How many SRs are typically in a division? Are the SRs randomly selected for each division?

What is a SR? My daughter mentioned she had been "volunteered" to be the ship's yeoman...something about not messing up too bad in the first 24 hrs earned her this "privilege" Sent out my first letter and now waiting for her first. I figure by next Monday and then next week maybe a phone call. The first call I got from my son from basic in the AF was a tearful mess on his part...he was homesick and miserable. I'm hoping her first call will be more positive...Another day down..:) Does anyone know if they are in week 2 or week 3 on the Basic training schedule. I was wondering if they had taken their first PT test yet. My son got held back one week for push ups, hopefully my daughter doesn't have that problem...

Got my first letter today. She seems to be doing fine. Just wishes everyone in her unit would stop talking so they don't get in trouble. They've gotten in trouble twice for people talking..Looking forwards to writing her back..Trouble means sit ups push ups for all...doesn't matter who was or wasn't talking or doing any other thing they will find to pick on them about...this too will pass...

When did your SR write her letter. Got mine today too but she wrote it on 2/18. I wonder if she wrote early and just held it to mail. She didn't mention too much about PT or anything . Hope I get another one soon. She didn't mention about getting in trouble either.

Hey everyone...... Just wondering what date your SR wrote their letter? Mine wrote on 2/18 but didn't mail until 2/27. Does anyone know what week-day they are on?

I got my letter 2/28/12. Can't read the postmark, and the letter isn't dated. She writes that "today is Sunday", so it must have been written on the 26th. She also says the first training week started Friday, 2/24. That would be training week 1, day 1 (1:1). She also writes about having to do "some serious P.T." because of the talkers.
