I'm glad there hell week is over now maybe it'll start getting a little easier on them. When we get the "I'm a Sailor" call is it a real call or another 30 second call any idea?

Not this week. No letter since Saturday. I assume they are very busy. My husband said the division was still going through a lot and there was still a lot of trouble going on. =/

Did he say why they have a new RDC? I think it doesnt sound right. They don't change RDC because the recruits are having trouble. And what kind of trouble is going on?

Is he 338? My son sounded good to when I talked to him on the phone 2 weeks ago. He hasn't mentioned any problems.

I'm with you - this is nerve wracking! I haven't gotten a letter in two weeks, and I know he's sent out letters to his sister and a friend. I'm working with the no news is good news philosophy, but I still run for the phone and listen for the mailman (okay, it also helps that the dog doesn't like the mail carrier - she's the real radar!). It's difficult not to be distracted by the thoughts of "I wonder what they're up to" or "I hope they're getting their acts together". I have to believe they must be very busy. But I'd really like a call or letter...

I have a feeling we will all probably get maybe one letter this week. These last few weeks will be busy. I'm staying busy so as to not get distracted by worried thoughts. The next call we will get will more than likely be the "I'm a Sailor" call. Look forward to that!
