I got more letters from my husband today...said 132 got another flag for doing good on their zone inspection! And that he did awesome on the second PFA, he said he did a little better than on the first! OH yes and 132 ladies...looks like battlestations is on their calendar!! Sounds like it will be Thursday, April 7th and goes until Friday morning...so be expecting calls on FRIDAY APRIL 8TH!! I will also post in the Battlestations thread up above...but that's exciting! Almost done!
He also said that they have great RDC's and that their division leads the ship!
I got a letter from my son today. He filled out a survey for me - it was funny! He did say his bunkmate was from Florida - the last name starts with a C, and the bunkmate sleeps on the bottom. Anyone here from Florida?
I got a call, but my phone was off so he left a message. I was so sad to miss his call, but I am a teacher, and have my phone on silent during class. He knows that but that was probably the only time he was able to call.
It was good to hear his voice, though!
Hey Ladies!! So in my husband's letters today, he talked about what is going on there until battlestaions! Thought it might be nice to know when all the stuff is happening, so here is their schedule (probably NOT written in stone but as of Sunday this is what it was...)
Thursday (today!): Personal/Dynamic Inspection (dress blues or whites or service uniform and folding clothes)
Friday: Final PFA
Monday: Academic Test 3
Tues: Marching inspection
Thurs/Fri: Battlestations!!!
He said he can't wait until battlestations, and that a lot of the guys are counting down the days! Only 7 more days left!! And then we get our calls!!! He also said that the division had gotten lots of flags and pennants as well! Exciting!!
Same here! Congrats to us all!!
