Oh I would love to be a fly on the wall too! Although this son was pretty good about things. What I really wish was that I could send my 14 year old to bc. He is a good kid just a slob. Never picks anything up, always throwing his dirty clothes in the floor, never makes a bed or cleans a thing. He does fold clothes but that is only because I make him. lol Hope everyone has a good day! See ya tonight!!!!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm sure the SR's are doing the countdown, too. Wednesday is usually the day we receive a letter so it's almost here. Hoping we all get letters this week! Have a great day everyone!

I bet youa re overwhelmed with excitment! So many good things happening for you all at once. Does your daughter have someone that can come and stay with her while you are gone? I used to work in L&D and know how hard it can be after a section. I too am so excited about getting my "sailor" call. I will be traveling to so I hope and pray there aren't any dead spots! Hope you are having a great day!

Guys, not 100% sure but I think that new FB pic is our division. Looks exactly like my son when I zoom in. He's close to the camera. Either that or he has a long lost Navy twin out there. I could be wrong, but if ya'll might want to take a look to see if your kiddo or hubby is one of them. The eyes! It's all in the eyes! (LOL cause that's all you can see). Here's to letters and calls and new babies!!

Maureen the pic is on our main PIR 10/1 page. I printed the picture big on our super duper printer at work and it is him. No doubt.

That's exciting MtnMom62! We received a short letter today. He's had a little cough but not really under the weather. They are in the 3rd and final phase. He'll be studying hard for tests in firefighting, battle stations lab and a cumulative academic test. Any recruit who fails any of the above will be held back 2 weeks. Their division has "flagged" every inspection. (Flagged is good I guess.) Currently 330 is in first place above the other divisions to graduate. The first place division marches into the hall 1st at graduation. RDC's are giving them a good motivator for keeping up the good work; extending curfew a couple hours on liberty weekend. He said, right now you probably know more about graduation than I do (from this website). The RDC's are going to be filling them in soon on graduation.
