My son also did not want to be SIQ he hung in there but he got better pretty quick. Standing for inspection from Lunch to dinner really stinks. It is a shame the other divisions seem like they are having some fun now and coming together. They need a different motivation. They have got to be some tough guys all that intensive training and they don't break. I have not heard that anyone went home.
I wonder if them getting sick has anything to do with all the shots they get. It just seems like every division no matter what year gets the same kind of sick. Just a thought. I hope your SR gets well soon.
I wonder how young the guys are in this group. How do they divide the SR's? What determines who gets put where? Could it be test scores? Or physical ability? Age? Or is it just random? I know most here are new like me and probably don't have an answer but somethings to think about.

Hi Moms, Iam Mom of Logan and he is in this same ship 09 and Div 131. His letter this week sounded more upbeat than previous ones. Pray all the boys are doing well. Logan has made friends with a young man named Langston from Ar. Are any of you Langstons mom?
