I just got a call from the "Recruit Training Command' and TOTALLY thought it was going to be my honey. It wasn't. Unfortunatly he is in not feeling well (probably a 24 hour stomach flu/food poisinging type thing, he puked this morning, my poor honey!). He will be fine though, nothing to worry about, but I am giong to pray for him nontheless and if you pray, please say a prayer for him too, his name is Karlton.
The SR who called was actually his R-POC, that was pretty cool to talk to him! He was just calling to confirm who would be attending PIR. Since I had him on the phone I figured I may as well ask him when Battle Stations is just to confirm what Karlton wrote in his letter. The R-POC said, "I believe it is on Tuesday"... which is the 17th. Yay!!!
All that to say, yes, 283 will have Battle Stations on Tuesday, August 17th :) It is confirmed! -

Sailors Sweetheart~ HooYah!!! Im so thankful for Karlton~ He gives dates, LOL! Boy their cutting it close on BS. Not that antone in this div is going to fail BS 21 and have to retake it, but still. When was your letter dated? Mine was dated on the 8th and did not mention Gas chamber or firefighting. I agree with you on the Sunday thing, I would'nt think they ever did much on Sundays seeing it's called a holiday and they get "free time" till 1pm. So mabey they did it on the 9th, eathier why that horable part of the gas chamber is over. I wonder if they all had fun fire fighting, Im Jelous, I haven't been able to fight a fire in almost 4 months ( not that I want anything to burn mind you, just that if it's going to happen I want to be there) I geuss that's just the firefighter in me, LOL. Have a good night.

RDC's don't yell as much anymore
There are "curtains" on the bathroom stalls for privacy
He passed his sit and reach test
Their insections went well
He's not going to miss anything about boot camp
Division is "kinda" getting along better
He told me I'd "have to see" what their div flag looks like when I get to PIR (he won't tell me or draw it, wants it to be a surprise
Their PT gear is "nike" name brand, lol
They don't have to wake up at 4 am everyday, only sometimes
He stopped attending Church :((((( Says he doesn't like it there
He wrote down the last names of all the SR's in his div that hold JOB titles (if you would like to know, just message me)
Dates of things: (some we already had)
Gas chamber - was the 10
Final PFA - was the 12
Final #3 test - Today ( praying for all o do well)
Captins cup - Is 2 morrow the 14
No date for battle stations - but it should be the 17th, which has been posted by others
He signed his letter at the bottom by drawing a heart "your" and drawing a sun (for "love your son") Boy I miss him!!!!!!!!!!!
Now for the bad news :((((((((((
4 SR where leaving (for home) on the 10th
1 SR is in the hospital

My SR is still in RCU and on Sunday he went to the VA Hospital. Good news about that is I actually got to talk to him for a cumulative hour! It was amazing! Then yesterday I got to talk to my SR for another hour (which I found really odd since he was back on base). He's really congested and still has his fractures.
I'm going to miss being up there with you all.
*has a blue candle burning for you all anyway* -
