Hi Ladies!
Got a couple letters from my SR. He said the division has started to come together and that they "flagged" their first test. Anyone know what that means?
Thanks! Amy

I'm so proud of them! I'm still trying to figure out a lot of this...like the flags. I wonder if those are something they keep up until graduation? Anyway, congrats to all our SRs : )

My son Michael said their DIV was the laughing stock until they got their flag. There are 15 Divisions and 4 have received flags as of last Monday. He said they were the worst DIV until they won the flag. They were marching in formation in front of their brother DIV when their Petty Officer Westscott decided to mess with their brother DIV and did a reverse march. So they were about 15 ft. apart marching toward each other and the brother DIV broke rank because they thought they would march into each other. Soon as they messed up they reversed again and marched away in perfect formation. LOLOLO. He said it was awsome. That was why they got the extra phone call Monday. I think this really helped them pull together as a team.

Lynne,
That's what my SR said about their marching too...so awesome!! I would have loved to see that, LOL! It's funny how something like that can suddenly turn them around...pun intended :D Isn't it great to know they're having some fun too?

Ladies,
This is awesome news. That is why my SR was in such a great mood. He was even laughing with whomever was in the room with him while they were on the phone. I can't believe how good he sounded. I would have also loved to see this too.

Hello Lady's did any one get a phone call this week ?
-

Same here...I don't think we'll get any call for awhile unless they really do something extraordinary. I'm definitely in countdown mode for graduation! Has anyone heard of any fun things to do, or places to go, with our SRs after graduation?
