Anjelina...have you checked your inbox lately? I sent you an answer to the "is your son named Mike" (it's not) question, but never heard back from you. Since then, I have talked to my son and gotten another letter with more info. I am almost certain
you are the person my son is telling me to contact. If you haven't checked your inbox, please do! :-)

Good morning! Woke up this morning praying for our group. They had a PFA test this morning. I think they also had one Monday morning, if I understood my son's letters correctly. They are coming to the close of "hell week", and I am sure that we are all relieved, though not as much as they are!!! My son told me he would likely be too busy and too tired to write me this week, so I'm really not looking for a Tuesday or Thursday letter. I hope all of you were encouraged with your letters this week. Can't wait to read the one written this coming Sunday....*after* they've survived the week! Hope everyone has a great Friday!

OK....double checked my son's letter and realized I was wrong about the PFA test. It was Monday morning. They had a written test today, I believe. I know they are probably all exhausted by now. If they can just get through tomorrow, Sunday will bring some rest for them. I am guessing it will be a special experience to be there for the 4th of July.

I hope the RDC's will take them out to see the fireworks. Supposed to be a big three day celebration there. My son said it was a rumor that they would let them and he was praying it was true.

Has anyone heard whether they have gone through Battle Stations yet? It is only 2 weeks away and I have no idea how well my son is doing and should I plan on going to Great Lakes on the 22nd. The last letter said he and a few others had to stay behind and clean while the rest went shooting. That sounds like he was in trouble. He also said they were going to have their drill test today but seemed concerned on how well the division would do. Also he told me about the facebook picture of the division marching but he wasn't in it. I wonder why. Any ideas. I feel I am lacking so much information and would appreciate more details. Thank you.
