I got a letter today also. My son said they are starting to come together as a group because they are tired of failing LOL. I told him the same thing you did Heather. Keep your head down, worry about what you are doing and let the ones that can't seem to get it together do that on their own. I know they get in trouble as a team, but I told him to just suck it up and make sure you do what is right LOL. He sounded good in his letter though.

I'm really in need of a call too. I have not got one at all. I think he was part of the sick group that did not get to call home the time the others did. Sucks. You would think that the ones that missed calls would get make-up ones. Guess not. I'll just hope he's next letter comes quick.

I didn't get any letters about this yet. I believe (I could be wrong) that anyone who was asmoed would be able to call home to let the family know. I would say at this point that no news is good news if you haven't gotten a call about that. I understand they can be asmoed for quite a few reasons. Let's pray for our SRs that they just make it through this.

Ok, so now I'm a little bit more worried. I haven't heard anything from my son in a long time. I just called his recruiter, and he said that if they are asmoed, we and he would get a call. He also said that my son is still in John F Kennedy, 09/323. And if they where asmoed, their ship would change and they wouldn't be in Kennedy. I wish I could get a call or a letter. Has anyone been on the facebook site trying to win a picture of our div?

Thank you for the up dates. My son is in 09/323 and was part of the group that was sick(walking pneumonia).

Go to facebook, search US Navy Recruit Training Command, Like it, you can follow and ask questions of the RTC. Every Mon. they post a mixed up picture, on Tues. is a trivia question about bc. If you are the first one to identify the picture and the trivia question, they will take a picture of your SR's div and put your SR up front. That day! You can also look back at the pics that have already been taken. 323 hasn't gotten one taken yet, but im hoping that everyone will try from our div.
