I got a call yesterday from 155, it was good to hear her voice.
this is what I posted on FB **I just had a 35 min phone call!!! She sounds tired, she is tired, still likes it, gets yelled at A LOT, food is still good.....she's glad I sent the envelope to mail letters back home....thanked me for the cash, said she's not going to be able to write as much because she's exhausted at the end of the day. The weeks start on Tuesday - they are going on week 4 - week 5 Tuesday is the blood drive. They have started practicing for graduation - she kept saying 26 days!! She said the week of the 15th is when we can send things for graduation, she wants mascara, eyelash curler and TWEEZERS!! Lol!!

Edandkim my son is also in Div11 ship 156.Your not the only one who's worrying. I have no password, no call yet it's been 3 weeks and haven't heard from him. I did see a picture of him on fb, had about 5 minutes of happy years. Have my phone glued to me butt so I don't miss his call. I read somewhere that the mail invitation to graduation. I'm freaking out because I haven't received one!! This is so nerve wrecking.

Got my call last night. Not the news I expected. "Don't come , I won't be graduating". I know he still has a chance & I can still get my "I'm a sailor" call but this is hard especially since I can't encourage him & tell him how proud we are of him. He sounded so sad. I was able to tell him how much we love him & to keep trying. We would see him as graduation.
