Awesome on getting letters this week Nicks mom. I spoke to my sons friend who just graduated BC two months ago I think and he said sometimes they hold their mail. Can be for any number of reasons. But they will get it.
LET'S GO 344. Praying for our DIV and for the entire PIR 10/15 -

Does anyone know how our SRs are doing? I was just on another DIVs discussion and they are doing crazy good, getting flags and priviledges........haven't really heard much from my recruit. Says they are really busy now and he is tired. I want a call or a letter (guess I'm having withdrawl). Cant wait till Oct 15!

Hey ladies..,.
Just wondering if anyone has heard any news that you might wanna share about our sailors!! I got two letters last week, my son seems to be in great spirits, he did however say that they were doing alot of inspections and tests, so it was gonna start getting hectic as they test for graduation....I know they will all be disappointed if something keeps them from graduating on the 15th.
Hugs to everyone....I miss my son so much, and would just about do anything for a phone call!! :o) -

Not much on the whole DIV, but a little piece of info you may not know about: My hubby said they had a guy housing with them (I guess he got held back from his DIV graduation) but he tried to commit suicide, I think he may have tried to overdose on pills or something. Hubby also said the guy had scabbies. Has anyone else heard anything on this? I'm sure he got sent home though after "trying" to commit suicide. I know if you have ANY mental issues whatsoever, you are a goner, Bye bye Military..

I have not heard anything! My son does not write much and when he does, he does not mention anything about how he is doing. He does make smiley faces though....I'm so glad to hear that you boy is in good spirits though. I wish I knew who my son's bunkmate was or knew if he had a friend. If I do hear anything, Nicksmom, I will let you know.
