Sorry to hear you missed his call.  But heck it's almost...ALMOST worth it since he left a voice msg that you can replay when you just want/need to hear his voice. Good luck on the rest of his qualifiers/tests!!

Hi Chris,
It stinks that you missed his call. I too got one while at work around 1400. Hey, I guess the call when they can. Outstanding news that their division is coming together as one and that they are winning flags. That is awesome! And yes, time does fly. It will be no time untill you are telling your new sailor goodbye for their flight to A school. I just did the same for my Son 10 days ago. 8 more weeks and we will be traveling again. A bit of good news for you is that you will be able to give your Son his phone and/or laptop after PIR. Then, you should be able to communicate with him after his day's duty slot. My Son advised that he is actually having fun now, and is looking forward to learning the hands on part if his selected rate. Who knows, with their newfound unit cohesiveness, another earned phone call may be just around the corner!

Sorry to hear of the missed call Chris.  Glad your son and Division are excelling.  I'll have to be even more on the alert for a phone call.  My son is in Ship 2, Division 904 so hope they are doing as well as your sons. I'm with you man...23 days left!  I just am crossing my fingers that the weather won't mess up my travels to his PIR. I don't care how long the snow or storm might keep me in GL after PIR...I just want to make it to PIR on time! Continued success to the SRs.
