Stuck at work and missed the call from my SR. He said he only had about 5 minutes as he was one of the last to get to use the phone today so he left me a voice mail. He said he just received a letter from me dated 1/2 on Saturday so apparently it's taking over a week to get their mail. Also, he had made a good friend there that got medically separated which my husband tells me means he is discharged. I feel bad for his friend. It's got to be tough. I also feel bad for my son, but am confident he will make it. He said it's been pretty easy lately but starting soon that will all change and that it will get really tough for a while. He said he sent his battle stations info in a letter he mailed yesterday. It was great hearing his voice again and knowing he's doing what he's got to do. He's counting the days - he said 25 - and so am I.

I missed my call as well on Monday, I was at work and the only one there. Of course the time he calls the office phones started to ring. I have not been able to talk to my SR yet, both times he had called I could not answer. I can just set and cry, I miss him so much, I have only received one letter so far. Thank God for you all on here, this how I find out what is going on up there. My SR had been able to reach his father my ex, he has share some info but not sure if it's everything that was said. The rate I'm going I'm not going to get to talk to him until Graduation, I sat around all weekend glued to my phone praying for a call, no it had to be on a Monday when I'm at work.

I missed my SR's call as I was at work. His younger brother is home from college so he took the call. Glad they had a chance to talk. SR had his wisdom teeth out last week. From what was relayed to me, he sounded good. I am so glad someone was here to answer the phone, mid afternoon.

My son also had his wisdom teeth out last week! There must have been a group of them. My son is in Div 090.

I'm so sad to hear this. I am almost done with working almost 18 hrs straight at the hospital. Because of this, I missed my SR's call. He left a message. He's coming home. Very sad. I'm wondering what is going on in div 089. My SR looked so forward to becoming a Sailor. There are no words to express how I feel. I wish all of you well and will be thinking of you on Feb. 7. Congrats to your SR's :)

Hi JulesB. I'm sorry to hear this. I can't imagine his disappointment. I think our sailors might have been friends. Please PM me so we can make sure they stay in touch.

My sailor has said something about them being the largest and therefore being the loudest, but nothing about them being the worst. I only saw one comment regarding it being the worst and it was yesterday a mom relaying what her sailor thinks is being said.

RyansMom: That is very sad that these SRs are being told this. My guess is that their RDCs are telling them this most likely untrue info to motivate them...in a very negative way, in my opinion. Happens in every PIR group that some are told horrible things about how they are doing...please assure your son that this is normal protocol for some RDCs, it is used to motivate them, and that you know they are not the worst division and will do great!
