I got a letter today! I was worried I wouldn't get one. I guess Pres. Day did push it off a day. He said last week was Marlin Spike and 087 got a perfect score! The brother division was talking smack and had to do IT for getting beat by our SRs! Way to go 087! Hooyah! Next week is the gas chamber and firefighting. Week 6 is BS21. Do we get the "I'm a sailor" call after battle stations?
Things he misses most: Family, friends, his dog Gus, Music, Cell phone, good looking babes, and being able to NOT make his bed.
Ahhhhh, it was so good to get a letter.

ME 2 ME 2 letter!!! Talked about the Marlin Spike and 087 ROCKED!!!! He thought maybe they would be able to call again for doing good but he wrote that on Feb 14th. It still may come through. Looks like they had a lot of inspections and test. He called it HEL_ week which was the Feb 18th. Did good on the personal insp and weapon turnover. He said it might not get to write only one letter cause he need to devote time to sleep and study!! I NEVER thought I would hear him say the word study!! In high school, he'd read something one time and if he got it he got it. But he did grad with honors. He has grown up! Thanks mom for all the info. My SR is not forth going on the info this time!!! When he wrote on Feb 18th it was the 4-1. They must really be pushing them if this is the case!

Your SRs gave up so much information. I am so going to kick mine in the butt for not telling me more. They have made such progress these past weeks. So proud of all of them....

I got a letter on Friday and he told me how they kicked butt at Marline Spike. Last week was "hell week" but this week should be their final training days before Battlestations 21.
It's all downhill from here ladies. 19 DAYS to go! Have a great week everyone:)

I hope everyone is doing great! It's been quiet. We are in the teens on the countdown! Less than 3 weeks! I went out shopping to look for something "nautical", but didn't find anything. I may stick with the red, white, and blue I wore to my oldest son's Air Force Basic Training graduation last year.
Thinking about you and all our SRs.

Got another too. My SR was a down in this letter. Wasn't expecting this. It is hard to hear when they are down and you can't do anything about it. We just tell him to trust in God. Has a mother you all know we want to do more. All of the 087 is in God's hands! I pray for each of them for God to give them strength through HIM and those who don't know HIM will come to know HIM!! Everyone have a Great Day. ONLY 18 more days and this one has already started!!

What date was your son's letter? I think last week was very tough on them. Our guys are very strong!! Your next letter or PHONE CALL will be much better:)

Morale has to be picking up this week. Just you wait! I know that the letter we received on Friday the 23rd, dated the 19th, mentioned the "Ice Cream Party" aka "I scream Fest" that Div. 087 and 088 got to experience. I think it was an effort to bring them all together one last time to get those last few on board. The message was to give all, not just some. I think you could dub it as "the final beat down." Now, I think it is a matter of building them up and making them proud. And y'all know how proud we are. And if you are proud now... you just wait! You will have goose bumps, and you will need tissues, but you will be smiling!
Stay strong, stay positive, stay smiling!
PS- Pretty soon the ticker is going to say 17 days!!!!!
