My son is in Ship 03 DIV 194. He called Sat 4-6 and Sun 4-14 too !!! When is the next time they may call ??? My son also said they are a " Push" div, which means their Div is going through boot camp at a faster pace and it will last 7 weeks instead of 8. Does anyone know what they are doing this week ? I have received 2 letters so far and run to the mailbox daily.
Thanks, Karen -

Hi Karen-NavyMom ...my son is Ship 03, Div 194 also! From what I've been able to find out from another friend is that last Thursday they were week 4 day 2. I'm not sure if weekends are added when counting. If not, today would be week 4 day 5. My son also called last Tues night as well and said they would not be calling again until after Battlestations :(

My son is also ship 3/div 193! I haven't received a call since the 16th either, it's been tough! He is our only child & we are so proud of him! We usually receive his letters on Thursdays because we live in a more rural area. Last letter he said they still are not working to we'll together, hope this weeks letter is more positive. If I could just text him I'd be better!
Will you be going to their PIR? -
