Got a 30 minute around noon yesterday.. Most guys in div 123 has a cold but doing fine! Food is amazingly great. Eating well! Autopilot kick in for him already:)) Passsed swimming but He has room for improvement in his baseline PFA.
. No Cart PI/DMI inspection yet. Cart is phase 1 boot camp and PI stands for personnel inspection while DMI stands for dynamic material inspection. First DEPPER advancement exam is not until this coming week. Division 123 aspiring to earn many competition flags, most importantly the Captain'Cup! It Will not be easy but it's a great motivation and an admirable goal! HOOYAH!!! -

k-love, you got a lot more info than we did. We didn't talk to SR directly. He called his girlfriend. He also had a cold. Evidently, they are having our son help with workouts (he is in very good shape). I guess that is good...no idea. He has become good friends with his bunkmate, but his girlfriend didn't get the friend's name.

..with the help of this site, I had my questions jotted down & asked away when I had a chance, lol! I have been waiting for that call for since he left end of Jan...been sick and hospitalized missing him. A call from him was a medicine I need, true euphoria and I would love to have more of it! I hope you get same call soon too:=)

Sorry you are sick. I'm praying for your healing. I'm so glad you got to talk to your son.

thank U for your concern and prayers..forgot to tell you that it's a good thing for your SR to help with workouts and that he's in great shape. One less thing for him to worry about to earn the FFD release (fit for duty)! Division 123 needs someone like him to lead and help others pass PFA. My SR needs him too. So I thank him/U in advance ((hugs)). Would it be funny if they're bunkmates?
