Hi logaus2, Check out the veteran LaLa Ribbon Queens picture on the PIR Nov. 22, group. She makes them if you want to sport one for your SR, also helps others identify what Div. you are connected with. They're awesome!

Hi ladies, I just posted on the main page but I received a letter from my SR today! He still is not a happy recruit. He says his Division (014) is always getting reprimanded for not doing things correctly. I'm hoping they'll catch on and become the best Division in the ship ! He says he misses being able to go outside. They are cooped up with each other 24/7 and that is probably why they get that crud.
I hope you are all hanging in there. I love to see the days tick down on the digital clock above. Miss my son so much :)

Hi Shesh! I'm glad you heard from your SR! :) Please tell your SR to hang in there, 6 more Fridays and bootcamp will be behind him! Congratulations to all of our SR's for getting through P-Days! They will keep them so busy it will go by faster than they think! (I don't know about it going faster for us lol, but we'll make it too!)
I'm hoping to get a letter tomorrow!
Thank you & You hang in there too!

Hi my son is also in Div 013. We will be attending the meet and greet and will be staying at the Navy Lodge. I am looking forward to meeting with everyone. I love to read everyone's posts as it help to realize that we are all feeling the same and we are all dealing with it in different ways. Through everyone's encouraging words/wisdom I have gained knowledge. That knowledge helps me to feel somewhat connected to my son.
Thank you.!!!
