Me neither Nancy. It's so hard not knowing what's going on. Never thought I was one of those people who relied on text messages but now that my daughter isn't texting me a million times a day, I'm lost! lol

It really sounds like things are looking up for the whole division.
In the letter I got today my SR is really starting to sound upbeat. He starting to talk about the light at the end of the tunnel. It sounds like the RDC's are even lightening up a bit. He was talking about new workouts but that the RDC's were making it fun. I hope everyone gets there letter, this might be a good Letter for everyone.

I got two letters today also, well on letter and a questionnaire. He sounded good, I was glad to see that. He said he ordered 10 div t-shirts!! He is a very generous person, I have tried to tame him of that a little but it is sweet too! I think he bought one for each of his recruiters and family members!! I think he must have worked on the letter for a while because it had several dates on it! lol

Thats the way my letters have been. I think it's because they get Tuesday and Thursday 25 minutes to write but letters still only get sent out on Sunday.

What a fantastic idea about the prepaid envelope! I may use your idea if you don't mind. They certainly have a lot to do this coming week. Final PFT tomorrow. My daughter decided to go in as an undesignated airman but I think they are pushing her to go into a specific rate already because of some of the strengths she's exhibited. She really didn't know what she wanted to do so this would give her up to a year to try various rates and pick one that really suited. So if nothing has changed she is going to Pensacola, Florida. Here's to our SR's!

I sent my SR a prepaid envelope yesterday. He said he was running out of room to store letters... LOL. Oops.
