Illibeam there is a 904 group in the list above. Not a very active group but it is there.

I didn't get a phone call this week end. They were supposed to have had a test on Friday. I know they have had an inspection but I don't know the results of that. My daughter had to do a swim test on Wed that the others took the week before, but she was on light duty for a few days.

CJ said div 022 has an over all score of 4.3 and he said if the remain ones who have to test tomorrow score high it will drive their over all high which would allow for another flag or recognition.
Susan my son is new to div 022 he said he is helping the guys learn their folding and bed making. CJ has four weeks of BC behind him and was recently set back. Hopefully our sons will meet.

One thing, every division is told they are the worst division. Of course, that has to be true for one of the divisions, but not for all of them all of the time. But they all hear it at least once.

Susan: Probably the "Peanut Butters!" That is the other uniform they get, the one that you probably couldn't hear him say because of the static. The peanut butters are the tan shirt with the black pants. Very handsome!
On the scoring of the tests...they are scored out of 5.0. Sounds like their "division" average was 4.0 or higher allowing them to get a flag! That's a GREAT thing! The flags will all be displayed by the "sticks" (ones who hold them) at the front of the division when they march into PIR.
So wonderful that he has not been sick at al!! He must have one strong immune system! Mine was sick once when there, but just for a few days.

Back up a page or two, I talked about the flags. Probably their barracks inspection, or personal inspection, those are usually their first flags. BZ!

TysMom - sorry to hear :-( I haven't had more the 30-60 seconds of voice; BUT, my SR told his GF that he gets a phone call on Tues (which is his 3 week mark) and he is calling me so I am very anxious to hear his voice and have some solid minutes to talk! Hoping your SR gets a 3 week call next week and that you get to hear from him!
