Did anybody else get a call today from their SR in ship 13 div 127? My son tried to call 3 times in a 5 minute period today and I missed it. He didn't leave a message. I am so sad and upset and slightly worried as I heard from his last Sat (he was doing great) and didn't think they were able to call every week?? So if you talked to your SR today I will be a bit less worried..

sarahbngo- I got a call on Saturday. It was my first other than the 2 security calls. We talked for about 30 minutes, then someone came in a told him he had to get off the phone. He said Division 127 was cool. He also said he was trying to stay healthy as many of the sailors are sick. He may have to get his wisdom teeth pulled but wasn't sure yet.

My son called about 11:00 this morning. He sounded great... That was the first call I got. Sounded like everything was going great. He had no complaints about the division... Sounds like some are not getting along so good. I didn't specifically ask about it, but when I was asking about other stuff with the division, he was very positive.

I talked to my SR today he said they all did really good on their test they took and got their first flag, whatever that means. I could hear he has a cold and he said mostly everyone there has a cold but that they were overall doing pretty good.

Sydney our son also talked about having a sinus infection. He said just about everyone had a sinus infection or a cold. he was really excited about getting new clothes. he said he had gotten his dress navy blues and whites, another pt coat and some more clothes. he had pulled night watch last night and had been up for 20 out of 24 hours. i think they are doing good too from the way he talked, we were so thankful to get to hear from him again this weekend.

Thank you ebennett, Sydney, and Dalton's mom. I am now relieved that it was a routine call home :) sad I missed it but so glad to hear that they earned their first flag and that they are all doing really good :) I know my son will have no issues with the cold weather as he is one to wear his shorts all through the winter. I was more worried seeing the recruit pics on facebook they posted yesterday with ski masks over their face that he would be too hot. If you haven't already seen the pics here is the website http://www.facebook.com/#!/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand?fref=ts
I didn't see my son, however in any of the pictures... I hope they post some more!!

Bizarre, well I am not surprised as mine is not much of a writer- :) I don't expect to see much but it would have been nice to get a hi! I will keep checking the mailbox... and keeping my phone close incase there is a chance for a call tomorrow during "holiday routine" but I won't hold my breath... sigh...
