My daughter is in Ship 03 Division 056. Wow you have one in Marines & one in Navy. Very impressive. My daughter left for BC on 11/28/11 so she has a ways to go yet. She had 2 weeks of processing, for some reason, so this week was her 1st week of training.

That's interesting. So are the boys and girls mixed for training? I guess they are in the same ship anyway.
I did hear that 55 and 56 are brother divisions and do the battleship stations together so I guess they do train together.
It's great to meet some from the same ship.

There are boys and girls on the same ship. But it is not coed. The girls are one floor and the boys are on another floor.

That would be great if they got to call home. Our Marine son will be home so they could talk to each other too. We will stick close to the phone too and try not to get our hopes up too high. Thanks for the heads up.
