Hoping to get a letter today since my mail day is Wednesday and the mail is pushed back a day. Mail doesn't run until around Noon and the waiting is killing me! I am gonna go get busy and maybe the time will go faster. Let you know as soon as the mail runs.

Did you get your letters? I got mine yesterday (Friday) and it was a letter written over 3 days (8/29-8/31). He sounded really good and was very informative. There is a lot going on but they are all doing well and from what I understand, "they probably won't get a call until after Battle Stations, so a few more weeks" and that was per my SR. No specific date though. Keep positive ladies - these SR's are a lot stronger than you think (and probably stronger than they even realized) and they are doing fine!! :) Don't let it get you down even when it seems unbearable. There is so much to be proud of... light those blue candles!

I just got a 30 minute phone call from my SR. When asked why they were allowed to call, she said that because they were doing so good. Said that the Division (366) has really come together now and that they have earned two flags. They have done well in inspections and has the big drill inspection early next week. She said that they don't do very well when practicing but they are more of a game day division. They have finished gun training and they will be fire fighting and gas chamber next week. She also gave me the date for Battlestations. PM me if you don't have it yet. Graduation will be here before we know it.

I heard from my RS for 36 minutes, said he thinks 365 got to buy candy and they got phone calls. I asked if they get a choice and he said "no, but if we did I am sure my division would choose phone calls home"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
