from what the Veterans are saying it sounds like our division is one of the first  to go and it usually is Thursday night and receiving calls the 29th. But be sure to ask you SR and try and get a answer then share together hopefully we will be ready one of the Veterans started a discussion on BS 21 I read it. Pretty good info.
They are also on the Random pics June 28th I think #5 photo on FB.  How did I miss this!
no he is CT or tech something. he will be going to a school in pensacola. now i know bs21---wow! i am learning so much myself.
Ladies -  Thanks for keeping me updated.
There is a photo of our SR's on the Navy Recruit Training Command Facebook page it is in the Random pictures on July 19 it is the 6th photo.  I can see my son in the photo. 
That is fantastic!!!!!!
My SR wrote today, stating that they got 6 flags and 2 penants. Way to go Ship 11 Div. 244! I think he wrote that they were having pictures taken on Saturday but with his handwriting who knows what day it is. They got 4.18 on MCA drill the other day and I believe someone said that 5.0 is perfect so they are doing great. Maybe video games pay off because he has never shot a gun before and he got sharpshooter @ live fire, "almost expert", he states. Hell week is finally over! This week is Fire fighting for 4 days. My son is the short one in front holding the flag, so proud of him.

That is so good lady's    and sistersue my SR said the same thing about Fire Fighting so lets still be in prayer for 11-244 . and as I say all the time To GOD BE THE GLORY.

Can someone please tell me the meaning of the flags and if there is a link about them on this website. 

 

I believe there gain flags by how well the do in competitions. No sure how though.

Marcie there is information on the flags on the RTC facebook page from yesterday. Someone asked the question "Is there a site on the flags and what they are for?" Due to OpSec, I am not sure if I can copy to this site, so you may want to check it out. I think that our div has won at least 6 flags, but not sure which ones they are.

 

@ Sistersue I looked at the picture and I think my son is the one with the orange vest. It looks a lot like him! Thank you!

Anyone know how to enlarge the photo?? I am so proud of this division!!! Go Guys!!
