My son is ship 14 div 074 I got my first letter on Sat and my second phone call last night at about 8:30 pm. So hang in there moms I'm sure you will hear something soon! My son told me that he had received my first letter and that the drill sergeants only open packages so he received the pics I sent with no problem. I was excited to hear that because I also sent a Christmas card with a book of stamps wrapped as a Christmas gift inside! I was excited again when he requested that I send stamps! Lol he also asked for preprinted mailing labels... ill have to get another letter out to him! :-D

Our sons are on the same ship and division! Our son has even said in his letters they are great friends and bunk mates! We too have mailed stamps and photos! He's getting the pictures for Christmas. During his call this evening he said he hadn't received them yet. Has your son? Nice to meet a mom who's son is with ours!

Hi everyone. My son is Ship 14, Div 073.
I got a call from him last night. He sounds exhausted and down. I cried when I got off the phone with him. It's so hard not to be able to give him a tight hug and tell him it will all be ok.
I write him a letter everyday.

I received my second call on Sunday. I was so happy to hear from him. Had a really bad connection though, so it was difficult to hear him. He sounded so much better than last time. He was happy to be off light duty. (had a small reaction to shots) He was a little sad that he had only received a few letters compared to most of the other recruits. I told him not to let that get him down as he is older with a rather small number of family and friends. He said his favorite part was all the PT. Boy did that make me laugh. I always assumed that was the worse part. hahaha
I also received a letter Saturday.

Jamie, so glad you heard from your son again...my daughter-in-law got a call from our SR on Christmas Eve with the news that he's a Chief Petty Officer! Wow. I couldn't be prouder. I think he said some of their letters from home had been held up (or maybe their letters) due to IT. Hope that's all over now. We made it through Christmas Navy Moms!!! Counting the days 'til PIR. :-))
