Ship 07/Div 289!
I noticed that there are a couple discussions on specific Ship #'s/Div #'s but I did not see ours. If you have a SR in this Division you have found the right place!
Let's share a little about our SR's...
My boyfriend was in DEP for about 5 or so months or so before leaving for boot camp. He signed for 10 years as a Nuke and will be going to A-school later this year, hopefully in South Carolina!

That's awesome! Yeah I have a good guess that your SR and mine will be good friends, mine is 20 years old but he is a big people person as well as a goof ball lol. I'm happy to hear that everyone is positive!
Well, I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that tomorrow is the day... please please please!

I finally got a letter, thank goodness!
He sent it on 07/24 and I just got it today 07/30 so a six day period I guess. He's hoping that they (the division) will get phone privileges tomorrow so make sure you all have your phones turned on high!

I forgot to add this to my note here yesterday... in my letter my SR mentioned that his division not only graduates on September 1st, but that they might be a push division to graduate even earlier. Has anyone heard anything like this from their SR?

oh wowwww!! i got an hour long phone call today! I couldn't recognize his voice at first, he had his wisdom teeth taken out and his cheeks were still so swollen, he sounded funny :) He seems to be doing very well, I'm so glad I got to talk to him!!!! 1 month ladies! :)

Oh gosh, I remember when I got mine taken out... no bueno! I hope he is well and not in too much pain, luckily my SR already had his wisdom teeth pulled but he did mention having some dental work done too. Well I am very thankful that we finally got to talk to them and from what I was told he will probably not call until another three weeks, is that what you got from your FI?
Anywho, I'm extremely excited about the 1 month mark! Keeping my fingers crossed that it goes by fast. Until then, I'll just keep writing my daily letters :)
