention it to me) and folds clothes, does classes, etc...and he also mentioned his ship school is 4 weeks instead of 2, I wonder if I should be concerned. Interesting....he may just not want to be embarrassed by telling me idk. -

He says it isn't too bad. He told us he passed his swim test and can now do hospital corners when he makes a bed. i just wish it were July 29th! I am so ready to see him!!!!

So glad to see people posting on this discussion :) I have received 3 phone calls 2 wed nights ago and I MISSED ALL OF THEM because I was at church :( his mom informed me that she had just got off the phone with him like 10 minutes prior to when I got there and he was about to call me so needless to say when I got home I had 3 voice mails from him, and he would kill me if I told anyone this but he was so upset that he didn't get to talk to me that he cried in the last 2 :'( I was seriously depressed and felt horrible. I have received a total of 4 letters from him as of yesterday (I got 2 yesterday but one of them was only like 6 lines long saying how he tried to call and I wasn't there and that he loved me all that mushy gushy stuff that ya'll probably don't wanna hear lol) He seems to like basic, he says it has its ups and downs, he had to have his wisdom teeth removed 2 weeks ago, but other than the lack of sleep and the food, he seems to be doing just fine. I cant wait to see him in 27 days :) made it past the half way mark...finally, now lets hope this next month passes just as fast as the first one did :)
I just wanted to give you guys a update on my SR :) -

When you get calls... what area code are they coming from? I don't always answer unknown callers... maybe I should start. Also... my son had his wisdom teeth removed too... UGH... breaks my heart knowing what that feels like and imagining the other stuff they are challenged with. All I know is that knowing they are working on the last 21 days is somewhat of a comfort!!!

my call was from an area code 847 and i have been told it could show up as unknown. Hey has anyone heard when exactly our SR's will be doing Battlestation 21??? I thought i read somewhere it would be following Captain's Cup, which i heard would be the Saturday July23. And Battlestation 21 will be July25 and "Im a sailor" call on July26. Has Anyone heard the same???? Also, heard there is a list out with each Divisions scheduled time for B.S.21. Anyone know of this as well?????
