HI all- got my second letter today, i'm kind of discouraged. My son says him and 2 others screwed up while doing pt and their RDC told them if they screw up again, he would have them asmo'd back to P-days. (I know they can be asmo'd but surely not back to pdays???) He says if that happens he'll "try to quit". I'm hoping he's just blowing off steam. He also says that there is a chickenpox outbreak on his ship (11, div 331) and nobody can leave it. He's afraid he'll get it. I wish I could remind that dingbat that he's already had chickenpox as a toddler, plus he's had the vaccination for it. He also says that the RDC's are cursing at them a lot. sigh. I just don't know how to take this letter. He hasn't called yet.

Yes, that's what my son and a few other recruits were getting fussed at during that I.T. which my son says is where they do PT for long periods without a break. They apparently weren't getting the squats correct and the rdc was saying they were lazy, unmotivated, etc. ugh...

My SR is in the same division as well. I got my letter yesterday and I got a call yesterday and missed it. I was so disappointed that I missed it. I just hope he gets another change maybe today or tomorrow to call again.

Yay! Glad you got your call, even if it was only 3 mins. Hope the rest of us do soon too, I can see we're all stretched thin, nerve-wise.

He also told me thy he went up in rank! So proud of him! Hope all the boys in his Divison are passing the tests! Can't wait to hear his voice!! Glad you got to talk to your son!

lovecmilk, 23 years ago I was doing the same thing you are doing - holding my breath for letters or calls from my boyfriend (who would be my son's father) at Great Lakes boot camp. We got married while he was home one weekend during A school. Now i'm waiting for the same letter or call from my son. *breaks into chorus of "circle of life" * haha!
