Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 22, 2011 at 9:31pm: with ones loosing SRs in their divisions - I think this is the after effects of "Hell Week". Saw an old post on another page where the SR wrote his mom that this is where they see who will last. Make or break them...sounds hard but at least they have 2 more weeks of bc to better themselves.

Comment by Pennie on August 22, 2011 at 9:18pm: I got a letter from my SR today, he didnt say much (matter a fact he didnt even sign it at the bottom with his typical Love ya). He said they are now allowed to write a little more frequently. Said that he went to the classifer for the nuke field and that there is not much excited going on. (I thought that was a little odd to say considering all these are new experiences for him and that was pretty much it.

Comment by Julie on August 22, 2011 at 9:14pm: Yes. I'm sending my SR and everyones division alot of prayers!! I guess everyones division is having trouble with a few people, but I guess that always happen. I hope we get lots of letters and some phone calls! Just gotta keep praying!

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on August 22, 2011 at 9:08pm: T-shirts for M&G. I ordered mine today. Do I put Sailor and last name or just last name?

Comment by Pennie on August 22, 2011 at 9:03pm: Praying for all our SR's.

Dont be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. Philippians 4:6

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on August 22, 2011 at 8:53pm: Wow guys this is crazy. I have heard nothing. Kimmie whats up? I hope all is well. We all need to come together in prayer for our SR's. They need help. God can give it. Wow I so wonder how my son is. PRAY PRAY PRAY

Comment by proudmom (311)(HS Corpsman mom) on August 22, 2011 at 8:00pm: Please pray for letters for me!!! I only have received one so far.. I am very happy for the people who are getting them. I am learning so much..

Comment by Julie on August 22, 2011 at 8:00pm: Got a letter today too! Not much was said, that he was fitted into his dress uniforms on the 15th. And there are still people in his division not really keeping up to "bootcamp standard" as he says. Its really hurting those who are.

And I figured I'd wear my shirt after PIR. Wear something nice to the actually PIR but afterwards probably change into something more comfortable and more cooler. I hear its suppose to be hot hot hottt!! And humid. I hope to hear more from my SR throughout the week, and lets hope for some phone calls!!! I know of some on here that hasn't gotten a phone call yet. I'm praying for you!! 24 DAYS!!

Comment by cluebee on August 22, 2011 at 7:56pm: It has been raining letters! When I got home last night, there were 3 waiting on me. Imagine my surprise to see 3 more today! So good. Appears as though they have lost several (at least 5 by my count) from their division who were ASMO'd. Lots of IT, but they are getting better or so they think - haha.

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 22, 2011 at 7:50pm: Kimmie ~ My SR was brought into boot camp "undesignated" so I have no idea where her A School will be. I've asked RTC but have not received direction yet. IT again? What is his division? If 02/944 - I believe THAT should be their "flag"...all they've done since the moment they stepped foot on GL soil. Well, they'll be in great shape!!!
