I got one more letter from Zlatko, he passed his PT on Monday. He did not say that people fail, so I am thinking that they all probably passed. He wil be going to San Antonio TX. His spirits are super high. He was promoted to E-2. He is a Corpsman. Does anybody else has Corpsman?
Thank you..Bo

I got a few letters today from my SR. He mentioned that he's become good friends with many of the men in the divison, including two boys named Zlato and Kumnick!
He said that Kumnick was his bunk mate and that Zlato does the paperwork for everybody. I think Zlato is Bo's son. Just wondering if any loved ones of Kumnick are on here. Sorry if I spelled the names wrong. I'm just going from how Grant wrote it in his letters, and he's not the best speller haha 7 days! Hope everyone has a wonderful day

Hello..I got few more letters from Zlatko. He is doing great, looking forward to the Battlestation, kids feel that this is going to be so much fun. The reason why some kids fail Battlestation is becuse they fall asleep. Gas chamber was not pleasent at all, kids vomit and all their body fluids came out through mouth and nose, it lasted about 5 minutes for him, but he said that he would do it again if needed. I got 4 letters and with each one, there was more pride and determination to get this done. Division is doing fine and spirits are high..See you all in 9 days..Bo

That is great RetiredNavyMom, I know you must feel relieved. Moving is hard enough without the stress of this bootcamp roller-coaster on top of it. Plus you don't have your nice strong Sailor there to help you move everything. Good luck to him and have a great time at PIR, travel safely.
