I'm just wondering who the N4Ms are who have SRs in this Division. Hopefully we will be getting mail/calls and can share the information.

Hey Division 215 family - - just got a letter from my SR. He was gearing up for this week -- 4 inspections and 2 tests. He said the first inspectation is anwering questions verbatim. He said they were still having trouble with drill -- telling their left from their right, but feeling better at attention and parade rest. They are still doing a bunch of IT (intensive training) and PT. It's a distraction from the stress and worry to get letters from us -- so keep them coming! I hope we get calls this week so we can give them encouragement!

I got my letter today too :) I actually found myself stalking the mailman today.l0l It was only a few (2) letters because he said that they are really busy preparing for this week and for the next. "Make or break" week for them so he says they`ll be super busy, although he did say that they are having trouble as a division. But I know that they will pull it together come BS21! ^_^ I`m so proud of my SR and all of DIV 215. Praying for calls. God Bless.

We got a letter too (FINALLY!!) My SR said they are all still coughing with colds and now pink eye is running rampant through the division. He said he's passed all of his inspections so far - yeah! And that he tied for highest score on the academic test. He says they are doing a lot of running in full gear. 21 days till I start my long journey across country!

My SR never mentioned anything about sickness I guess cause he doesn`t want me to worry. I`m gonna ask him if he is or not in my next letter. He says that they are doing a lot of ironing and making their bunks. I know that they did good. NikiH Congrats to your SR for scoring highest score :D DIVISION 215 is doing better. Praying on a speedy recovery for our division and for all those who are sick. On a good note, 21 more days and I can finally breathe.l0l God Bless.

These past few weeks have been very difficult for this empty - nester mom. My SR is our youngest son and we miss him considerably. Thanks to your posts I have learned a lot that he has left out of his letters to us. Sounds like some of your SR's have left out some info too. My SR has a girlfriend who he writes detailed information and his father and I get the updates from her. I am looking forward to reading more about your SR's and perhaps we can meet in IL.

cllutch55mom your house must seem very empty! My SR had moved to Denver and enlisted from there. It's difficult not being able to pick up the phone and hear his voice! This is a great site and I have learned so much and it's been wonderful to be able to communicate with others in the same situation. We will definately be in IL! Can't wait! Wednesday is our day to get a letter and I'm hoping to learn how hell week went for Div 215.

I got 2 letters today :) I`m so thankful since I was only expecting 1 from him due to it being Hell week last week. He says that he is so thankful that he made it through. Division 215 made it through HELL WEEK! YAYYY! I`m so proud of him and the whole Division 215. He also said that he was SIQ due to both his wisdom teeth being pulled. He`s better now and with only 2 more weeks left the excitement is kicking in. We can do it DIV 215! Keep up the encouraging letters we`re halfway through!!!! ^_^ God Bless.
