What is your least favorite food at Boot Camp? The Club Spinach – salty, foul, horrible texture.

Do you have choices or do you have to eat what they give you? You get 2 or 3 main dish choices and 2 or 3 side dish choices. Then go by the salad
bar which has a bunch of stuff.

Do you get to drink sodas or just milk, water and juice? Sugar free sodas, milk, water, juice, tea, hot chocolate, coffee and flavored water.

Are you getting enough to eat? Probably too much, actually. I’m
gonna diet.

Comment by Dana - Ship 11 / Div 361 on December 22, 2010 at 10:56pm: Congrats Fawn!!!

Comment by Fawn-Jordyn's Mom on December 22, 2010 at 10:29pm: Got another letter today! I race to the mailbox each day in hopes that I will see something from her!

Comment by Marissasmom(Ship03 Div360) on December 22, 2010 at 10:01pm: Doesn't look good for Div 55, I got a letter today, says division is fighting and not coming together very well, mainly due to egos.. I hope they get on the same page soon! They only have 36 more days to go.

Comment by diannep on December 22, 2010 at 8:53pm: Sherry: No, I don't think Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years count as training days...That is what made it so much longer for my son to stay there...all of the holidays.

Comment by SherryYmom Ship 07 DIV 055 on December 22, 2010 at 4:38pm: Thanks so much everyone! That clears that up for me! I did send the questionaires and I think one of them ask what day it was in their division. I will see what that says. Great info Diannep!!! I am assuming Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day do not count as well.....

Comment by SherryYmom Ship 07 DIV 055 on December 22, 2010 at 4:32pm: He didn't say, but I will ask in my next letter! =-) He said that because the divisions were not "gelling" they missed their two week call and may not be able to call again until after Battle Stations". I still believe in miracles and maybe...just maybe....we might get a Christmas call and I will ask him then. I know that is wishful thinking, but wouldn't that be amazing!!!!! I will let you know what he says about that test.

Comment by Audra (Ship07Div056) PIR 1/28/11 on December 22, 2010 at 4:29pm: i got a letter today! he said some of the kids are really messing up here so they held the letters for 3 days, they were supposed to get the 2nd phone call on the 16th but it got revoked. its possible they could earn it back. When he wrote this on the 16th so the 17th was Day 3-1. So christmas eve would be 4-1! 6 kids failed the first test =( There are three stages of boot camp. They are done with the first and started with the 2nd stage on the 13th.

Thats the update on 056!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 22, 2010 at 4:06pm: Sherry, did your son say how they did as a division (on average) on their first test? That is probably one of the biggest accomplishments an EPO can boast about.
