Our son also said that they need extra prayers for next week. He was really excited about having the free hour at the NEX and they are looking forward to passing the final tests.

Our son was also telling us about all the flags they have won. He is also in 037, said that is why there leader has been so hard on them. He wants them to pass with high honors not just slide by.

My SR is in 037 also and told me the same thing about getting all their flags. He also said 038 is just across the hall and razzes them all the time because they are ahead. No matter where they end up, I am so proud of them. But push on 037! Mine also said he would know next week where he will be stationed.

My call was not as long as you ladies calls. I am wondering if that has something to do with him being a flag guy at graduation so he has to practice. He did tell me that he passed his inspections. We are getting closer!

Disappointment! No phone call! And only a very short letter.
Thanks for the information from the other families that did get calls. -

Roz, is your SR in DIV 038? If so, we didn't hear from ours this weekend, either. *sigh* Hopefully, it will be their turn to call soon....

No. My SR is Div 037. Not sure what the issue is, but definitely frustrating. All we can do is wait. I am with you BIG "SIGH" . But it is almost time and hopefully "A" school will be a little better with the communication opportunities.

Our son is in 037 and he had told us that the entire division got 1 hour free time at the NEX and that was Friday evening. So sorry you didn't hear from your son though. Their division is in 2nd place as of Friday but they are very close to being # 1 pending the rest of the tests this week. Hope you hear from Him soon.

Just a heads up ladies, some weather models are showing a heavy snow for the Chicago area on Thursday, December 20th. Just be prepared ....my hubby was driving up to get our SR on Thursday but now will be going Wednesday in case road conditions are bad. Just be aware of this possibility and know that weather models aren't always accurate. Let's pray this one is wrong.
