Perhaps I am looking at different photos. The pictures I see practicing for PIR is the TG that went through PIR this past Friday. I said black belts I should have said green, that look black in most photos.

:) I was able to see him in 2 pics. It was only because of IPhone has Zoom feature for pics. So that helped me a lot as I zoomed in on everyone to find him. Lol

Hi everyone! Just got a call from Kyle @ 5:25 EST! He says DIV 214 is really doing well! He was moved from Guidon to PFC, which is the flag bearer for the Division - he's the shortest one out of 85 in the division! Love my short son :) He's made several friends: C* is his bunkmate beside him, B*, G*, DS* and S*........Hope I spelled those right :) He says they practiced marching today and is getting used to the 2 minute showers with 85 guys all around...LOL His new glasses are rubbing his nose and he wants his contacts back, but other than that - really happy! They are having a hard time designing the division flag - since the commanders keep nixing the ones they come up with. He's been changed from Engineman to Machinist Mate which is part of the same rating, from what he tells me.....Gotta do some reading about all that now :) Please let me know if you're the mom, g/f, wife of any of the names he gave me! It would be great to connect with those he's becoming buds with!

I don't think my son is one of the names you mention above, my son is in div 214, but I'm estatic to hear that their division is doing well. My son said that they are able to talk quietly before lights out and that the group of guys around him all got along great. My son said that he holds a flag too.
Can't wait to my son again!!!

Moms my SR told me he would be calling Wednesday also. They will get more call priviledges. Maybe they need the encouragement of talking to family like someone said earlier about why some divisions get more calls than others. Anyway, just in case have your phones Wednesday.
