FWIW, if we get no phone calls it hopefully means our recruits' training is on track! From what I've read, if we get extra phone calls it means they've failed or have been injured.

The entrance to RTC is shown as Illinois St. on Google, off of Buckley Rd (137). If you are looking at the aerial map you'll see the large parking lot on Illinois. The building at the north end of the lot is the visitor center. The PIR hall is the block bordered by 8th, 9th, Indiana and Ohio streets. .....soooooo Excited ...hope to meet you all there....I wish there was a way we can all recognize each other Div 922 ladies

"Our RDC's say we need to focus on the present tasks. we get in trouble if we ask." @ Anthony's Mom my Dau of course knows your son lol (SWSL & PWSL) she stated they both get in trouble alot lol...They are both happy that they are keeping those jobs. lol......Tonight (meaning Tuesday last week) Im scared our Chief is going to ASMO the entire Div. I think they are trying to scare us .....It is working!!!
(weds morning letter) "Our Chief said we have until Sat to come together as a division or he is gonna ASMO all of us.
(Thurs letter) Today was good they rec. a 4.9/5.0 on a drill inspection (marching) They all did good. they are going to bed early tonight cause of a test in the morning.
(Friday wk 4/day 5) We receive letters twice a week. they will be working on the Div 920/921 PIR...she will be at the door greeting people.lol.....
Guess What !!! Our Div has gotten 10x better as a team so we are good!! (lol RDC the scare tactic)
We have won all the flags possible!!! the Academic flag, PT flag, Drill flag, weapons flag etc....we are at the top pf our training group as of now we are #1 so we are doing good so far.

OMG Jaime. Your post makes me feel so much better. I also got a letter today, my daughter called me at work and read it to me over the phone. I felt absolutely horrible after she read it! He stated he was so excited last week to do the livefire but then didn't end up getting to do it because his RDC accused him of falling asleep. He had to name three SR's sitting around him and if those three could attest that he was not asleep then he would get to do the livefire. But apparently his RDC didn't believe any of them so he didn't get to do it. I could tell he was really down about it. OK, what does ASMO mean? He also said that they got a "department hit" because of improper entries into the log. When I hear things like this it just makes me so anxious and upset. But your letters from your daughter have made me feel better. I'm glad to hear they are working finally as a team.

ASMO: Assignment Memorandum. Recruits who are ASMO‟d are sent back in training, typically for failing a training requirement (academic, swimming or PFA), medical or disciplinary reasons.
I know I get anxious and upset too! hang in there they will all get through this...My Dau mention "Mom its crazy we are always so tired I feel asleep standing and marching the other day...she said I wasnt the only 1....awe bless their hearts...my Dau say _ _ _ _ _ (last name) is cool!
