Menzvibe, our son is in your son's division also. His last phone call ( this past Sunday evening) he also mentioned that there have been like 15 people leave. I think he was guessing but who knows. This phone call was a MUCH BETTER one! He actually sounded like himself and was in a better mood. Im hoping our sons' division has finally figured it all out!

It was a great call on Sunday night. My son also, expressed that several recruits were no longer in the division. I pray every day that they get team work going. It seems this is happening. The laughter in his voice gave me such peace. He said they had a very good day. He was very hopeful and his attitude was optimistic. He is so enjoying being in the Navy. Please keep me informed I will do the same. Friendships in the Navy or everlasting. Can't wait for the next call!!

Hi everyone,
My son is an SR in DIV 289. We have received one personal letter from him, and two phone calls. His first phone call broke my heart, we both were very emotional. I suppose it was just hearing the voices of love ones. It is amazing how we take such things for granted when they are taken away from us. His second phone call was upbeat and he seemed has though a light bulb went off in his head. He shared with me that he shares excerpts from his letters with the other SR's because it is motivating and uplifting.
I find this venue so supportive. I look forward to meeting all of you. Just as our son's and daughter's are forever bound together, so are we.

Miasdad, I'm looking for 289 also and haven't seen any photos. We weren't expecting much contact from him. When I go to bed at night, the last thing I think about is my SR, and I smile because I didn't get any phone calls from the Navy. "No news is good news"

it is different then when I was in the Army, we could make phone calls on sundays only and encouraged to write letters more than the 1 time a week they do here. I am really looking forward to seeing pictures of the group so I can see how she has changed, I can hear it when I talk to her and see it in her writing as well. at this point in time I agree no news is good news.
hope your SR stays strong and focused and gets through this, it will be awesome to them all graduate. the feeling they will have after completion of basic is one that you cant take away, it gives them all the confidence in the world knowing I was pushed mentally and physically to a breaking point and I made it.
