I GOT A LETTER!!!!!! I know why we recieved no calls this weekend........... My son said that someone from their brother div threw a wrapped brownie at one of the guys in 168, and he threw it back! So they all paid for that dearly, not sure how but my son really did not say much the letter was dated on 4/6. He just said they do have scheduled phone calls coming up soon so stay close to our phones Ladies! He did say he did good on his Tuesday test he said nothing about the Drill inspection they had! I can't wait for my phone call so I can get answers about their HOF.... If they made it or not! He said Wednesday he was getting a "peanut butter shot" LOL ..... If I hear anything else I will report guys Have a good day!

I also got a letter from Josh today and he also told me about the brownie..said the brother div. gives his div. a hard time because they can't have sweets, but they have been doing better than their brother division in everything they have done. Josh said everyone in their division passed test 2 and they passed their drill assessment. They scored a 4.4 with no failures on the test 2. He also said they are suppose to have a phone call sometime. Was a very short letter to me this time because he also wrote his sister which he would never have done...the Navy is definately changing.
Wont be long now........ -

Why can't they have sweets? My son is not a sweet eater but just wandering why no sweets? I am really glad you got a letter! 10 days more........ a week from today is BS... I will not sleep ! Hang in their Ladies!

Hi there everyone. This is the first time I have posted on here but I check here regularly to see if there is any new news. I don't have a pink scarf but I will find something pink to tie on my purse. I saw a comment on another division post saying to tie something on your purse in the correct color if you did not have a scarf. So that is my plan. Look forward to meeting you.
