Hi coastieet!
Nice to meet another mom with a daughter in the same division. How is your daughter doing? My daughter is doing ok, very, very tired and seems kind of stressed right now. I think after this week they will be doing much better. I don't think she realized how tough it was going to be for her.....we tried to warn her, but teenagers....My daughter said she has made a really good friend in her division....what job is your daughter going to go to A school for and where will she be going?

My daughter is doing great, she's also tired & stressed, but I think all is well (considering). She just let me know she is making fiends too (i knew she would!). My daughter is planning to go to GM school. The last I heard she was going to TX, but I was reading the GM school is in IL, so I do not feel certain I know exactly where the school will be.
I just read a post on one of the forums here saying '3 more Fridays' if you look at it that way, it seems shorter. :)
Nice to meet you too!

Hi Mamma D, my daughter is in the same division. I think (since as I write this it's been about 10 days since your post) you have found your letters. I have received 2, they only get time to write on Sunday & then it's brief. I just found this Group. Are there any others for Ship 3 DIV 297?
Thanks!

My son is also on Ship 3 Div 297. I got the call stating he made it but missed his second call. I've got 4 letters and the last one he sounded a lot better. I'm counting down the days until we see him.

Samuel.. our daughters are in same division. My daughter said they have a nice RDC very firm though. I got a few calls from my daughter. Business related but was allowed to let me know basic details of how she was doing. No personal call though. But I'm not complaining. I got to hear from my daughter then most moms. :)

Becca's Mom, I am glad to see your post. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one. My son is same ship and div, only one short note and no calls. I feel better now and know how you feel. I know my son is doing well but the mind does wander. Almost 1/2 way is a good feeling. I can't wait to for graduation. God Bless these young men and women, they are doing a great job! Take Care.
