Hello :) Where are you from? My son is calling his new friends by last name and state:) he has a new friend from Virginia :) He is doing well he was in charge of what he called the "head" but seems that didn't last two long. He wasn't too big of a fan of that. he said good behavior is getting him the extra calls and him on Facebook 2 times. He is in much better spirts and talking more about friendships than homesick. I am glad :) I think he is going to Florida to train.
What about your son?

My heart felt condolences to you (bluemom) and your family. You are in our prayers. May your spirit focus on all the love around you during this difficult time. Stay strong. Your SR needs you. I do hope to hear from all our SRs sometime soon!

Thanks for the condolences! Well, it seems SR wrote his girlfriend 8 letters and none came for me and my husband. I am a bit disappointed, but his girlfriend came over to the house last night and shared all of her letters with us. That was so sweet of her. We gleaned a little bit of info out in between all the "I love yous" and "I miss yous." LOL One thing I do know is that my son really loves his girlfriend. And, he has a lot of respect for her, too. That really makes me proud. One thing I always drilled into his head...have respect for women and treat them well. I just hope they don't do something impulsive like try to get married too soon. I hear that happens a lot in the military because they miss each other so much.

My SR called yesterday, too! Ship 13 Div 124 - all did well on test so they got to call. Mine also said it might be after BS21 before they would call again :( Said it was 2-5 so they do have a lot to accomplish before 3/28. Does anyone know if there is any chance that they would be moved to the next PIR? If they are scheduled for 3/28 and doing ok, then they will probably make it for 3/28????
