My apologies iamuptolate, but I had to delete your post since it contained a last name of am SR. Nice words though. :-) please consider OPSEC and review community guidelines. This is an open site and we need to keep the safety of everyone in mind.

I have been so concerned that Div 337 has had to do so much IT that I will never get a phone call. I just keep telling myself that no news is good news. Here's to a start of a new week and closer to October 7th!

Browns57, I have only received 1 phone call from my girl it was about 2 minutes and to tell you the truth, it was not long enough and ended very abruptly.
Just keep the positive attitude of no news is good news! Hopefully you are getting letters. Hang in there they are all doing great, coming together and getting ready for battle stations. 25 days to go!

Yep. I keep getting reminded by my spouse that no news is good news. She'd be more worried if we kept getting calls that he was having trouble coping.
From everything I have read, they should be easing up a bit on them now. They've survived the tough part!
Just keep thinking, with each day, they are appreciating us more and more.

Yeah I know......hopefully if no phone call maybe a letter this week. My son sent a letter to his sister last week and said that he probably would have already called me by now but they had lost their phone privileges. I do have my phone with me 24/7 just in case.

Hello, I am very new to communicating in this way so I hope I am doing it correctly. My son is also in ship 9 div 337. He did the neatest thing by sending us journal entries twice now. He also has been able to call once. He says he really feels like he belongs. It sounds like all is well with the division. It sounds like he is in with a good group of people, he felt welcomed and felt like they all had the same goals for being there. I am so thankful for all of your children making mine feel this way and I hope he has done the same in return.
