Very happy for everyone who heard from their SR this weekend especially if it was the first time!! I can't wait to hear from my Sr!!
Comment by Starfish1 on December 21, 2014 at 8:19pm

I received my first phone call!!!! Ship 03 division 073. 38 blissful minutes with my SR! He cried when he heard my voice as I did when I heard his. But he is doing really good I had so many questions to ask. I kept my list with me so I pulled it out soon as I heard his voice. The pay phone he was using was kind of staticky and it cut in and out-at one point I thought I lost him but I didn't. He said he won't know if he leaves for A school the night of PIR or the next morning, and he won't know until probably the day before or the day of. He said the guys are calming down & are not quite as rowdy- thank goodness! the reason he missed his call last week was because he was in SIQ having wisdom teeth removed. He said the food is really good! He doesn't sleep much and is very busy yet at the same time it seems like they have a lot of waiting around time. Something that surprises me a little bit is he said he will go for days without letters and then receive a pile all at once. I'm glad I numbered my envelopes because they have been arriving in all different order. He said that some of the other guys have not received any mail yet but if we are using the address they put on their form letter it will get to them eventually.I sent 100 christmas cards with a hand written note in each from coworkers in my office. I mailed them last week in 1 large envelope as suggested on this site. He seemed very touched by that and said he would not mind having them out at all. He said that everyone there lives for the letters and please don't stop writing. He also said he really likes the church he is going to-it is very uplifting.This made my whole month! He cried when he said goodbye again and told me he loved me. But he is doing good and that makes me one happy momma!

We just got off the phone with our son!!! We were able to talk about 30 minutes he is good but said he misses us and does get homesick he kept sniffling not going to think he was tearing up because that breaks my heart :( I'm just going to think he has a slight cold! The calls are bittersweet as much as you love them it's hard to hang up that phone. I hope there are many more calls going out to everyone!
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 21, 2014 at 7:57pm

Congrats on the calls! 

And thank you for posting that they are coming in and what divisions are calling. :-D

There are many members who join the PIR groups but never post and only feel comfortable just reading so it helps them out.

Ship 03 Div 073 I got a call!

Comment by Common Cents on December 21, 2014 at 7:42pm
Ship 03 DIV 074, Recv'd call for 3min when his phone cut out, he called back and he talked long enough( 6min to his sister) to say that he hasn't received any mail (have sent 6), his first written was a 4.7 score, so I am hopeful...PT is harder than he expected, still trying to master it. & passed swim. a few rowdy people in the 073/074 divisions, but majority get along great. So many questions I had for him and just not enough time to ask. The phone he was using was intermittent with cutting out.
I'm hoping you all have a good conversation with your SR, i am sure over the next few days all will eventually get to call. Have a great holiday.
Comment by Kizeile on December 21, 2014 at 7:33pm

074 calling! One happy momma here!!!

Comment by diannep on December 21, 2014 at 7:15pm

Getting into the military frame of mind with a loved one in is hard.  You will find that friends/family who don't have anyone in the military will try to comfort you, but they don't understand....especially when they compare someone off at college to like being in the military....grrrr!  They MEAN well, but have no idea what is so hard is the lack of control our loved ones have over their lives (owned by the Navy!) and most of all, no contact except for when the Navy says, ok, you can call or write now.  HA!  But the good news is that during A School, it really IS more like a college experience....except they are much more restricted than college students (as far as leaving base, returning to base, and radius they can travel from base!).  But all keep in mind what a wonderful thing they are doing....serving their country.  Nothing better!  :-)
