Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

richsmom, Sounds like my son...man of few words, but positive words say an awful lot! I'm happy that you got a letter! I agree with you on being discreet....good idea, I usually only share a tidbit anyway! : )

OK Worth the wait. We just received the most informative letter to date. Don't get too excited. My son is a man of few words. But this letter is very positive. He says they did really well on their personal inspections and weapons turnover inspection. (whatever that is) The best in their grad group. They still have a chance for Hall of Fame which means they beat every division in every inspection or test which doesn't happen that often and he believes would be really cool. So do I. :)
FYI ladies Maybe we should be a little more discreet in what we say on the site. Big brother is watching. Read between the lines.
