Anyone Ship03Div271 gotten a phone call? A couple of letters arrived, but no one has gotten a call in 2 weeks, not even his girlfriend! I'm wondering what's going on.

My son called on Father's Day. Then we got a letter saying that we shouldn't expect a phone call for a while. Not sure what was up but from reading between the lines there are some in the div who aren't team players. Which is crucial. So no calls due to a few bad apples. Grateful for the letters!

5 of us leave New Orleans July 24 to drive to Great Lakes. I am sooo excited and getting more so every day. No phone calls for going on 3 weeks; I understand that some need to learn teamwork. I pray that those will learn it quickly, and we will hear the voices of our SRs this weekend. What an awesome country we live in!

I talked to my son yesterday!! I had missed his first 2 calls- he was exasperated about it too- he sounds great and says all is well- he has made good progress with his PT ( his weakest area) and is ready to graduate! He is division 272 and it looks like they have a very good, seasoned Commander!. He says they are down to 85 SR now. I told him to be on the lookout for any recruit that won't have family at graduation- hopefully we can all try to take an extra kid with us so no-one will be left out. Looking forward to PIR!!

Last week was a great week, got 2 calls on the 4th one long one and one call back saying he had a couple more mins and called back to just say I love you mom. Then, also got a call on Friday while I was at work. We had a good chat really missing him. I can't wait until BC is over so we can do calls and skype any time. The count down is on.
