Good Sonday morning yall! Dont forget to post also on the regular site and not just here. Yes right now the guys are being yelled at and are sleep deprived.. It will stay that was for about 4 more weeks. Then it changed... the smart arses who are causing trouble will being to stop causing it... they will start to work as a SPEC OPS team and the RDCs will lighten up on them somewhat! B was a stick (carried a flag at PIR) because he was a group leader. You kids will writed home and tell you about their jobs... Starboard watch, corpsman, etc etc... so they actually have duties while there.

All I've gotten was the form letter. I haven't received any other letters or phone calls. It doesn't sound like too many have gotten anything from this division.

I was told by my sons recruiter that spec ops are treated differently from other divisions. They are harder on them and stricter. I'm just hoping their RDC is one of the nicer ones even though they are supposed to be tougher on them. My sons friend went to BC 2 months ahead of my son and we didn't hear anything from him for 4 weeks. I'm hoping we don't have to wait THAT long......Has anybody been told that this group will most likely be grad n go? My sons recruiter told us this before he left. He said it would be very unlikely that he would stay long after graduation. He said it is typical for spec ops to be gng...anywhere from a couple of hours to a few hours...he didn't say anything about going to the airport to see them so I am so grateful for Lydia's stories and information about that..:-)
