Hi everyone. My nephew is also on Ship 12 Div 325. Since he is the first in the family to do this, we are having a hard time with him going away for 8 weeks. These forums have helped a lot. I am glad I joined. My name is Christine by the way.

We received our call on Saturday while up north at the cabin. We were at a parade and the emergency responders were all going by blaring their sirens! lol We quickly ran down the street away from them. We don't get the best phone service up there, and sure enough I couldn't hear my sons voice. I KNEW he could hear mine so I kept talking and I told him try another phone at the phone bank, and my husband was right next to me, I said call his phone. He hung up called his Dad, and we still couldn't hear his voice! We ran into the house and went to the "spot" where we've had the best service we could find. He called back! We got to talk to him for 10:42. Damn, I'm so proud of that boy!!!!! It was really good hearing his voice, and he was in really high spirits. Said a couple of the recruits couldn't even float, much less swim the 50 yard test, so for a couple of them boot camp is going to be VERY TOUGH. And, of course, he said what every mother hopes to hear, that his bunk mate is his best friend and he has another really good friend that sleeps right next to him. :) I'm already looking forward to hearing from him in two weeks.

Hi annemai,
