I received a call from my son from ship 02 Div 931, Sunday around 4:30. He said he was homesick but other than that, he seems fine. His recruiter had told him he would have 3 days home after boot camp but that is not the case. He was very, very disappointed about that, as were we. I miss him so much and this is the hardest thing I've had to deal with. I have cried so much. Sometimes it just starts and I can't control it. I can't wait to see him at graduation!

I'm so happy for you that you received a call from your son. I still have not gotten a call or letter from my SR. Yes they get no time off after boot camp, :( In fact we only get them for about 7 hours that day, then they have to report back by 8ish. I'm hoping after A school mine will get a few weeks to spend with us but I don't know if that will happen either. Hearing you speak of your son is so touching. I feel the same way and miss my boy terribly. We have never been separated before so this is very difficult. I too am counting down the days till Graduation. I plan on bringing lots of tissue..

Good morning everyone,
I'm saying a little prayer and doing my "make the phone ring" dance in the hopes that we all get a call from our SRs today.

Have a good day.
