The phone calls always come when I'm out somewhere. Today it was right as I checked my son in at the doctor. So I had to explain to the poor nurse that my husband was calling from bootcamp. Luckily he understood haha because I was not hanging up on my husband.

Is anyone in here named Danika? I know that seems like a weird question but my boyfriend is bunk mates with yours and he asked John to ask me to friend you and I can't find you on fb so I though I would ask in here.

Has anyone heard any more from Ship 12 Div 168? My son's GF said she got some letters today. B said a bunch of the guys are getting kinda sick - runny, stuffy noses, sore throats, etc. I'm hoping for B it's allergy related - he may not be taking his allergy meds.
He also said in the letter than the Div inspections didn't go well. Any idea what that may mean? I'm a bit worried - starting this Thursday 4/14, they should be starting week 4-1. Is this normal for the guys to not be jelling yet?

I don't know what that means? John seemed like everything was going fine in his call last wed and in his letters he seems bored and says there's not much going on there. He actually said he couldn't wait for things to pick up a bit so idk what's going on?

Josh said they were getting a lot of trouble. 40 guys didn't pass the first inspection but when I talked to him on Wednesday they were kind of getting into a groove. They still hadn't earned a division flag yet.

Pat sounded like he had a cold last week when I spoke to him...What is all involved in passing an inspection?
-

Josh was lucky. He hadn't gotten sick yet, just barely got a runny nose when I talked to him haha. I think the way their uniforms are would be involved with their inspections. Maybe how well their boots are shined and stuff.

John said he has passed everything so far on wed when I talked to him. So hopfully he's doing good.

Yea Josh had passed everything except the rack inspection I think. He's doing better than he thought he would haha. I'm so proud of him.
