My son is also in the same division. I know they are teamed up with div 377 but I haven't noticed too many on this page in 378. Have you been noticing other recruits families from 378?

Have any idea how far along their divisions are? I'm trying to figure out where my hubby is in his training approximately. I don't know how to figure it out exactly....or maybe you can't tell until they write or call?

I'm so proud of my son, and my God is always true. His father & I are divorced so I didn't get the message first hand, so please forgive me if I don't have the terminology or all the proper info. But here's the long story short. I am very faithful, my son decided not to be confirmed (we're Roman Catholic) but went to a Catholic HS, at this time he denounced his faith all together. Yes this broke my heart but I continued to pray! Needless to say the ONLY thing my son brought with him was a Bible. I bought him a "Navy" Bible and he was so impressed that it was engraved... now come to find out they put him in charge of getting all the recruits to chapel & it was said to me the "religious" group! Praise God!
PS if anyone knows the proper terminology please let me. know!
