Well, his letter was dated last Sunday, Sept. 9, and said that Thursday, Sept. 13 would be week 4 day 1, and he said that is when "Hell Week" will begin. So if your son said something else, then I dont know.

Ok--it seems like most of you are 326 moms and there aren't many from 325. However, I think we can assume that their training is in tandem. My SR is not much of a letter-writer. The last letter was 8 sentences. He keeps saying that he doesn't know what to say. Good grief--the kid is on the biggest adventure of his life and is learning a whole new way of looking at the world, and he has nothing to say?!? Truth be told, he just doesn't like writing, I think. (whine over)
ANYWAY...he said that he got a 5.0 on a recent test, but didn't mention what it was. Any ideas what test that might have been, anyone? Supposedly he gets 2 extra phone calls because of the score, but he said he doesn't know when he'll have time to make them.
thanks,

Most everyone from Div 325 is a member on the Cardinal Company 2012 group and that is where we post most of our comments, so if you haven't joined, please do. (I think I remember reading that you're Cardinal Company.)

Insurance Question
According to his recruiter, once RTC starts I can take SR off my health insurance. However, this is proving to be nearly impossible.
First they wanted proof that he was in fact in the Navy. I had no proof except an empty bed and a form letter. Recruiter sent his contract.
not good enough
They want a copy of his insurance card.
I am so frustrated.
How on earth is he going to get that to me? It's not like he can just run to a fax machine or computer and scan it.
Has anyone else run into this? What did you do?
I sure don't want to pay to insure him until open enrollment in January! (insurance is expensive!)
