Hi Everyone!
Got my letter today (2 pages long).!!!! She said she is also (SIQ) sick in quarters. She says everyone at boot camp has been sick. Can anyone tell me what an E-2 is. She said she has been promoted to an E2 and I am not sure what that is . I know I read about that somewhere here. She said this is week 4 for her division. They have person weapons turnover, inspection. She says the other girls call her "Harry Potter" because of the big glassess so if any of your daughters know a Harry Potter there, it is her. Too Funny.Hope everyone SRs are well She also said they might be able to have a phone call next weekend..
God Bless our SRs!

I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter has been so ill also. They have all been so sick. My daughter's last letter is the first one she didn't mention anything about being sick. So I'm hopeful she is on the upswing finally!
I know E2 is the next rank up. I read about it in one of her books from the recruiter. I think it may be Seaman.
I wish your daughter Good luck! Hope they all get better really soon.

I found the info. E-1 is a Seaman Recruit, E-2 is a Seaman Apprentice and E-3 is a Seaman
