Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 5, 2011 at 3:58pm: Hi Dawn, My son has known he was going to A school (for MP) in San Antonio shortly after he arrived BC. Just about every letter he writes, he mentions going to San Antonio. Nothing has changed. Hmmm...so your son was told differently? I thought all going to San Antonio were leaving same time, morning after graduation.

Comment by Dawn on April 5, 2011 at 3:49pm: lbmom...my son's rate is hospital corpsman...and last he heard, he may be staying in GL for A school...is San Antonio back on?!! so frustrating....guess I should get used to it, eh?!! <grin>

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 5, 2011 at 3:46pm: LOL yes..well until my son goes to A school in San Antonio, which will be far far away.

Comment by Jenacfs on April 5, 2011 at 3:39pm: Ohh, you lucky duck!!!! LOL

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 5, 2011 at 3:34pm: Thanks Jenacfs, I sure am proud of him. Probably the reason why I seem to get my letters much quicker is we live only 1 hour away from Great Lakes.

Comment by Jenacfs on April 5, 2011 at 3:18pm: Aww, congrats on him getting sharpshooter. That is great !!! My Husband said they are being so tough and you NEVER hear the RDC's stop yelling . That was a letter from last sunday. I can't wait till they are out of there, i feel for them but know they can handle what ever is thrown to them. Glad your son is doing good.

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 5, 2011 at 3:14pm: Hi Jenacfs: I received a letter from my son in Div 139. He wrote me a three page letter. He is doing really good with all tests and inspections. He did say he was not happy with how the RDCs have their div and brother division in competition against each other to see who is best. He said at first they were getting along great and doing friendly competitions but now the RDCs want to see who is better so it is now getting competitive. He did say BC should be getting easier from here on to the end, except for Battlestation which is coming up but he is looking forward to that. He had a great week last week said he received a "S" for sharpshooter in the shooting.

Comment by Jenacfs on April 5, 2011 at 3:14pm: I just figured that they have 3 days now to write, the mail will start flowing. LOL, wishful thinking i guess.

Comment by Lamarmama 09/139 on April 5, 2011 at 3:11pm: I have not received a letter this week either, but still early in the week.

Comment by Jenacfs on April 5, 2011 at 3:10pm: Has anyone gotten any letters from their SR in division 139, curious how their week went last week. South Florida is on the snail mail list!!!
