Hello! 38 Days to go and 5 Fridays (or those counting Fridays only) I heard from my SR for the very first time yesterday, They are on week 2, day #2 today 10-28-2014. I'm so relieved that I found this site, and grateful for such support and great information provided. Praying for my SR and all of those not only in 904, but to all who have enlisted to protect our country. May they all remain strong, courageous, and pass to become SAILORS!! Blessing to everyone. Enjoy your day.

My son is Ship 2 DIV 904. Got our first letter today. I miss him so much. Halloween is a big deal around here and it has been so hard to work on our display without him.

My SR is in ship 2 div 904 as well, got my first phone call on Saturday got 9 minutes, then the first 6 letters arrived this past Thursday and he called yesterday! Glad there doing good, he said some of the guys are questioning their higher ups and it's lots of ITE but hopefully they figure things out. :]

If anyone is staying at the Residence Inn Chicago Waukegan/Gurnee , I have reached out to this hotel and its been approved that we are allowed to use removable mounting putty only to hang your banner on the exterior side of your hotel room door in celebration of your NEW SAILOR!! I have plenty to share with you! Thanks!

My last call was Halloween as well, although I've been getting letters every thursday and sometimes my SR will write a bunch on Sunday. He usually writes at night because he has trouble sleeping so maybe your SRs are just getting lots of rest! :] I'm already writing 2/3 letters a day and he wants more o.o But they just finished Hell Week according to the calendar my SR drew up for me. He said easy cruis for the weeks to come now. So hopefully you all will get letters! He didn't mention when the next phone call may be but he called his mother a couple days ago to get her email for the adopt a sailor since they were late sending the forms out. Did everyone else get an email?
