I still dont have a phone call but I got the form letter and the box so I have been writing him almost daily. I have already told my boss that I dont know when his call will come but I will take it no matter where I am or whatever I am in the middle of doing. Luckily she totally understands and is cool w/ it.

No box no calls just received form letter Monday.............I will assume they are working extra hard pulling this division together and extra work on top of everything else going on. I had to get off FB last weekend because I kept seeing all of the Mom's getting calls and having box and letters already............i was very very happy for them but so sad because I needed the extra ummmp at the time. You would have thought I won the lottery Monday evening when I saw the form letter haha. My youngest sons birthday was yesterday, I really hope she might get lucky to call this weekend - sure will make his birthday all the more better.

BAMA NAVY MOM I hope you got the box! And I sure hope your birthday boy gets a call cause I know it sure would make my birthday special if I would get a call today!!! Already disappointed that there was nothing in the mail box but bills!!! -

Yeah beginning to make me wonder where her box is...........I have seen a couple that have not received theirs. Her phone had all her contacts in it although now it is two days past having the month renewed. Wish I had just added her back to mine before she left. I checked mail this morning but I know that IF we were to get mail its going to be Tuesday or likely Wednesday. I really hope for a call tomorrow since I know they will have 'down time' I guess.

My SR just called! She sounded great--confident and cheerful. We only got to talk about 5 minutes, but that was enough to make me very happy. She said the food is good and they are very busy. She'd been worried that there would be catfighting among the girls but "it isn't like that at all."
She also said that she mailed me her first letter today. She's been getting my letters and said to keep sending them, "It doesn't embarrass me to get letters. Grandma was afraid it would." Ha! That cracked me up.
So maybe everyone in Div 950 is mailing out letters today? I hope so!

Mine was about the same....very happy to talk after blowing 4 phone cards trying to get the phones to work. So now I need more and 4-5 of her bunkies do too. She sounded great and everyone in the division sounds like they are working hard and doing well. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
