M3 :  (son ship 12 div 154) It was so nice to hear that your hubby has taken some of our boys under his guidance. 

Michelle: My son, (ship12 div 154) too is very worried about his inspections. He thinks he may be getting asmoed due to an inspection deficiency.

Lets hope for the best and pray for our SRs tonight,

Thank you Lala & diannep, I was truly scared and worried about the walk. I want to be able to stand up after graduation, and the walk would take that possiblity away from me.
Comment by m3 on April 4, 2011 at 8:20pm

Michelle, Dayciavu, my prayers are with your SR's. The first few letters and the first phone call I got from my husband were horrible, he was very upset and it broke my heart. Now he is doing soooo much better, I can't believe it! 

Just make sure to keep sending letters! I have started to send two letters a day because he enjoys hearing his name called so much! I include a ton of pictures and he says thats the only thing getting him through! 

They will get through this! 

So my husband said they call him "the silent leader" because he helps everyone in the Div and makes sure they know what they are doing and encourages them...it makes me so proud to know that even though he was having a really hard time he was able to still help others! 

 

Now I'm just praying that 154 does good on their inspections / tests this week and earns a call!! 

Comment by Michelle (ship-12 div-154) on April 4, 2011 at 7:36pm
I also received a short letter today. Mine wasn't all that good either. My son seems to be questioning his decisions. WhenI spoke to him last Tues. he was so upbeat....maybe Thurs. was just a" tough day"
Comment by CMom on April 4, 2011 at 7:26pm
Dayciavu - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your hubbie!  I agree with everyone else - He likely just had a bad day or two - Keep telling yourself - The RDC's job is to break them down so they can build them up - maybe your hubbie was a little tougher to "break" that's why you are just now hearing about it!!  Trust that all will be ok!!    I know it is hard on you {{{{Big Hug}}}}- I bet he felt better just telling you about things!!
Comment by marylieu on April 4, 2011 at 7:11pm

M3: my son is in the same div as your hubby...we got letters today too!!!!  He sounds so much better!!!!  I hope that all of you get letters too!!!

Dayciavu:Thoughts are with you through this difficult time. I hope that by now the difficulties have passed.
