@Patti, I may have been the one who posted 149 was the sister Div but after talking to CMom, I think we are all confused about who are the sister/brother Divs. Any ideas out there to find out who will be going to Battlestations with 150? Just curious if anyone knows.

what is a sister division? I've only seen the term brother division. and 149 is 150's brother division. I don't think 151 is a brother division. i could be wrong though.

I am as confused as you! lol!! Maybe it should be queried on the RTC facebook wall and see what comes back from the RDCs? Just an idea. :)

Sister, maybe because they are women? Not sure! In her letters she had stated they are the sister division to 150 *shrug*

That was my thought also.

Is your son complaining they still aren't working together? I got another letter from my daughter today. She's such a riot!! Never knew she was so darned funny! (she was so serious at home!) Leaving the cussing out, here is a sum of her experience:
"I can't believe people are that clueless about f***** teamwork! We help each other all the time and work together. We NEED it for battlestations also. Being independant is bad here. We get IT if we don't work as a team. We have to be here for each other even if you don't like them. Teamwork has motivation. You need to drill together, step together, so you look perfect. We need to fix each others mistakes. We didn't have barely any team work for Marlinspike, which we failed by 30 something hits because team work was horrible." "If you don't have teamwork, and say you get shot in combat, your buddies won't help you, because they want to worry about themselves." (gee, this part sounds familiar, I said the same thing here a week ago!)
I feel bad for their division. I will feel even worse for the people they get put together with in the future if they don't shape up. Wake up 151, your division is counting on you!!!
I sent her one of those questionnaires. She always cracks me up with her answers!
What's your favorite thing so far? Sleeping
What Div is on top? I'm not sure. Our score is 4.2 right now. It's horrible. People are careless.
Are you guys working as a team? HELL NO!
Do you like ironing? NOPE!!
Sewing? I can't sew worth s**
Who is the funniest? Vargas and Lockhart (V is her bunkmate)
She went on to tell me about a funny story about her showing her "blonde" side (she used to have a t-shirt as a kid saying "A blonde with brunette hair").
I had sent her little feathers from her birds in the first letter and she said she saved them. Awe! How cute! She has become quite the woman in the last month and so incredibly proud of her, as I'm sure everyone is with their kids right now.

I sent my SR a letter yesterday asking him for more info on BS so lets hope he gets it fast and responds quickly -
Has everyone else sent a letter asking their SR what day and with what division? Maybe we will find out before they
go?! We are getting soooo Close!!!
-

I sent one to mine yesterday also. It would be awesome to get a phone call before BS, wouldn't it? Send good thoughts/prayers mine passes the run. He's off but only but 10 seconds per minute - but still not good enough to pass. He HAS to do this! He's come too far and scored too well not to get it!!
-

-
Mine's off by 2 minutes on her run...so I feel for ya!
-
-
-
Yeah, I worry about that part of it! If he can't get it within limits I worry what will happen. :( Let's hope they both pass their Final PT!!
