Let's nail this Tuesday Trivia as a Team and earn a Div 266 picture...... Let's Go Navy Let's Go 2-6-6 !!! Hoorah !!!
happy you all got a call!
i sadly didnt....the RDCs told them to wrap it up while he was talking to his girl.
so yesterday was a lil hard...but knowing the division is working hard as a whole and that they earned the calls makes me proud of all our SRs! :)
30 days till PIR!!
HOOOYAH!!!

omg HUGS tight sent to you...momma'o.

They earned a Flag and looks like they got a second one also!

They are still adjusting to being a TEAM but flags are wonderful signs!

 

Did everyone see the DIV photo posted yesterday?!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1275735000#!/media/set/?set=...

should be the first photo in the set

They said it was 266 but I see females in the front and my son said Div 266 is male only. Can someone confirm this? I noticed a few pictures down what seriously looked like my son where he said he would be.... Its sad the clarity of some pics but Im still glad for even glimpses of ANY divisions... but I wont argue it in public on there unless the picture is much more clear. We all wish we could see our SRs and Id not pop that bubble for myself or any other family. Life is good....
I am pretty confident that 266 is in that photo. I think what we see is two divisions marching at the same time. Were the young man is toward the center of the pic with the orange vest is the end of the first division. I know i see my son in that pic and he is several guys behind the guy with the orange vest. If there are two divisions marching in that photo it would explain the girls in the front-they are with another division. My SR also said that they havnt finished thier flag yet which would explain why we dont see the second division carrying any flags. (of course this is my justification to the pic..may not be entirely accurate-but i have been picking my son out of marching band lines for four years and i am 97% sure that he is in that pic and he is in Div 266)
You are SOOOO cute! I was trying to convince myself a white kid was mine, and then again an African American kid was mine ! My son is Mexican! Ha!Ha!  Then you try to magnify the sucker,and it's like a BAD dream!..." WE JUST WANT TO SEE OUR BABIES!!! "

i thought i saw my son too..he has a tat..and im telling you i see it.

im just going with the "momma"gut..lol!!!!!

hoping for more pictures to pop up soon!!!!

 

This is just such a roller coaster ride, hu!? First  we waited for 'the kid in the box"... Then we were grateful for the three lines.We practically SLEPT under our mailboxes waiting for a 'REAL" letter...and most of us have gotten phone calls...NOW we want to see them in living color,even if it's just a darn picture!!....... MY but this group of Moms is greedy!!  Lol !!!!  P.S. I am president of the club!    (YAY SHIP 10 DIV 266 !!!)
Hi everyone, how do I join this group? I'm so happy to talk to other moms with kids in the same Div. I was holding my phone in a water proof zipped bag on the beach when I saw the area code calling me and knew it was my boy! I fought to open that stupid bag and then tried to answer through the bag and missed the call!!!!!!! I sobbed like a baby for an hour. My friends were sooo supportive but no one understood how broken hearted I was!!!! I wonder if he will get to call me again. To make it worse, when I got home he had sent a letter that said he had sooo much to tell me but he would do it on the phonecall! (which I missed:( )

Hi Coriesmom...I just wanted to tell you my heart is with yours! I also had my cell phone in a ziplock bag and almost missed my call...I fyou want to friend me ,I would love to talk to you....You are right..Other people just do not understand! Hang tough!

Coriesmom my heart goes out to you! Praying you get another call ASAP!!!
