Hello everyone, just made it in. PNM your son got Ceremonial Guard - HOOYAH!! No calls for 326, and from what I can see here, only one posted from our sister div 325. How sad that we did not get the PFA flag. I don't understand that, they have been training for 5 weeks now. Didn't they have to meet some kind of physical test during MEPS? I feel so bad for our SR's that had to do extra PT after failing the test, not because of the PT, but because of the let down. What a roller coaster this has been.

Yeah I know of that one, is the one she is talking about at the bowling alley on base and is it different?

@eileen-
RPOC is Recruit Petty Officer Chief! It is a good thing!

OK... so I guess I'll be mailing them to her. She told me about a locker at the bowling alley that they told them about. I am not sure about that and since she is going to be on hold before A school, I don't want to rent a locker, because she might not get to get it for quite some time. maybe the bowling alley is on base and is cheaper and she at least will have access to her stuff easier. Do you know of the place? Anyone?

I mentioned bringing civies for them to wear IN THE HOTEL ROOM at PIR. They can't wear them outside of the room. I think many of the guys ask that moms bring boxers for them to wear. At some point, they can wear their civies at A School, including underwear. And, yes, many mail their sailor's civilian clothes to them. My son didn't want his...he just bought a few at the NEX to tie him over until he came home on leave and got some of them.
