Apparently there are about 3 of them that are working on the flag. He said that the three of them submitted designs and are apparently the artists. He said that they went with someone else's design, but they are all painting it together. So, I don't want to take away from someone else. My son did not design the flag. :0)

My son was pretty proud they were the first division to receive the flag and everyone passed at higher then 85%.
Our boys might not do well on their mock inspections, but they are pretty smart guys in our division :)

I got my first phone call today! He sounded good and still up beat. He was the "Div Comand" but he failed his PT run so he lost that "Title". But he said its not gonna discourage him. I was proud of him when he said that...Hes diff growing up there. :) He called the cell phone so was able to put him on speaker and everyone got to talk to him and hear his voice. Says hes flying out Saturday morning after graduation. Told me that the home town news papers I have been sending him (Its a weekly one) he could not keep and had to throw away. He was able to cut a pic out of one of them thou. A friend of his just had a bone marrow transplant and they had a article about her and her sister (her donor) on the front page with a pic of them. I was glade that they at least let him have the pic out of the newspaper. I will have to get another copy of that paper for him to have. SO looking forward to PIR!

Great Jenny! Isn't it wonderful??
My son did not pass the PT run the first go either. He said not to worry about him though, said he only missed it by 15 seconds and is getting faster and faster everyday. Also - he said that he LOVES making the bunks!! LOL I said who knew that you could make beds? For sure - NOT ME!! Haha
Oh - the other thing I thought was cool is that he said that guys are actually letting thier families know about N4M because of what they hear from the guys whose families are involved. I think it is fantastic!

Bawhawhawhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa........ well, technically, I don't play Farmville, but there are others in my bag that YOU are aware of. I love that though. Planning while we play our FB games. April 1st can't some soon enough. My son told me that they were most definitely grad-n-go too. He said that he might be taken to wherever at 2am on that Saturday.
Oh, he also said that A school for Corpsman was a 50/50 shot if being in San Antonio and GL. Said that the word is that eevn thought he A school is not scheduled until 4/15, they are considering taking half to San Antonio to get a start up class going. He said that they are not sure if that is accurate and that they will not know until much later. So, still no answers unfortuantely.
