Mandysmom - I'm wondering if the "no calling" is something that this entire division is dealing with. I have always received a call from my SR each Sunday, but I didn't get one this past Sunday either! I'm hoping that I will at least get a letter from him tomorrow that may shed some additional light on whats going on.

So sorry! If it helps, I feel your frustration - we have had only one call and two letters. The last letter was dated the Father's day Sunday and my son said that he couldn't call because he was SIQ with strep throat, as were lots of the SRs in his div. Plus, I think many of them have practice for a few hours on what is normally free time for other divs. The upside consolation for most of us 900 moms is that we will get to see them perform online the next 2 PIRs starting this Friday :)!!

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know they would have graduation early! If that's your (gorgeous) SR in the middle of the group photo, mine is just next to her on her right :)

Hi all, my son is div 936...I also went a few weeks without a call. Finally got one this weekend! They are almost there!! Big week for them tho. What are your sailors doing in the band?

Plus, I only got a call because it was my birthday, my son said he had to jump through hoops to get it.

Happy Birthday! We got a surprise call Friday (grand total of two now, haha) My son is in drumline.

Which drum is he playing? I watched last weeks graduation a zillion times so far to watch my son!!! So nice to be able to see him!

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one binge watching the graduation video! It's so great to see them! My son is the one on the glockenspiel (which he's never played before and is not usually a Navy drumline instrument - so I was really confused for a while until I saw him;) Is your SR in band, which instrument? To be honest, I'll probably watch it again, lol

OMG, I know I'll watch it again myself! My son is standing right in front of your son! How cool. Your son does his solo, then my son does his, they must know each other pretty well then. This is so cool...so then I've watched your son perform a zillion times too. LOL! What did your son play in the band before, he sure looks like he's played that instrument before!!! That's a lot to learn that quick for sure! :-)

OMG! That's your son, he is amaaaaazing!! We have been loving his solos :) Mine has never played in a band or any band instrument, but sings and loves to arrange music. He told me he arranged the four pieces they play, but it's supposed to be a surprise for us (shhh!) The only other letter we got from him was a lengthy request for song lyric sheets to pass out to his shipmates - so maybe there's another surprise in store for us ?
