The test should have been on rank/rate recognition, rape awareness, equal opportunities, sexual harassment and fraternization, core values, professionalism, test taking, navy chain of command, watch standing, customs, and courtesies. I think that covers it all.

Amber - Thank you for starting this discussion for us 283'ers. Please remember to pray for their test tomorrow so that they can hopefully get a ONE HOUR phone call :) From everything I have heard, 283 is working well as team and they are making great progress!

I hope our guys do do well on thier test but I'm not going to get my hopes up on that phone call, even though I'd love to have one :)))))))) I've heard that RDC's lie. Do someone post that division 283 was nothing but men? Glad to know they are working well together. It's crazy to hear that some of them have been takin away in handcuffs. Kinda makes you wonder what they've done, even though I don't think I really want to know.

That was me :) My Sailor told me in his letter that 283 is an all male division. He said it is awesome because it makes him feel more comfortable pushing everyone to work hard physically and to do their best. He has a lot of respect for women, he is the type that doesn't like me to carry in groceries or move heavy furnature... that type of stuff. So pushing a female Sailor would not be his specialty (although I am sure she would be fully capable!).

Sounds right about my Sailor too. He goes out of his way for me like that as well. He's VERY strong despite only being 5'7" and he's very conscious of it. I think with him being with other guys it'll help because he won't have to pull back. Personally, I'm glad there are no women either because they can be a distraction, too.

Yea, girl to girl... I LOVE that there are no females in our Sailor's division (wink).

I hope they did:( I'm disappointed I didn't get a phone call, though.

I haven't gotten one either... don't worry.. it'll either come or it wont. Either way, each day that goes by is one day closer to when we get to see our Sailor again. :)

I havn't gotten a phone call today either. But when I talked to him on Tuesday he said something about how the call would probably come on Monday or Wednesday...??? Better safe than sorry though, my phone is attached to me at ALL TIMES just in case!
