I got mine yesterday as well! Just seeing his handwriting brought tears to my eyes! He said that the first week was pretty rough, not the PT but the mental part of it. He said that this week was going much smoother! I had to laugh when he said that he couldn't poop :) I remember my oldest son having the same problem there because of the food. 42 days!! Woohoo...Div 293!!

Integrated divisions do train together, and don't worry too much about the "troubles". They have just started training and right now it is very common to hear the divisions is having issues. No worries...About training week four things seem to turn around for them all. The females seem to have a few more personality conflicts with each other, but this too will pass, I promise. :)

Hello, my daughter is in DIV 293. I got her letter and a phone call from her yesterday. She said the girls keep getting into trouble and she is getting frustrated. I spoke to her for 4 minutes (I checked my phone). She is home sick but doing well.
