I ordered it June 13th because I knew my SR worked on the design. You can e-mail US Navy RTC Grad Tees [navytees@gmail.com] to see how quickly they can get them done. They do the black ones inhouse which is what I received this week (7/27), but the gray ones I believe are sent as one big order and they aren't available before PIR. If you scroll back to the dialogue around June 10-13, you'll probably see where these were promoted and possibly find their website--I just went searching my old e-mails to get their address. I don't know if my SR wanted one, but since he was one of them working on the design, I ordered it.

So, I got a letter today. Can you say, CRANKY? He's stopped eating the food and survives on peanut butter, jelly and apples & cinnamon oatmeal. He said their div got a 4.8 out of 5 for their drill inspection and earned their final flag. The brother div got 3.5 with 15 hits. They are on their way to earning the Battle E flag. Their RDCs said they've never had a div do this well in only 6 1/2 weeks! We should all be proud!

This seems to be a bit of a hater comment. Now us 226 parents get to worry about this for the next few days. Thanks for sharing the great news.

Sorry, didn't mean it as such! This site is the 12/225 div and I wanted them to know that they are doing really, really well...not bashing because others are struggling. Please accept my apologies. This will all be over soon.

Even those who don't have SRs struggling with a PFA or float test are still stressed that they'll wrench an ankle or break something this last week! Ugh. It will be soo much better when they move on to A-school and we can talk to them and not try to read between the lines of their letters and these postings! Our SR's are brothers and will be doing BS together and they'll be AWESOME! We'll be praying each and everyone of them passes! I just wish they weren't doing it so late! Those lucky families that have SRs in lower divisions!

My SR thought Friday...but I've seen another posting where they thought it was today. No news is good news...and all that!
Someone posted that these last two weeks have been harder than the first two. I'm thinking they were right!
