We are staying at the Navy lodge. I think that I heard something about additional clearance paperwork to stay there though, does any one know what I am talking about and what I need to do about it?

We are staying at the Navy Lodge also. I called, the person who took the reservation asked for my SRs first and last name and his PIR date. She didn't say I needed anything else. I hope we don't need anything else.

I got my first letter from my son last night! (Div 327). I was very excited. He said that there are around 14 people SIQ (sick in quarters) right now. They had their first test friday and their overall divisional scores weren't great - 5 people failed and the their average was 3.95 out of 5.0 - they need a 4.0 or higher to get the academics flag, and he didn't feel too hopeful that the SIQ's could get them where they need to be. They have their week 4 PFA (physical fitness assessment ) this week and he is hoping that they will get over a 4.0 for a flag in PT. He says that a couple of the RDC's have been a bit tough on them and telling them how they are disappointed in them and know they are better - I guess that's how it goes in bootcamp. I think my son felt badly about it because one of those RDCs had been very encouraging to them the prior week. They are half way there - I'm looking forward to seeing him in 4 weeks!

Good morning fellow Division 327/328 family members: Any one know if there are and SR that aren't getting many/no letters from home? My brother is going thru and I know he is getting lots and would like to help encourage others who may not be getting as much support from home!!!
