I got a letter from my SR. It's getting better and he sounds much more upbeat than his last letter. They are down to 80 SR's and he's thinking a few more will still go, some of them just can't stop talking when they're not supposed to. He said that their div will get 60 minutes to make phone calls on Thursday (tomorrow yay!!) That's 60 minutes total so it will be short calls, so get your questions ready for a speedy conversation. Foods pretty good, he's Honor Guard and handles the rifle, he said it's tough but will get it down. They have started doing more PT, he's grateful because he is "shrinking". He ended his letter ORDERING me to get a smaller version of his Simba tattoo on my ankle. Think I just might do that. Hope you all get your letters and stay close to you phones tomorrow.

Lisah!! I have heard about your SR from mine in his last letter. He really likes that tattoo and your SR is taking the flack from the Chiefs with great stride. Finally, we are matching each other up!

My SR said the same thing about the talking! Praying those SR's get it together! Would hate to hear about more having to leave :/ My son loves Rifle/Drill! He was on the team in NROTC in High School - they had a great team! I used to love watching them - Soooooo looking forward to seeing all of our Sailor's looking so sharp on 2/8. It will be amazing!

I got a 5 minute phone call out of the blue today. I believe we should all expect a 30 minute phone call tomorrow afternoon! The timing of the call was almost divinely inspired... my cat I've had for 9 years, who has always been sick, had a massive stroke this morning and I had to put her down. All I could think was how much I wanted to talk to my SR. 3 hours later, I got to do just that. Kitty heaven is a real place <3
