Repost in case you are not a part of the FB page: Got to talk to my son(div 338) for almost 25 minutes - he was going to call his GF too! He and one SR from div 337 (sorry i was so excited I forgot to get his name) got an hour to spend in Recruit Heaven today as a reward. They were the only 2 recruits out of both divisions to get a perfect score on the last academic test! My son also got perfect scores on the last uniform inspection and weapon turnover inspection... He was in such a great mood! He said that. Div 338 is doing great! They have earned a pennant on their division flag and can now march on RTC without their RDC's with them and can sing all the fun cadences! He said they have earned all flags possible so far. They didn't earn the scholastic flag after the first academic test but scored so well on the second one as a division they earned it. He said they got their dress uniforms back from the tailor and will have inspections in them this week. Hoping that they will all get phone calls this week because they are doing so well.

Hello group. My Son is Ship 03, Div 337, PIR on 9/6/13. We are driving 19+ hours from northern NH to attend. Staying in Waukegan at the Super 8 (not a great hotel, but in the budget). Planning on attending Sarge's Meet & Greet, hoping to meet some wonderful people I've met on Facebook and new people from here!
