I just got a 6 page letter from my son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) So happy! He didn't mention anything about being sick - praying he isn't! Hope all that are sick get well very quickly. He said the Div is rocking!! Ahead of schedule and looking great :) He is pretty happy with being Starboard Watch Section Leader - doesn't get much sleep and he gets the "beating" if someone screws up but he said overall everything is great!

@K's Mom -- Going on what you said earlier, so are our SRs section leaders of other division's? I guess that would make more sense but I'm still a bit confused on what a section leader would do anyway.

From what I gather - A section leader is for their div only - each section leader has part of their div under them. They are responsible for making sure the guys in their section are doing what they are supposed to be doing and if things aren't done right, the section leader is responsible and gets the "beating"...

I got my fourth letter from my son. He said his new best friend and bunk mate is from Hawaii,(he told me his name but I'm pretty sure that's a nono online), anyways I was hoping to connect with his mom, if your on here friend request me and we can compare notes.

Hope they show up on here :) The only mom I have seen from Hawaii has a daughter in, so I am sure it isn't her - hehe

Really missing my SR tonight. I never thought it would be this hard..sigh He's always been my rock and I don't know what to do with myself. The next letter/call can't come soon enough.

I know how you feel. I've only had two letters and one phone call... I should be happy but man is this really hard. I went in thinking "What is 8 weeks when we have the rest of our lives after this" but minutes are moving backwards at the moment. 5 Fridays seems like a lifetime.

That is exactly what I thought too, "8 weeks is nothing we'll have the rest of our lives to do whatever we wanted". Days seem like weeks and weeks seem like months. It's only been a day since his last letter and I've read it around a dozen times already. Seems like we both are rocking the same boat sigh
