Have found when I write my son with direct questions, he never really answers the question. Has anyone else experienced this? Even when he was home he was great at not anwering direct questions. Haha. I heard battle stations can start about a week before PIR. Out of the 3 calls he made, he called his girlfriend. :(

My soon is in div 74... I have experienced the same things... until my most recent letter they have all been short and not answering my questions then the third (and longest) call went to the girlfriend! :-( in one of my last letters to my son I expressed my feelings about receiving the shortest letters. The letter I received yesterday was the front and back of two pages! Lol he said they have battle stations coming up, two more tests so he won't have much time to write because he will be studying and one more phone call... he wasn't sure when he will get the phone call though! Where is sarges meet and greet?

At least you are getting letters! My son is only calling and writing to his wife, so I get all my information from her secondhand. :-(

My last call was on Friday the 27th as well! My boy sounded good, happy and feeling like they're finally coming together. He said their division was still struggling, a few holding the group back! Two were rep remanded for sleeping on 'the head' and their punishment was to stand in a box on holiday routine. they had failed their fire drill because their cheif forgot the roll call sheets. This was two weeks ago though. But I know the whole group is often punished for little mistakes made by others, lots of push-ups and standing attention.
