Anyone have their loved one in Div 360? Was hoping for a letter today, but it wasn't to be. Also no phone call yet. I'm wondering if his div is having a hard time.

So I got a call today!!! It was so exciting to hear his voice we got to talk for 40 min!! He sounded so much better today then he did the last time i got to talk to him. He says he got jumped up to E2. he easily passed his swim qualifications (he was a swimmer in HS) and passed all other tests. he's on day 3-1. he likes his RDC's he has 3 of them he's not to fond of the food which suprises me since most of your recruits say they like it. Mines just too picky i guess lol he's gotten all my letters he said he sent 4 letters to me including the form letter which were returned to him because he messed up our address when he sent them so he just re-sent them out today so I'm looking forward to that. I'm just glad he's doing okay maybe I can finally start to breathe! Its such a relief to hear him so upbeat. fingers are x'ed everyone else gets letters or calls maybe even both!!

Second week of letters for Cardnal Company! Anyone notice the handwriting?? I haven't seen my boys so neat since grade school! He sounded awesome! Guess he's a weird one...he said the swim test was a blast?!? I got graffic detail of what they had to do...so glad I wasnt there...I would of died of a heart attack! He isnt the best swimmer and zanesgirly is a lifeguard..she's been worried sick! He said the first physical test was not bad for him...he is a fireman and has been training all summer tho...so dont worry if your SR struggled..they will get it! He was so pumped for today...they get the rest of their dress uniforms--dress blues, white crackers jacks and dress khakis---I cant wait to see them! He also talked about the first rack and uniform inspection...said he got 5.0 or 100%...hope he brings that back to his room at home! Last comment was that they are getting mail M-F and those RDC's werent kiddin' them--it is the BEST part of the day for them...he said KEEP THEM COMING PLEASE!! And any news about whats happening at home is like gold to them...ballgame scores, local gossip, etc.....Gotta go write my boy!! Hang on everyone...the letters will come!!
