@Dee...that is awesome...nothing can make your day like hearing their voice! So glad he is doing well. My son called Sunday also, Div 269 which is your son's brother division, and was upbeat. He said "just keep sending those letters Mom!" ((NMH))

Hi! My boyfriend is Ship 14 Div 270. So far I've gotten 3 phone calls from him, the longest one was about 45 minutes and the shortest about 15 minutes. I've also recieved 2 letters, and he told me last time we talked that I have a few more on the way! It seems like he is doing okay, and I was so happy I was able to hear from him so much! We talked last on Monday and he told me that would be the last time I would hear from him until the "I'm a Sailor" call. That was disappointing to hear and these next few weeks are going to be hard but I am so excited to see him on graduation day! I am so happy I found this website. It has been extremely helpful in answering all the questions I've had! Hope all of you are hanging in there as well(:

When I spoke to my son this past Sunday he said it would be about 2 weeks until he would be able to call again. I read on the Navy website that the next couple of weeks will include firefighting training, shooting range training, gas chamber, they will learn how to throw out lines etc on a ship....and finally Battle Stations....if they pass this....they make it to graduation. Don't be sad...be excited for him and know you get to see him soon after. Sounds like your boyfriend misses you just as much as you miss him. We are almost there!!!! :0)

I received a letter from SR today which surprised me. He had good and bad news. He was found out that he is an artist and he and another SR painted their division flag together. The bad news is the division is sharing a cough, and he being treated for. Overall, I was very happy to know he doing just fine.

My son is the other artist....that's so awesome!!! What are the odds we would both be on this website. :) I heard there was a virus going around too. Hopefully your son's cough will get better soon. I wonder what the division flag looks like?

He mentioned in the letter that as soon as he can, he wants to add him to his facebook page because your son is talented. It bugs me they are coughing, there I wanted to reach in my bag of home remedies and send him something. I've faith he get through it he is a strong person and pretty sure the other SR's are too!

Hi! Has anyone heard from their sons lately? The last time I heard from Spencer was going over two weeks ago. I keep the phone close so I don't miss him. He told me everyone was having some difficulties, but they were trying their best. I told him to keep encouraging each other; it is a team and you succeed together. He sounded good, but tired.
