I agree with "Where is the other thread?" I am looking for info too and have to find it generically through other divisions. Maybe we all can try to keep this group going. My daughter writes me weekly. She has said that she passed the firearms and been talking to me about the normal basic training activities. I have not heard of any calls coming through yet. Has anyone else?
Is everyone got their reservations for that weekend?

FYI - Our SR said they have earned all of the flags but one, the athletic flag. He said they are the first division in 100 who have not been able to earn this flag (Bummer)!
