I received a bonus call from my son today because he needed some additional information for his job. He is Div 305 and he said today is 1-1 if you are following along! He also said they were told the chapel will be open for extra guests on PIR day!

Connorsmom, I got a phone call early this morning because my husband needed an address. Two hours later I got another phone call from him and was able to talk for a while. He told me the same thing about the chapel. When did your son leave for bootcamp? I don't think we can post specifics, but I wonder if your son and my husband are going to have the same job and that's why we got the bonus call. I don't think that is a normal thing?! But boy am I grateful for it!

Wow two calls! Lucky girl! My son left on 7/20. Definitely sounds like they could have the same job.

They are both at work can i call the number back that my SR called from once one of them comes home from work?

Anna, not sure if your following this yet, but when I talked to my husband today I told him about this site and said I had already "met" a few moms and significant others from his division. He thought I was kidding and then went on to say he met a guy before bed last night and they talked about how he was engaged! Made me wonder if it was your fiancé :D

I am so glad I found this group! I am in 2 PIR groups on Facebook but not one single person in them is in Div 305. I was feeling kind of lonely in there. LOL How many of you are going to Sarge's Meet and Greet on 9/10?
