My son, Zac is in 303. We got our first letter from him last Wednesday - in it he says they are only permitted to write on Sundays, and if they have watch, they cannot write until the next Sunday. We got our call on Saturday 8/1 for about 3 minutes - he said someone else in the division used up all of their division's phone time, so they would not all get to call. :( I am so sorry for those who haven't heard from their recruit, but as they say, "no news is good news." If something were wrong, they would have you on the phone in a heartbeat.

They started Marlinspike this week (Basic Seamanship), which, according to my kiddo's letter is their first real hands-on training. He seems very excited.
He said they are allowed to write letters on Sundays and they take about four days to get to our home. I still don't know how long it is taking for our mail to reach him, though. I would like to know so that I know when to STOP sending letters there before PIR and leaving for A-School.

Thursdays is now my favorite day of the week. I rush home to see if we got a letter from her & Yes we did. She is getting to know some of the girls near her better. One girl helped her after she got her wisdom teeth pulled and then my daughter looked out for her when she got sick this week. I cant not believe we are half way through this part of the journey.
