My son is Ship 09 Division 264. We are from St. Louis, MO. His name is Matthew Reynolds. I know he has made friends with a gentleman from Kentucky who played football for the University of Kentucky. It would be great to friend his mom or other relative.

My son is in Division 264 and from TX. He tried calling us Sat. afternoon, but we weren't home!!! He sounded so disappointed in the message he left. :( I feel just horrible. I hope he gets another chance soon. I have been mailing him several cards and letters since we got his mailing address last week, so I hope he at least got those by now.

NavyMomma89 - I spoke to my son on Saturday and he did say they get to call every 9 days so if that stays true you should hear from your son early next week again. So no worries about missing this past call - keep your phone with you. Thanks HockeyMom.

Anyone in this DIV 264 received their form letter yet? It will be 3 weeks Monday and still no letter or form.

Hello, I am so confused. The form letter I got from my daughter said she was in Ship 9, Div 263. Then the first letter I got had a return address of Ship 12, USS Triton, Div 263. So, how can I find out which is correct? I sure would like to her from some other Moms.

I can't speak for Div 263, but I know Div 264 has been changed from Ship 9 to Ship 12, so it sounds like there is a good chance the same thing happend with Div 263. We got a "make up" phone call last night from our son, who missed us on his first attempt to call us the previous weekend, so we were so happy to hear from him. He is doing well, but needs to re-take his first written test. He said he will be calling us tomorrow, Tues., 7/22, so I am thinking perhaps others might be able to make another call then too? I don't know how that works.
