Good, I have been praying for them. My son's last letter was much more positive and confident. Seems like we are on track for PIR 3/25/11.

I wish I knew whether my DH was G&G! Still haven't heard about that... doesn't change my plans though since he'll be across the street but I'm worried he'll have time between BC and A school. Some people have to wait and I really don't want him to be stuck.

Our SR's did this earlier this week and maybe it's the exercise they did so well at!
USS Marlinspike, a ship mockup that the recruits would have to "get underway" in howling pre-hurricane conditions. Replete with loud, howling winds and flashing strobe-lights, the ship presented a daunting task for young recruits who had only been taught the basics of seamanship in the past few weeks. In 20 minutes or less, the crew must muster, set the sea and anchor detail, cast off all lines and then get the ship safely underway. RDCs and ship facilitators will not do anything to help; they just monitor for safety. The recruits are in charge, from someone representing the Commanding Officer down to the line handlers on the pier. If they leave a heaving line adrift on deck, recruits may quickly find themselves tripped up. If muster reports aren't made properly, the ship goes nowhere. It's truly something to watch. The division I observed shifted colors and was "underway" with about two minutes to spare. What you see next is...Pride. You can see the thought behind the eyes of every single recruit - "Hey, we can actually do this!" And behind each smile of satisfaction is the realization that, "if we apply what we have been taught, and we do it as a team, we will succeed."
