Ok got another letter today dated 2/16, Our sailor and four others got promoted in Rank to E3. In addition he says that his Div. (104), is out ahead of the others and is particularly kicking the crap out of their sister Div. 103 akin to an Army v. Navy Game. He also notes that P.I.R. should be about an hour as there are only 7 Divisions out of 15 that are graduating.Further that the weather dictates northeast apparel should be procured.

Crazy nutcase definitely refers to all of us. Colleen I think you are right, Dereck said something about having 76 guys also. He said 8 guys had been sent home for various reasons.
Well the twins are doing ok, sore as heck. I go to the dr monday and have the dressings taken off and then we will see if they are identical twins. Hopefully they are lol. I am trying not to take the pain meds, so thats probably why they seem more sore than the last two days. But all is well as long as I dont lift anything heavier than a milk carton or raise my arms above my head. Its getting better. It has to- only 4 more days before we leave town!

Navyblueeyes, thank you for the compliment on my son, he always was a charmer though. His head was about as big as my tv, and there wasnt a mirror that didnt have his reflection in it. And the icecream- well that is a whole other story- My two boys would eat a half gallon of cookies and cream in one sitting. I couldnt ever keep it in the house. But during wrestling season, it wasnt allowed in the house, nor were any other sweets or fattening foods. They had to maintain their wrestling weight and demanded no one in the house be allowed such liberties. I always felt if they were dieting, I was too. Boy was I happy when Both of the boys decided to go into a higher weight class. I was allowed to cook all of their favorite foods again!
