Well thanks so much for setting all these forums up! Near as I can figure, it looks like our boys get to do a serious workout today, running and whatnot. Wonder if they will be doing anything to mark Pearl Harbor rememberance?
Whatever did moms do before the internet was here to keep us informed? Probably work, housework and other useful things, lol!

Hi Mary,
I looked at the thread that you posted. What day are the SR's on today?

from what I've been reading, the best guess I have is 1-5. Saturdays don't count. My son arrived on a Monday late in the day, so I don't know if that day was counted as p-1 or not. I'm assuming it was.

I don't quite understand how this all works~ confusing!! I got my first letter from my son..

They get to right letters almost always on Sunday. Keep sending your SR letters it will keep them going. Hopefully the kids that arrived later in the first 2 weeks will get to make a call next week. My son arrived on Nov. 26th and was in the last group to get in this DIV. They are on the fast track meaning they have to learn more in a shorter amount of time. When I was in bootcamp 20 years ago we did not ger our first phone call until week 5. But when they get mail it is the best part of the day. If i didn't get mail 1 day it would realy crush the spirit.
