I am so hoping that we get phone calls this weekend! My son Brad is Master At Arms and will be going to A school in San Antonio. He's always been interested in law enforcement so he was thrilled that this was offered to him.
We are all going to need to where something with our screen names on them lolol!

Has anyone heard anything as of yet? I really have been hoping for a call today!!!

No I haven't, and it's killing me! I get on here every hour to see if someone from our sons' division has gotten a call. My phone is going everywhere with me, even the bathroom! LOL! I keep telling myself 'there's still time!'

Still nothing... I am not sure how late they can make calls...it is probably 7:30 there. I hope they get to see fireworks or something this evening to celebrate the fourth!!! I hope you have a happy fourth. Maybe tomorrow!

Nothing here, either. My fingers are crossed for tomorrow, though! I don't think they get to watch fireworks or anything, according to the RTC facebook page. If I hear anything tomorrow, I will let you know!!! At least I can take comfort in the fact that none of the 269 moms have received a call...it would really worry me if some did, and I didn't!

Today was a little hard. First 4th of July family gathering without my son. No call yet. was hoping to hear from him. Maybe tomorrow.

My son called home just now!!! He sounds so good, is passing all of the tests thus far...actually said he's kind of enjoying boot camp!!!!! He said the food is 'pretty good!' and he has adjusted well. It was so amazing to hear his voice after so long of not hearing it. He said everywhere they go, they march...they even marched to the building where the phones are lol. He's passed his swimming, he didn't like jumping off the platform, and he's passing the physical fitness stuff just fine. I hope other moms are getting their phone calls, too...its made all the difference with me! I feel kind of silly for worrying so much now lolol.
