this is sad that there is only two of us on this ship and div. I know there more. Most of them are on the RTC facebook page. I heard that we just might be a phone call Christmas day. I hope so.

I saw my son too with a big smile. Thanks for the heads up it was the Best Christmas present everyone was here and got to see him. He was easy to pick out I'm glad they didn't have their hats on so you could see their faces.
I was wishing for a call but the picture was awesome. Merry Christmas!

My SR called home today and I was at work. It's the only number he knows:( He left a recording so I saved it to play for everyone. I felt so bad he didn't get to speak with us. He sounded great and answered some questions I had. First I was sad when I didn't get a letter but cheered up when I heard his voice. He said he did write some more letters so maybe tomorrow.
Just a heads up incase you get a call too.

My son said he like his div. They work as a team. And they give each other support. Said they had some good ideas for there flag but have not started on it yet. Don't know when it has to be done. My son said the hardest part is he does not get enough sleep. Other than that he sounded good and happy and I could see that in the pic. Hope everybody has a safe and Happy New year. And I will see you all after the new year. Love and take care.

We got a letter today. My son said he is enjoying the photos I have been sending. He stated he was writing the letter on Christmas day but it did not feel much like Christmas. I'm just glad that he does not seem homesick. He sounds like he is making lots of new friends and eating really well. I hope he is eating well because he was a very fussy eater at home. He said they even get cookies. Happy New Year Everyone.
