Yes it is a regular division. It's an integrated one. Welcome to 9/197! Sorry to hear that your SR was injured. I'm glad she is well enough to continue. Hope all is smooth sailing from here.I have a daughter in this division too.

Just had a 35 minute phonecall from my SR. She's doing so good. No flags yet but they are beginning to work more like a team. Still doing port watch and is helping with starboard watch. Girls got IT'd last night because a few girls weren't moving fast enough! Pictures on Weds.They will be marching for a few hours tonight. Can't wait til graduation and feeling like a girl again. She just wants to sit with her legs crossed and to smell like a girl! lol

Lol thats funny. I got a call too but it was about ten minutes because he had trouble with the phone at first. My SR said they got a new RDC, this RDC appearently was a Seal so he reminds my SR of a Marine. It was so great to hear that they are coming together as a team. My SR sounded so much better this phone call even though it was only a week and a half ago I talked to him. Definitly made my day. :)

You all may want to go back and look at the random pictures posted on the RTC facebook page. I found the picture my daughter told me to look for. "Randon pictures" March 11th, I think) It is the picture with two RDC's in the picture and the female RDC looks like she's talking/yelling at the recruits marching. (What you don't know is she was actually asking the recruits if they were getting her good side and they were trying not to laugh!) I saw my daughter!! Yay. It was so nice to see her!

March 11th they were not in bootcamp yet. Are you sure that's the right album?

I think you mean May 11th.
No matter how many people say they see there SR I never see mine. O well there must be a reason I don't get to see him till PIR.

Ooops! I did mean May 11th! I re-read that darn thing 3 times before I added it. I'm sorry you didn't see your SR. I was hoping. Maybe he's in the rear of the division. My SR is port, so when they are marching three rows, I think she said it's because they split port and starboard, then come together.

Did anyone else's SR talk about there new RDC?

That he was a Navy Seal and was checking up on the RDCs he trained and since he did not like how the division was preforming he was taking over training for two weeks.
