Gentle reminder...Last names are not allowed on this site per the Navy for Moms guidelines. You can post initials and states or cities. It is also practice for all of you with OPSEC and PERSEC.
The RDCs also read this site, and believe it or not facebook. You want your SRs to run under the radar and posting a last name gives the RDCs a big "ping". :)

My daughter is the Recruit Religious Petty Officer for the Div! She sounded great, said she LOVES it, and thought it was going to be harder than it actually is! She said she lucked out & didn't have to have her wisdom teeth pulled but they did tell her to have them checked again after A school.... she was MORE than ok with that! She sounded in really high spirits! Said she has an awesome Div & brother Div! I hope everyone got their calls & your SR's sounded as happy as mine!!!

Oh My Sassymom.... I am sooo sorry to hear this. Hopefully his homesickness passes some now that he has at least been able to call home & hear your voice & soon he will start receiving mail. I wish I could share my SR's name as she is very upbeat and maybe could help your son feel better. To be honest I was very surprised by her happiness! She has never been away this long & I was afraid the homesickness would be her downfall. They say the first couple weeks are the hardest so he should be on the uphill! (Sounds weird when I write it out) but hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say! I really do hope for your sons benefit that his body sickness & homesickness subsides and he finds a way to keep pushing forward! I will say an extra prayer tonight for him! (And you too:)) If there is anything I can do PLEASE let me know!

My happiness from receiving my husbands call has worn off, wanting more time and a better connection. Missing him so much today. Looking forward to his mail this week. It was nice to know that he would be able to read our mail today. Hope everyone got to hear from there SR this weekend that have all been so patiently waiting. 39 more days! Good Night all. May we all be blessed this week with mail and the hope of another phone call. Hugs all around!
