That is good to know. I hope they do that for this one as well.
Coming up with a way to recognize each other a great idea! I had wondered too, since a lot of people don't use their names, or use pictures how we would recognize each other.
A scarf sounds like a good way. I don't have one, but could get one. Anyone want to? Or something different?

We have a disagreement in our house. The guy right behind the RCPO. You can only see his cheekbone and ear, lol. His dad and I think that is him - but his hair/complexion isn't as dark as it appears there...could be the lighting. It's a cheekbone and ear match though!. His older brother says no way. I was convinced...now I'm wavering. Guess we'll have to save the pic and ask him at BC!

I love the picture! Thanks for finding it. I was looking so hard at the ear of the person in the middle row. COULD that be my son's ear???? ; ) The article was informative, too.
Also, my son had a sinus infection and wrote that he was out of PT for 2 days, but felt much better. Maybe he's one of the ones other recruits were talking about getting sick. I got a letter yesterday and he said he can't believe that July 1st is so soon. Also, that security will be quite tight. -

Anyone know when BattleStations are for this division? They can go next Thurs/Fri, the following Sun/Mon, or Tues/Wed. They are the only division missing from the BattleStations schedule in the BattleStations discussion group. Please let me know and I will add them.

Rec'd a letter. They are very busy. He listed off several things coming their way and battlestations was one of them, but he did not mention details or dates.

Hello! I wanted to throw something out there to see what you all think. You can tell me if you think I am being over cautious. I heard of an SR from our division getting in trouble for something seemingly innocent that was posted here. That being said, I know that the RTC Facebook site has posted that they don't want anyone posting the actual date of a division's battlestations. Also, Angie, who works at the A school in Great Lakes, and is a member of our group, has also mentioned that we should not be posting dates for battlestations. I know the "veterans" of N4M disagree, but since it came directly from the RTC, I feel like we should comply. Maybe there is a more private way for us to communicate it to each other? Can we send each other private messages? I think we need to add each other as friends first but I'm willing to do that, if you all are.
What do you think?
