Hi Lauren,

I am from San Diego, my boyfriend is also in that division. He has pretty much told me the same things, especially that they are getting a lot of IT because they talk too much.

Haha! funny!

I got a letter from my son Nick last night. He said they were allowed to freely fold their clothes and shine their boots for 6 hours Christmas Day! What a treat! There is snow on the ground and he would love to slide in it but unfortunately they can only march through it. They have a thing called snow watch where if the snow gets too heavy, two people from each division go outside and shovel the sidewalk. But it hasn't been snowing hard enough to warrant a call which he seems to regret. they received their dress blues, dress whites, and got fitted for a beautiful peacoat! anyone has stories to share?

got a letter from my son on Thursday, he's doing well.  says it's starting to get easier, cause their all starting to work really well as a team, and he is really enjoying what they are doing.  wants to know who's mom's I'm in this group with, so he can see if he is friends with their sons. and probably let them know the Mom's are conversing.  LOL, love my son, and miss him much, but can't wait to see him at PIR.  will be sending my letter out on Monday, and my son's last name is Diaz..guess they all go by last names there.  makes it easier, probably.

Hello everyone, quick question what video is everyone talking about?

The recruits can order a DVD of the graduation ceremony when they place their picture order. It's a great memento and something you can show other family members that make it to PIR.
