We got another letter this morning. My son said he had passed his second PFA, he said no one had failed. Someone did get sick on the track and when they were ask who had thrown up on the track (evidently a big no no) no one would tell but the RDC seemed to be glad. I guess because they were watching out for each other. They were having a compartment inspection on the 10th and if they passed they would get a phone call. I'm assuming they didn't do good because we didn't get a phone call. Bummer. I found a blue candle today It was a Yankee candle called the stars and stripes. It has an american flag on the front and it smells good on top of that. It is on my fireplace now and will be burning. Not much longer!

Thanks, so much, CHER...for winning the trivia question and for getting the picture posted of DIV 189! My son is in DIV 189 and I used a magnifying glass to examine the photo...but really couldn't positive i.d. my son: There is one SR that could be him...but just not sure. Received a great, positive-sounding, letter in today's mail: My son earned a ribbon in "marksmanship" and his PFA (at 4 A.M.) he easily passed. He also mentioned that they had their photos taken (in their dress-whites) last Friday. And the funniest thing he said was he'd been thinking about how "wierd" it will be, to go off-base, after graduation and he thinks he might always stand at attention and "pivot" when he is entering a building! He absolutely had nothing negative to say, in his letter, other than when he has time to write letters (which seems to be just before Taps) he'd really rather just go to sleep...as he is so tired from all the activities of the day! Does anyone else have any new info on Div 189? Hoo-rah...only 15 days to go! We are all almost there!
