Happy Mother's Day everyone. This is my first Mother's Day without my daughter around and it seems rather strange. I know our SR's are all thinking about us like we are thinking about them. God Bless you all. 

bllz was on facebook and we are trying to decide if our division is in one. Is anyone else on this facebook page? Can you please check to see if you see your sr?

I watch the RTC facebook page everyday!! I have not seen my SR yet.  I will let you know if I see him though!
Got a letter from my SR sounds like our division is have some trouble. He said that they are the laughing stock of the ship. I hope he was over exagerating. He said they were not working as a team and nightly inspections they were not passing most of the time. They haven't earned any flags because of what is happening inside the division. It was not a good letter. I just i thought i would let everyone know. Sounds like they need a lot of encouragement and prayers.
Oh man! That stinks! My daughter said they missed the scholastic flag by .02 of a point because 2 failed their first test. No letters for me this week yet. Can you tell me anything else about what's happening?
Maybe 9/197 are just late bloomers!

He really didn't say to much about why the division is not getting along. But he said that everyone has tried from people in the division to the RDCs but nothing is working. they just seem to not be getting along which is effecting them becomeing a team.

As far as the nightly inspections, that is when the officer of the deck checks the barracks. There always seems to be something that gets them in trouble. They get points taken for everything that is not as it should be. All of the points that are taken away have lost them certain things but he didn't say what.

I'll let you know if I get more info.

Is he on port side or starboard side? My daughter said starboard side is always getting IT'd and PT'd. Up until when I last spoke to her that hadn't happened on port side. Doesn't mean it hasn't by now with all the stress of no flags , etc, etc,

Sounds like he is probably on the starboard side.

I saw my daughter on the recruit training command site maybe yoursbwill be she is in the line to get chow
Nope. My daughter isn't in there. Thats such a bummer. I am so glad you got to see your daughter though Nancy. It's got to be so nice to see her after a month of missing her. How does she look to you?
Hard to tell but I know she doesn't like bootcamp
