NWIT - I usually get mail on Thursdays as well, my daughter got one yesterday and I got one today, so perhaps they are running late- 11/274

No letter for me today (it's usually letter day), hopefully tomorrow!! Glad to hear that everyone got them today tho! It is the best feeling in the world :)

Letter Day!!  One for me, one for my daughter and one for my son!  His division voted him "Honor Recruit"!  We are not sure what that means though lol!

is it normal to have "only" earned 2 flags when there is only two weeks left of BC?

 

Comment by diannep on August 12, 2011 at 9:55pm
Just "bumped up" the FLAG discussion above that fireteam posted for those interested in what they can earn during Bootcamp.  If it has gets lost in the discussions again, just hit VIEW ALL and scroll through for it.  I believe it is on the last page.
Comment by SailorBrittysMom on August 12, 2011 at 9:22pm

just want to remind everyone that wanted lanyards - i have 29 left - if you want one you need to send me an email to navymom@wavecable.com

and i will send them out to you via priority mail

each lanyard is $2.50 - i will do a custom badge for you at no charge

shipping is $4.95 in a flat rate envelope with tracking

Here is a link of a report done a few years ago on CNN. - Battlestations 21

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 12, 2011 at 7:27pm

Thanks - that's good to know!  I wasn't really complaining because I can just read them in order, but I thought it sounded odd to allow them to write more often but not mail them at the time.

 

I did get 2 letters on Wednesday  :)  One was dated 8/2 (took ten days to get to me instead of the usual 3) and the other was dated 8/7.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 12, 2011 at 6:28pm
The good ting about it is that they have so much to do on Sundays that it doesn't leave much time for writing. So now they will have more time to write and sometimes they do get to mail letters out more than just one day. I got letters  on 2 different day each of the last 2 weeks my Sailor was there. So maybe the RDC's will let them mail them out more as a reward. :-)
Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 12, 2011 at 6:22pm

Hope everyone is having a good day.

 

I'm wishing for a phone call (279)  :)

 

Seems strange to be able to write 3 times week but only mail out once.  What is the point??  lol
