I'm just wondering who the N4Ms are who have SRs in this Division. Hopefully we will be getting mail/calls and can share the information.

My SR's girlfriend has the days counted down to the seconds on her phone timer. I am sure many of you are counting it down as well but maybe not to this extreme. I hope to meet alot of you especially those staying at the Ramada. we should make some type of identfication ribbons so we can all know each other. Like a red rose on a blind date. Something simple that we could all make and that would be easily identified. Maybe some red white and navy ribbons with our ship and div on the ribbons. Or maybe you guys know of something like this already made.

I ordered ribbons from http://uniquememorymakers.com/ which is Lala's business (she is a very helpful navymom on this site.
I'm sure you can make up something similar.

Nancy- Our SR's division has won a bunch of flags from what I understand, he was just excited that that one was the first. I heard they were struggling in the beginning, but according to my SR, the division has really pulled together and is doing a-okay! So proud of every single on of them! They are all working together to make division 215 a great one!

I was sad that I wasn`t able to send him letters yesterday but glad that my 4th of July went better than I`d expected. My heart broke just a little today since I didn`t get a letter.l0l But I kept saying in my head "No news is Good news." :) I`m praying for a phone call tomorrow or SOON! IDK when their BS will be but I just know DIV 215 will do AMAZING! Prayers all around for those in DIVISION 215 we`re literally almost there. 1 WEEK and we`ll have ourselves NEW SAILORS! Enjoy the rest of your week. God Bless.

In one week I will be in Great Lakes at a meet and greet. One week from tomorrow I get to hug my SR. I am crying thinking about it. I didn't realize I could miss someone so much. God bless Div 215!

I am just sitting here at work thinking that if our SRs are doing Battle Stations they will be sailors in an hour! I don't know for sure that they got to do BS on the 5th and 6th, but I sure hope so. Was sad not to get my letter yesterday, hoping it will be in the mail box today.

Starting to think now that they aren't going until next week. Unless their calls are just very delayed today!
