Our letters arrived as well. My son sounded the same about the new RDC, good to hear. Hope you get a call during your husbands down time, mine had his pulled a few years ago so he lucked out! Happy day…until the next communication!

I'm so happy for you all who have gotten phone calls. My son hasn't called yet, though. He must have missed the chance. I'm kind of disappointed. Oh well, no news is good news, right? We did receive a letter along with the Christmas adoption form. He sounds like he's doing okay but the division is getting yelled at a lot because some of the group don't follow orders well. It was so good to hear from him!

bdmom64 your SR might have been on watch when they were able to call, all kinds of things can get in the way so maybe soon and yes, no news is good news! My son said the same about some of the division not being with the program yet. He said the next week or so is when they start figuring out who won't make it to graduation. 31 days till graduation!

bdmom64, our sons are in the same division. I didn't receive a call from my son this weekend either. It is disappointing. My son had also said that there were a number of recruits that are still struggling with the change to military life.

No letter, but I did get a call yesterday. Could only speak for 3 minutes, but he did have to make a second call to his dad. He sounded good, misses home, said there were a few recruits who weren't with the program and thus cause some issues for the division. He is headed to Pensacola after PIR.

Has anyone received any letters today? I heard that there was something wrong with the key to the mailroom, but when I asked my husband about it when I spoke to his this past Sunday, he said he was able to send out more letters. However, there was no mail from him today =(
