Hi everyone! Wow I'm up really late. I got a letter today too. Pretty much the same news as what has already been posted. Todays letter was very positive. He had great things to say about the division and how they are really working together now and getting ready for Battlestations and graduation. He also earned the ribbon for shooting and was very happy about that as this was the first time he had ever handled a weapon. Said they have all of their uniforms now and they look so cool in all of them. He confirmed that they will be wearing whites for graduation. He also added my brother to his graduation list and my brother will be driving up from DC to attend. Can't wait! It's been great reading about everyone's letters today.

Sailor Mom - how is your daughter feeling? She must be so ready to have this baby. How cool that grandpa will be there also. God Bless all.
I have a lot on my schedule today but don't really want to go out. I want to be one of the first ones to read the postings of our newly capped Sailors. Woohoo! Can't believe we are on the final count down. Prayers are still going out for our remaining SR that have to go through BS.
Everyone have a great Friday!! -

Sondra - I found a good one that I got my SR...at Walmart of all places - it was an anchor/ships wheel with a cross/crucifix over the top - I have my son his before he left but he didn't take it with because he didn't want to lose it....

Ya' know...Our division is kickin butt...so you would think with all the hard work these guys and gals have been doing and pushing through and beating the pants off the other divisions, that they would be rewarded with a call. But NO...nothing. Humph *sigh* I am very aggravated by this.

This is info. on Captain's Cup. On the Saturday before Battle Stations, all divisions graduating together compete for the Captain's Cup. Captain's Cup is basically a field day, with competitions in sit ups, push ups, running, throwing, swimming, obstacle courses, relays, and more. It's a fun day, and winning the Captain's Cup is a matter of great pride to the winning division.
