No, only those divisions whose recruits indicate they are NOT in Ship 11. Apparently, sometimes they are scheduled to be housed in a certain ship and then for some reason, they are assigned to a different ship. So, when they are in processing days (where they are housed in a separate location) and filling out the form letter, they are told one ship. And then, when they move to their permanent boot camp location, it is another ship. But the RTC folks indicated that as long as the division number is on the letters, they will make it to them.

Yes, that's the address I have. There's nothing better than a letter from your SR, even if it's short.

I believe they will be starting Week 4 this week. I read somewhere to ask your SR in a letter what Week/Day they are on.

Hello Everyone,
My husband got to basic on July 5th. We're still kind of newlyweds so it's been really hard being without him. I've written him a letter every single day since he left haha. He said the letters keep him going though so that's good. He's passed everything except for some swimming thing that he said was really hard to do. I've gotten three letters, but I haven't gotten a phone call yet. The only one I've gotten was the short phone call when he first got there. He said the people in his division don't know how to close their mouths so that must be why he hasn't been able to call. His graduation date is Aug 26th. What all do I need to know before planning to go to his graduation? Since his A-school is in Great Lakes he will process after graduation and then be able to see me Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday right?

Yes! After he moved over from the boot camp side to the A school side, you'll get time with him on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm very jealous! What in particular do you need to know about graduation?

Oh that's great news thank you! Um someone had said something about a test that I should make sure I know the date of?
