Got a call on Christmas Eve and asked that very question and my son said he thought fire arms this week. He said the divisions are doing good but it tends to be more like some day's they're right on and do awesome and then some and other days not so much and it's those days he said it's for "stupid stuff" --- making beds and the sort because they don't spend a lot of time drilling that in the last few weeks, so when they have a newbie come in who's only been in the division a week and that's all they drill, the newbie tends to get it right while the ones who've been there half their time already are a little lax. It was kinda funny listening to him tell the story. He says there's still a bunch that are challenging to the entire division and they're doing what they can, but not so sure what's going to happen for them. He didn't elaborate what it was they were being difficult wtih....whether it's just that they have behavior issues or struggling with passing things, but he did say they're still an issue.
He had his wisdom teeth out. they told him at his evaluation that he'd have two out and then he got there and they decided oh hey let's take them all. He's had some snafu's with effectiveness in the medical part, but all in all he's doing better and better each time I talk to him. Says he doesn't care about anything but graduating, sooooooooooooooooo here's hoping ladies!!!

My son is in 03 064 and he says there are still a few who can't keep their mouths shut. He is ready for graduation and to get into his A school Not much longer, only 17 shopping days left :)

Mine hasn't been willing to elaborate specific details, but he seemed to have a doubtful tone in his voice regarding the ones who are causing trouble in the division.....meaning they've tried to work with them and judging by the tone in his voice he doesn't sound very hopeful for them.
17 more days....WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!

Hi Everyone! I'm new here and my son is in Ship 03 Div 063! I'm glad that everything I've read here is the same as what I've heard from him during our calls. Christmas Eve is the last time I've heard from him. I hope all is going well with all of them and I'm counting down the days until graduation!
Btw..he's headed to Pensacola after graduation for IT!

I talked to my son this evening, only because he needed some additional references for his background check! I was happy nevertheless!! ;-) He's in Div 063 and said they are scheduled for their pfa test, battle station and other tests next week. I think its cutting it close to the graduation date, but maybe the weather has something to do with it

thanks for the info! I haven't heard from my SR since Christmas day. I was hoping to hear a little about how much time he might get to spend with us after graduation and before he goes on to Cali. I have heard most everyone gets a few hours..I hope...I did get a letter that said they rocked their simulated fire. He was really excited. about it and hoping they did just as good in the real one, which was the next day. Our men are almost through boot camp! oh and he said the RDCs have been happy with them. He hoped that lasted too. :)
