My son is in Div 041 as well. I got a call on Saturday and he sounded frustrated as well. But I received a real letter today and he sounded much more upbeat. I guess they really pulled together as a team for the first time recently. I hope this is an upward trend for them.

I got another call this morning from my SR asking for phone numbers for security reasons. He said his div 041 is doing better, no IT yesterday. He sounded good and said he started getting our letters (yay) but really hasn't had time to write us yet. I hope everyone has either gotten calls or letters from their SR's. I hope it's a good day for all.

just got a letter from my SR. They have decided to pull his wisdom teeth since they haven't come in completely! UGH - I'm so worried about him. When I talked to him last week he had a sinus infection! I can't imagine how miserable he will be trying to make it thru boot camp having his wisdom teeth pulled! I don't understand why can't wait until it's over. A school doesn't start until Jan 6th. He said a lot of guys are getting booted for various things. He said he's trying to stay strong but having a hard time with people constantly yelling at him! Sigh..

Ship 11, Div 042 - Happy Mom! Just got a letter from my SR! I can't believe it. He says it's miserable but he's fine. Says he heard from a lot of the other guys that he impressed an RDC the day he wrote the letter. Yay! He's says the food is great. They had ribs, which is one of his favorite foods. He mentioned two friends that flew out of LAX with him. So I feel better. Hope everyone is getting letters too!!

Has anyone in DIV 041 heard of the super eight? Is your son one of them?

I haven't heard anything about tha super eight yet.....is your SR one of them? I'm anxiously awaiting a letter hopefully tomorrow.

Yeah, he's one of them... I guess 8 of them got there a couple of days before the rest of the DIV so they had to do a lot of cleaning and learning how to do things and then they had to show the others when they got there. I guess those 8 have a bond because of being constantly yelled at for 36 hrs...lol. I thought it would be neat to know his friends moms.
