Anyone from ship 11 DIV 298 receive a phone call or mail yet?
I received the first phone call and the form letter.
I've written him every day since then.

No call yet.. only the form letter.

I don't want a call yet to be perfectly honest. I want to wait until they are in the groove, and it hear that doesn't happen until sometime after the second week. I mailed him stamps but don't expect him to write. And actually, I have to go back to the files to find out how to get him a phone card!

Ship 11 Div 298  I received and unscheduled phone call this morning.  So good to hear from my daughter.  She is very homesick and wants pictures of home, the dogs, and us.  She said that training is going well, but that her group is having trouble coming together as a team.  She has made a couple of friends which is good.  She also thanked me for teaching her how to iron and make her bed, it has really helped her.

I got a call today mom karen, my son is also ship 11 Div 298.  He also misses us, but it is also having trouble with the training and trying to fit in.  Hopefully they will start to gel as a team soon.

Also received a call yesterday! Ship 11 Div 298. She says the division is behind schedule, and having some problems as well. Very homesick and on pain meds from dental work. 

My daughter is in this division and we got a call yesterday. It was short  but wonderful to hear her voice.  No mail yet.  She stated she hadn't received our letters yet. Hoping you got a call also.  Hang in there.

I received my first letter today.  So excited :)

Hi Goochy - no phonecall or mail yet from my son.  I am hoping for this weekend maybe.

I did receive the form letter last weekend. 

Does anyone know what week they are going into?  I'm thinking it's only week 2, but it seems like longer.
