Hello my son is also in Div 331 and I have gotten Three letters and one phone call that lasted 5 min. I am wondering do they only write on Sundays or any day they have free time? How do the phone calls work I was hoping that I would have gotten another by Friday but it did not happen. I am counting down the days til I see him and get to hold him. Thanks for any help.

Sorry no call for you, does your son have a girlfriend. It was 3 minutes for our son and he called his girl first and we got 20 seconds from him. His girl called me to tell me everything- she is such a sweetheart. My son (ship 14/333) said they might get another call time just a couple weeks before PIR (10/12/12)
Can't wait to see our SRs- Keep praying !!!

This is a very quiet bunch here at the USS Kearsarge!! Today is the 24th of September and there has been no activity for days and days... time to make some noise.
Anyone know any good jokes?:)
Well it was worth a try....
I guess none have us been contacted with any information. Some of us should get a letter this week, and I hope all are asking for dates. Remember we cannot post dates here, but we can personal message the information to each other "offline". So, be careful and spread the word privately when you know!
I do believe uniforms were issued this past week, and I heard the SR's went through their fire training.
I have been looking at other divisions and some have progressed nicely... are done with hell week and are getting some calls.
Hang in their Kearsarge, we're getting CLOSE!!

Boxinator Mom- Yes it is very quiet- it seems like all other divisions but ours are being mentioned... but that's probably just our perception, with our being so anxious, lol. I've only had 2 letters (a LONG while ago) and no calls. The silence is maddening but I just keep sending letters to my SR and praying.
Do you know if our div has completed hell week? -
