I was just wondering what the boys are doing today...
I think my son told me that they were taking the swim test today. Does anyone know what they have in store this week? I feel more connected if I have an idea.
Thanks!
My son told me that Monday was the swimming certification, Tuesday is the Personal Fitness Assessment (PFA) and Friday is the first dress inspection. Other than that, he didn't know what they were doing...and Marching...and Marching...and Marching...
That's really good to know because my son doesn't always do that good of a job of paying attention.
Someone had shared this link before. It's kind of a run down of what this particular SR went through and what the bootcamp schedule was like. Since our SRs are in a push division, this schedule my change a bit. I know Thursday is supposed to be the dental day for having dental work done, or at least that is what my husband had said. I have been saying extra prayers for all of them for the swim test! Hoping that they all passed it!

I will also post this on the FB page as well!
I've heard that if a recruit doesn't pass a test he's allowed a call home. So hopefully no news is great news!
I'll be praying for your husband on Thursday. I heard of one other recruit having the same procedure as your husband and he did well and was happy for the couple of days rest he got.
wow amazing to find this group. my husband Is on div 906 as well, I got my husbands letter as well. so happy!
thank you for the info. we will definitely keep in touch. :)
Does anyone have a son in division 906 from Atlanta named Jonathan? My son asked me to adopt him on Thanksgiving day when I come to pick him up.
