I was so excited, but she too sounded like maybe she was sick. There was some static in the background.

JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MY SON!!!!! 5 minutes and 17 seconds of bliss. He sounds so good, and happy! He's a Section Leader (what's that?). Passing everything easily- ready for more physical challenges. Doesn't like the stress of "hurry up and wait". Said I LOVE YOU so many times!

I also got to talk for 11 minutes! I'm so happy today. I had just left my job of 12 years in Fresno, Ca yesterday to move to TN so it was a sad day but today made up for it!

Hi scootersmom94, when i talked to my daughter, briefly, she said some of the recruits had their wisdom teeth out and she said she thought they would not be able to make calls today. One of her close friends was crying because of it and she tried talking to him to make him feel better and then got yelled at :( Sounds like its all very emotional. I asked her his name and they only know last names..i should have wrote it down or recorded my call, i forgot lots lol
Im pretty sure the last name started with an 'O' ?'...
I hope you get ur call soon! let us know when you do please.
Thinking of you

Got my call at 1:05 pm est from my daughter Ship 14 Div 019. She is sick as a dog and has been since she got there, she told my hubby it might be from a penicillin shot they gave them. She called my hubby's phone for like 2 min, mine for 2 min and she left her boyfriend a voice mail, he is devastated he missed her call she cried threw his message. I think she has that Ricky Crud people have talked about.
