So encouraging, Valerie.  So happy for you and your SR!

Valerie,

That's cute that your SR would score the 5 for a candy bar!!  Whatever motivates them, ehhh??! 

Your SRs' moods will go up and down during Boot Camp, just like all of you, but it will get better and better!

My son called Saturday and we were able to talk for 20 minutes.  He sounded good.  It's not all rainbows and sunshine but he's doing a lot better than I thought he would.  He told me I made him tear up with our first call so I kept this long one happy and cheerful and asked him who his buddies were and if he needed more band aids and mole skin.  He said no to the mole skin because he said his boot were broken in.  He did ask for more stamps...... I still haven't received a letter from him, but hey at least he is writing.  He said the food is ok but they have the same thing everyday for breakfast.  LOL.  He also said if he scored a 5 on something he would get a candy bar and soda, I'm sure he'll score a 5.....just for that.  I expected my son to be broken up and down but his calls are just the opposite which helps me tremendously!

My son is in a push group.  He is in division 084.  He arrived on 12/8.

What is the push group?

coachjb:  What division is your SR in?  Divisions call at different times.  Calls are pretty much random.  Even if a family member is told by the SR that he/she will call again on (date), they can lose that call (as a division or individually) or have it changed---they can also earn calls.  Best advice is to keep your phone glued to you during Bootcamp.

RhodyAnchor:  Sounds like you are doing everything right!  When the divisions get to call, some are having a bad day, some maybe not.  But I know it breaks our hearts when we hear from them and they are sad at that moment.  It has been 5 yrs since my son was in Bootcamp....I was lucky in that I didn't miss one of his calls....and most times, he was in good spirits....but his voice cracked one time and it was hard!  Just know that on PIR Day, you will realize all they went through was worth it!  That is quite a ceremony!
