Besides the "I made it here" phone call, I've gotten two phone calls from my son. The last time I spoke to him, he said he would be calling again the next Monday, but I haven't received a call since. I get a week's worth of letters in one envelope every week. He writes one every night, and then mails them all Sunday. I write him and mail a letter to him every day. Although they can only mail their letters out once a week, they receive mail every day, and they really look forward to it.

LOL. He probably should be doing more studying instead of writing. He likes to write, and I think it makes him feel a little less homesick. I hope you hear from your son soon.

Ship 03 div 039 I waited too long to book my flight and paid costly for it, I still do not know what is the procedure? are they going to graduate regardless? I know that this is the week we suppose to receive a Phone call saying "Mom I am a sailor" but what happens if they do not pass the drill ?Will they keep on going through it until they do right before graduating? Any way whats done is done, hope he will graduate on the 12/28/12, ,and that I will be there with him .

Hi there! My son is in the same ship and division. I got a letter today saying they "flagged" their compartment inspection and athletics! They were preparing for an inspection this past Monday for Drill and Test 2. Does anyone know what Test 2 is?

Hi again, what do you mean by "FLAGGED" please explain, I juast finished talking to SERGE, made arrangememnt for my pick ups, in and out, sounds very nice, I asked him what is the chance of them not making it, he just said,"think possetive" so that is what all of us have to do...I do not know what test 2 is, I would never thought it will be so difficult to get the right information about anything.

I think "flagged" means they earned a flag or flags. I received my son's letters yesterday, and he said they earned flags, so I'm guessing that's what it means.
