I am glad you both recieved calls from your SR's too!! My SR, didn't say anything about calling tomorrow, but he did ask me for his girlfriends phone number...lol. Maybe that is why we wanted her number. She would be so happy, if he was to call her...lol. My SR sounded a lot better also! He has to have his wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. I dread that for him! I hope this next 5 weeks goes by fast!! I sure miss my SR, but was so happy to get that call!! Have a good night!!

Our son is on ship 4 div 038, has any one had their son/daughter sound unhappy? And if so does it get better as the weeks go by? We had one phone call from him so far does any one know if he will be able to call again? I miss him but know this is his dream and I hope he starts to feel better about this. Does A school get better?(I hope once he starts to learn his trade it will be better). Thanks for any support,
A worried mom

Thanks Lori I told him it would all be worth it when he graduates, but you know being a mom you still worry about them no matter what. I just wish they could have more communication with us.

Kimberly68 yes we had our1st phone call since the early morning one letting us know he was there this past Sunday and it was only about 15 minutes long. Someone was in the background telling him his time was up when he was talking to his father and he told him he had to go. I was wondering why I'm reading that others talked for 30 minutes and we only had 15 to talk to our son. And also others have had more phone calls? I hate not knowing what is going on, we all miss him very much and it would be nice to have a relaxed conversation with him that wasn't rushed so we could get more info.! And yes we made our reservations for the hotel yesterday we will be getting there on Thursday before so we can look around the area. What job is your son going to be doing, ours is going to be a gunner's mate.

My SR was also able to call again home again yesterday! This time is was only for 15 minutes. He told me that they were able to call home on Sunday and again yesterday, for good behavior! He sounded a lot better than he did a week ago! My son, will be going to A school in Pensacola, for a year, he is also planning on coming home for Christmas, and hope it doesn't take to many of his Leave days away, so that he can come back home after A school!
