Waited and anticipated, but I never got a call from my SR. Anybody know if the entire ship and division got to call? My SR is in the female half of the group.

That's so special! I would love to have one, and will wear it proudly. I plan on attending a meet and greet, but not sure which one.

I haven't received a letter this week either. What a clever idea to write from a different perspective! My daily routine is beginning to sound... well, awfully routine.

Hi ladies!! Received a letter from my SR yesterday-- for those of you who didn't get a letter, I will share some of mine :)
He has been writing after TAPS (which he says is "time for sleep"-- not sure what the acronym is) so I got a lot more letters than last week! He sounds a lot stronger than in his last letter and since I talked to him on the phone. He says that talking to me on the phone last week was "the worst phone call ever" because it only made him miss me more. He said that he was in the top 7 out of like 80 people to get a 4.7 out of 5.0 on their first test. He also passed his first PFA (he was on LLD when they took it early last week and didn't know if he'd get to make it up when I talked to him on the phone last Thursday)-- he got promoted to E-2 and is psyched about that! They got "jar head" hair cuts-- says they don't look "too bad" lol...He keeps says that the division isn't working together and they are very chatty so they keep getting IT. They lost the privilege of using the curtains on the stalls, so apparently they are all getting very comfortable with going to the bathroom next to each other! He mentioned a few of the guys he is friends with (not sure if I can say their names on here???) He also asked that I tell him the names of some of the people I know from his division on here to see if he knows any your sons/boyfriends/husbands.
I'm so happy for him-- he seems so much happier than a week ago :)

I wish we had a Facebook group set up for our division-- now that the RTC Facebook site doesn't have the forum or wall to chat, it's hard to share that information...

This is not a sarcastic question in any way...but since I don't FB I don't understand the difference. Could you explain the differences that you see between FB Forums and the PIR group Main Wall/Divisional Discussions on N4M's?
I would really like to understand since this has been mentioned before. Thank you!
We want you to be able to share and discuss things...

FTLW: The groups on FB are private and you can post more information than you can here. Plus you can send messages to multiple people at once. Just another venue :)
CT Sailor on has been set up I will post the link when I get home unless someone beats me to it.

Got it...thanks!

It's just much easier to connect with people from your division (there are tons of people on who visit the FB RTC site who do not visit or post on N4M's). It is also good for knowing the last names of others in your SR's division and sharing pictures of your SR
