Thank you veteran BOOTCAMP MOMS for all your help and look forward to going through the journey with other parents of SR of DIV 903. My son's rate is for Aircrewman after BOOTCAMP and he is working with the drill team (rifles) for this triple threat division. We heard from him this last Sunday and are waiting for a possible letter. Would love to know anything you hear or know about the 903's. My prayers are with all the SR and there families.

Yes, calls two Sundays in a row but my son said it may be 2-3 weeks before they call again. On Mon Oct 26 DIV903 was on W3 D2 if you are keeping track.

I heard from my SR 02/903 today.....a letter:). He said they are having trouble working as a team. One of his close friends is on limited duty struggling with a heart murmur and may be delayed or sent home. He said it's going fast now and tomorrow they will be 4-1. He's looking forward to coming home for Christmas to see everyone.

Got a letter from my SR yesterday (but no call Sunday, like the rest of you!) In her prior letter she had sounded confident and determined, but things must be getting tough, because this letter wasn't as upbeat. She says 02/903 lost phone privileges last week and is constantly taking "hits" for being in trouble and getting lots of IT for what she called "dumb mistakes." She said the constant punishment is getting disheartening for those in the group who are really trying hard. But on the other hand, when I read these boards it seems like all the divisions are struggling... so maybe it's just part of the process that things get really rough before they get better?
She also said she is the assistant yeoman for the division and the extra responsibility felt good. Her dad, sister, grandmother-- the whole family far and wide--immediately mailed out "hang in there" cards and encouraging letters because she said she appreciated them so much. Isn't Week 4 called "Hell Week"? Praying for them all and hoping 903 can get it together!
