4.9 drill....... they were off by .1...come on! Maybe the payoff all comes in the end!! Delayed gratification..."hall of fame".....oh so worth missing a phone call! If the division does that well in the end, my son's self-esteem will be beaming and I will be thrilled!!!
My son was asking that I send him a box for all his letters when I asked the RTC on FB, they said no. Nicksmom, so my son is saying that he doesn't have enough room for all the letters either. Don't they have a postal service that has boxes or something where they can send them home. I guess they could start throwing away the letters if they are taking up to much room and affecting the score on their inspections. IDK...I don't know.... -

My son said that about the HOUR phone call too! I was so disappointed when I got his letter... and realized they didn't earn that phone call.
Thanks so much for sharing some details from your son's letter Nick'smom! My son doesn't give a lot of details so it's nice to hear they are turning around as a division!! Hooyah!!!!!!!
Only 1 more week to go - we can do this!! -

Graduating Sailors may not smoke, drive, or consume alcoholic beverages while on liberty.
Graduating Sailors must stay within a 50-mile radius of RTC.
