MariaFaith my husband is just like yours E-3 hospital corpsman same division! We are from Florida! No call here either. But I read in the group they went into radio silence which means no calls just letters. Which I'm hoping to get one today. Is any one flying into ohare in the evening I'm getting in around 1945 hours (7:45pm, trying to use military lingo as much as possible :). and staying at or near the navy lodge maybe we could share a taxi (or call this Sarge everyone seems to be talking about) would love to meet some other spouses :)

I'm hoping to receive letters today too. I usually receive it Thursday but it was holiday last monday. I still do not know yet how am I gonna get to Navy Lodge on June 19 Thursday morning.

I got letters yesterday and after I read the letters my sailor (Div 205) called. He said two of them were given an hour call as their reward for doing great in folding their clothes and fixing their bed. My sailor is better than me in folding our clothes and fixing our bed lol. We talked from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm. He said about 8 of them will graduate late because of failing the PT and one got into trouble twice already(kinda loud and won't stay still). He said the one who got into trouble cried and hugged him. But the ones who failed the PT will still be able to comeback and graduate on time if they do good. He said they have not done the gas chamber test, maybe next week and he does not have any idea yet about the battle stations 21 test. I am praying for everyone in his Div. I hope they all make it on time.

I got an hour call too!!! And a letter got a short call last night as well. He is the EPO and the the guys did well on their last test so proud of him! But not surprised since he was a teacher for 7 years before he decided to join.

Thanks. He said they are going to the NEX tomorrow and they might be able to call but he said he is not sure so he asked me to not expect but always hold my phone.
