Hi everyone~ I aso got a letter today. It was short and sweet and very positive! I could feel the love this time! Last letters had way too much sadness and a homesick feel. My son also ordered division shirts for us. He said they have US Navy on the front and the ship emblem on the back and everyone in the the division's name printed on them. He said they are really cool! I'm sensing some Navy pride!! He said nothing about Hell week - no mention of it, just that he was testing again for his PFA today and that they had a big weapons inspection coming up that they were all working together really hard to pass. Kat Q...I think our sons may be friends. He gave me a list of friends too and there was a Q name on there. Said the guys were "stoked" because they got haircuts again but they let them keep the top a little longer and only cut the sides. :) Can't wait to talk to him again. You all seem to have so much info on changes and plans for A school and he hasn't said a WORD about it yet.

Michael mentioned in his letter that they were given the opportunity to change their assignment if they wanted, so that might be the reason some will be going to school at a new location. He chose to keep the assignment he went in with and will stay at GL for A school. He was looking forward to going to the firing range this week. He was excited that there were opportunities to earn medals on marksmanship. He mentioned last names of some married guys he's friends with. He was thinking I knew all of your last names, since I told him about this blog. Well, soon it'll be Sunday and another "holiday" schedule for them! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Yes, the teens are wonderful! I noticed they are scheduled for BS on Sept. 29th. So, they'd complete it on Sept. 30th and we'd get our calls then? Are you guys interpreting it that way, too? Wow, talk about cutting it close. I guess that was the expression "push division", my son mentioned. A phone call would be so wonderful!! But I enjoy rereading his letters, too!! Have a wonderful day everyone!
