suwi68 - They will get it together! They always do!!! Besides... at first... the RDC's are REALLY hard on them and that motivates them to work together as a team. If they were super nice... the recruits would slack off because they thought they could get away with it. We want a strong and dedicated US Navy fleet and the RDC's are trained to pull out the very best in our kids!
GO NAVY! :)

@suwi68...what ship and division is your son? I'm so happy you got a letter and glad to hear that it is getting better everyday.

Too cool!!! Happy Birthday to you, too! So neat to know another 9/9er!!! :)
Go Virgo's! ;)

LOL... nope... not a newbie anymore are ya! That's awesome though! We've all grown together during this phase of our child's life.
I'm so glad that we have this site to help us out! :)

Oh.. LOL... about ironing. I asked my son if he had figured it our yet and he replied, "sorta... with the help of like 5 other guys!" :) So he's not much of an ironing pro yet either. They'll get there! :)
Can you imagine being a fly on the wall of the guys barracks? It must be a HOOT! LOL... just gotta smile! ;)

Hey everyone, I'm changing my name because I'm not a new navy mom anymore.....I'm Tim's mom.

New Navy Mom... I think that when they stand watch their responsibility is to complete the deck log. My son said he's had to stand watch 3 times so far. I don't think it's something they do all the time as a regular job... but I could be wrong.
Stacking racks, huh? I'll ask my son... I have a questionnaire going so I'll add that to it. :)
I missed you all, too. I felt so far away from everything... and was so happy to come home. I like home. It just feels good to be here. :)

I ask because my son mentioned in his letter to his girlfriend that he dislikes deck log and stacking racks and he said it has been made known to him that he is not very good at ironing. I wonder if his job is deck log....would they give that job to someone.
BTW - Dana, glad you are back...we missed you!

Oh... Happy Birthday, Missy! It's tough to keep up on here. My birthday was the 9th... hugs fellow Virgo!
Only 4 more Mondays left... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way that sounds!!!!
I'm not sure what stacking racks means... what was the context?
A deck log is a book of events or things that happen on the ship and the Officer of the Watch makes notes in it. It's a VERY important job and not to be taken lightly as it can be used in a court of law.
Some things noted are:
Inspections
Injuries
Official visits
Arrivals and departures of the commanding officer
Drills held
Observance of sunrise and sunset
