I copy/pasted what I wrote about this division and the wonderful SRs in it on another group page:
Hi, my son is also in this AWESOME division He really likes the guys, said everyone is pretty much friends and that they work really well together (should make Battlestations a breeze, then, right? hopefully). some things he has written:
"my bunk mate is from Texas and he is probably my best friend here so far. We had a test a couple days ago to see where we were at physically. The guy from France did 110 pushups and 92 situps, 2 minutes for each exercise!"
"Our division is really coming together as a team now (3rd Sunday). We are the best marchers and we keep really good military bearing. At night before we go to sleep, sometimes our RDCs will give a little motivational speech. They tell us that our gears are turning in the right direction and that they are seeing good things from us."
"The RDCs keep us really motivated. One thing that one of them said a few times really caught my attention - "Dying is easy, but life is an athletic event that you must train for each and every day"
"This place is kind of like high school in a sense that the treated us like freshmen when we first got here. Now they are treating us more like sophomores. It is much easier to make friends here than in high school and it makes bootcamp easier when you can get along with just about everyone in the division"
Aw, thanks ladies, for your awesome guys in division 132!

I got another letter - more Division news:
"As far as my division goes, by this week we are really close to falling together as a strong team. We motivate each other and are motivated by each other. In P-days we said the Sailor's Creed together because we had to. now we scream it with pride and motivation. We earned a flag for our first academic flag and a flag for marching. we are taking the PFA again and if 65 of us pass, we get another flag. I know we can do it. My friend said that during the run, i can run with him so he can keep me motivated. I have some real awesome friends here that I will miss when I leave..."
Also found out he's an "undesignated airman" and will go to Pensacola for 2 weeks of A school, then get a few days leave, then who knows. :-( He said a lot of harder side work for possibly a year before he gets a "job".

Got another letter - Division 132 IS the top division right! Bravo Zulu, guys!
They worked on the Marlinspike (mock ship) and set a record for tying off the mooring in 7 minutes! (the division before them did it in 26 minutes). They got to watch some CNN coverage of Japan as their reward.
One night, the RDC was playing "We Will Rock You" by Queen in his office. He stepped out, stomping and clapping and raising his arms to get the recruits stomping and clapping. He started yelling how this is why they train them to be the best, that they are WARRIORS! They are clapping and stopping and he is screaming motivational words. Finally they huddle around him chanting "132! 132! 132!"
What a vision!
