Ship 07 Division 012
Welcome Mom's in this Division, we may get a scheduled call from our SR's today. My SR told me in a letter last week it was going to be Tuesday Nov. 22 They have Battle Stations so it may happen late? Please post if you get a call. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I wish I felt that way. I think all of the hair will be gray by Graduation day.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got the paperwork for Thanksgiving leave (not really the correct term, I suppose, but they do get a break from regular RTC routine that day). So it's official. Our boys either get to be adopted by an immediate family member from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. - or go with their division to a community organization where they can eat Thanksgiving dinner, call home, watch movies, play video games, etc.
If you plan on visiting your SR that day, they HAVE to send you the paperwork to get them. You cannot just show up and surprise them. But if you are going to see them you should get the paperwork within a few days.
Happy Friday!
p.s. is anyone on here Bryce's mom/wife/sister/etc.? There might be more than one Bryce, but i'm sure that can be sorted out through a direct message. He's my husband's rack mate, so I thought I'd try to find his people :) email me at haymcdee@gmail.com if you're on here.

I can't lay claim to Bryce, but I'm really happy to see they get a whole 12 hours off. I am so looking forward to a call from him on Thanksgiving. I'm also hoping he can talk someone into taking a cell phone pic and sending it to me. That would make my day!
How do you manage living so close to the base? I probably would have been arrested by now for spying on them daily, trying to catch a glimpse of my SR!
Enjoy your time with your husband on Thanksgiving!

Hahaha - oh my gosh... I totally have thought that might happen at one point. I try to be pretty casual about my 'spying' - I only really peak through the fence when i'm walking by with my dog, but every now and then a military police car drives by and my heart speeds up a little haha :) I assume it's pretty harmless or they would have invested in a proper wall. Some people's back yard fence is the base fence - that would probably make me go stir crazy! I'm glad I have a little bit of distance at least. I did get to see them practicing their marching with their new division flags! I didn't know which one our division was, but they all seem like they're getting much better!
If I get to see any of the other SRs in our division on Thanksgiving Day, I'll try to go all paparazzi style (if they even allow me in with my phone) and post some pics somewhere and link them.

That would make alot of us happy to see pics!! I haven't heard anything more from Lucas and it is getting to me. If I lived so close I would probably be pulling my badge out when the MP came to me and said oh you better move along.

I know you offered to write to my recruit before. I am just checking in to let you know my last letter for him was great. He sounds really happy and focused now. I just hope they get the TEAM WORK going before Battle station.

I am writing him and 3 other boys. Lucas asked me to write others so I am assuming they were not getting mail. Since I have this many the notes are quite as "personal" because I type up the letters and send the same one to all of them. I am so glad to hear he is doing better!
