No call today, but I was blessed with a call last Wednesday. (?!) My boy had to call so I can send MORE info for his background check. After he gave me his "laundry list" he was able to talk for another almost half hour. Division 042 is doing fine... not too much extra PT, lot of guys are sick, but not "NOT FIT FOR DUTY" sick... he is making friends, and his feet have blisters which have kept him out of the pool for the swim test until they heal. No letter yet. Now, back to playing sleuth for the background check info. (sigh)

Ship 11 Div 042 - I didn't get a call either. By the way, it looks like there are several Nukes in this Div. Count my SR one of them!

WOW - that's a lot of Nukes! My SR is going to A school in San Antonio for MA

Yes my sr is a nuke. Got a call about an hour ago from him. He had his wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday. So glad to hear his voice. Actually, he called his girlfriend this time and she three-wayed to me. Such a good idea. He can talk to more than one person at a time!

Anyone else get a call from their SR tonight? I just got off the phone with mine! YEA! He sounds so much better than last week! He did say that 30 guys in their div (042) had their wisdom teeth pulled this week! UGH! Sounds like they are making friends. The catch was, I asked him if he knew a couple of guys, first names I know and his response was "Mom, we only go by last names". Hmm. He did tell me too that he's the ONLY SR going to San Antonio as an MA! A few other guys are going to San Antonio, but not for MA. He said 25 - 30 SRs are going to Nuke school! So glad to hear his voice! Here's hoping the rest of you guys get calls too! He did tell me too that he finally got letters from home - they all came on the same day! :-)

I got a call from mine, it was short 5-6 minutes but he sounded good. He did have a little bit of a cold going onm he was fine last week but it has hit him now.

I got a 20 minute call at 1717 (5:17) PacificTime. It was good to hear his voice too, even if I had heard form him on Wednesday. His biggest worry right now is the background check for his rating. This time we had a good connection-- and he even got a chance to talk to his younger brother. He said tomorrow is training week2 day4, and he doesn't think they have holiday routine tomorrow for Veterans' Day, but is glad to know that it is tomorrow. He said that he is losing track of what the date is, other than what training day it is.

Jocie, my SR is in that division as well. Finally got a call last night. He sounded so much better than the last time I spoke with him. Hearing his voice was the best thing ever. Mine indicated that the division was pulling together and getting it as well. Happy Veterans Day to you and all.
