Ship 09 Div 239

Hi everyone, just looking to see if anyone has hear from their SR? I received my form letter June 13 a week after my daughter left, but not calls or letter from her yet. I realized they don't have much time to call, but I was hoping to at least get a quick call.

Hi Angie,

Sorry to hear you have not gotten a call yet. Did you check your voicemail? My daughter told me the calls were scheduled for yesterday. I almost did not answer my call because I did not recognize the number on the caller ID. I hope you hear from him soon.

I'm sorry you didn't get a call Angie. I'm hoping for you that he was on watch or something and will get to call soon.

Oh, I'm sorry, hopefully you"ll get one soon. Maybe there were too many? I know my SR only had a few minutes, and couldn't reach his dad whose on a trip in Canada.

Paloma,

My daughter made friend with a female Navy Vet who has become my guide and friend thru this process. I asked her about not getting calls and she said if someone is "on duty" like the watch etc they may not get to call when the rest of the team does. Hopefully this will change and you will get a call. Best of luck.

Hi Everyone, just got another letter from my daughter dated, June 26. She found out she's in a push division. I can't really get a clear picture. Something I read said they only do 7 weeks of boot camp instead of 8 so they graduate earlier. I don't understand if the graduation date that came in the form letter 7/29 stays the same.Anyone have any other info?

She will graduate 7/29. A push division just means some DIVISIONS in their PIR group filled up and are being pushed through with less time in basic. They will still do all the training it just may be more packed together. Unless you get a specific call saying she will not be graduating(which they would call you for) she will remain graduating at this very date:D

Hey all, I don't know if most of you are aware of the RTC facebook page?? You all need to hop on that if you haven't already! Every Tuesday they post a trivia question and the first to answer is rewarded with a pic of their SR's division!! How awesome would it be to see a pic of all of our loved ones?!?! You gotta be quick though, I just tried for the first time today and my answer came in like 15th!! and I was fast too! So don't forget, every Tuesday!! I'll be posting reminders hahaha
