Hey, everyone! I actually don't have a recruit in these divisions but I do have something to say about DIV 311. My husband had his PIR today and I was waiting for him for his liberty call to come by the NEX and I saw a division marching by. I just wanted to let you all know that it was DIV 311 and they looked really good (: you guys should be proud of your recruits! They looked fabulous (;

Another letter!
Like many of you has posted-he says the division is doing great but he is shocked by that since they still aren't a full team. Says there is a lot of IT for 'loud talking'. By now they have made it through gas chamber...almost done!!!!!

Hello,
The last letter I got was a week ago, My son said that they were Live fire shooting last week and were getting their uniforms back from the tailor. Not much else. They found out their jobs (rate) last week too.
Only 9 days left! I should get a letter tomorrow and I think "the" call on thursday or friday.
