So excited just got my first real call today to. I can't wait to see my son. He sounded a sad but happy to talk to me. I told him things would only get better from here. He said if all goes well he will get to come home for Christmas and his sisters wedding on the 29th. But he will have to report back to A school on the 30th. But I will take it. I am one happy Mom. Just praying all goes well for him and all the sailors.

Had a short call from my son in 034 a couple of hours ago. He's still a bit frustrated about getting IT'd as a group when one person messes up. He knows it's all part of the plan, though. He said most of the division has, or had bronchitis. He did confirm ten days of leave after PIR.

My husband called today. Our phone call was only about 7 minutes or so.....how long was the length of other phone calls in Div 034? He also said that most of them, including himself, had been or are currently sick. He is coming with me after PIR! :) He said the division is still struggling a little on working as a team, but I know they will pull it together. He said he will call on Thanksgiving too.

My son is also in Div 034 and we had less than a 10 min call today. He is now well after being sick. Said one other guy who came with him sent home. Also said div trying to work more as a team and has been hard. Didn't know about Thanksgiving call. I told him to keep hanging in there and show leadership. He is 27 and so far, so good.

Thanks MommaJeri. Don't know why my son said he would have to go back a GL if he took leave then go to Pensacola ( his A school). So he is having the Navy fly him to A school after PIR then he will check in and ask for leave . I live 5 hours away so I will pick him up and drive him back to Pensacola. I'm hopeful they will grant him leave from A school. Different then I have read here but sounds like a good plan. :-)
