We received two letters and a phone call Friday. My son has a cold but spirits are good. Said he has made good friends one from Rhode Island and two from California. I am so excited. Can't wait to see him. Asked that I send gummy bears, stated they are allowed one item for Thanksgiving (Ship 03 DIV 036). Said he has stayed under the radar, not gotten in trouble, but if someone else does they all pay. He also stated he is allowed leave so we are booking his ticket he can leave after 4:00 p.m. on the 21st. We are flying him back 7 days later he doesn't want to use up the leave, he stated. Hope this helps others!! He also stated he will be allowed about three other calls and to check face-book they took pictures of them.

Has anyone found the photos? I have looked but not had any luck. I still have not received a call. I did receive a letter on Friday. Just said that she hasn't gotten any letters from me.......I write her everyday! I have double checked the address. My heart is breaking, just do't know what else to do. Where the heck is her mail going to? It does give me hope in knowing that no news is good news but ........a call would be nice. Happy to hear that everyone else has been able to speak to their recruit.

Got the 20 minute phone call from my son Friday! We were so excited to hear from him. He was great through the call until the very end when we all got pretty emotional. He has made a really good friend with a guy from California. Now we are planning travel arrangements to the graduation on the 21st. My problem is that will they only be bussed to the O'Hare airport or is Midway and option as well?

We also got a 20 min call and letters from our daughter Friday. Sounded good, said she knew another Moms daughter and that some of them had been sick. We are flying out on teh 19th, staying in Chicago that night and then driving to base on Thurs. Not sure if we will do a meet and greet, but hope to meet many of you if possible. Spoke to a friends daughter who is now stationed in San Diego who said that they loved getting letters, but only got to write on Sundays, and that the last PFA is the one that matters. Glad to know everyone has heard from thier kids and know it was nice, but sad as well. Hope everyone is doing well and are as excited about seeing how much our children have grown. Keep us all informed if anyone hears anything new, and look forward seeing you at graduation.

First call FINALLY came this morning!!! We were able to talk for 20 minutes. She finally received all my letters last Monday. Since then she said they are coming on schedule. She doesn't hate BC, she said things are going better than she thought they would. She is also looking forward to Christmas break. She said that she thought today she was going to chose her "Dream" stations. Thought she may get another phone call this weekend. I can relax now. They are right when they say no news is good news!

My son is on Ship 03 DIV 036, he called this week said he passed first review and was fitted for his blues. Anyone on here from Rhode Island? He said he has a good friend now from there. His cold is gone and he was upbeat. Said he got his one item he was allowed for Thanksgiving (gummy bears) and they allowed him to have all that would fit in his mouth. Hope everyone else is getting good news! Can't wait to meat everyone. We are from South Texas, he also mentioned a friend from Texas too!!
