Well I received a letter today (a day early) - YEA. My SR is doing great. He said "Hell" week is over and they are getting ready for firestations and gas chamber. He is actually looking forward to it. He told me he received a ribbon for sharpshooter with a 9mm pistol!! That was cool. He said to be on alert because they wil be able to call soon too - so be aware!! LOL :)

My SR got that same ribbon!! And he said that they passed all of their inspections and got flags for it! Buuut, he did get put in SIQ for a couple days and on LLD for this past weekend. So that was a bummer for him. But he took his physical test anyways and told him that he did a good job :) God bless him, I hope he feels better. He has an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection...which makes me surprised that he could do well on his physical test. And he mentioned the picture on facebook, too! Better get some Battlestations info pretty quick! I'm getting anxious! Lol!

It won't be long now until you get to see your recruits or should I say Sailors? Captains cup will be a week from this Saturday and that is a great day for them to just have fun and relax a little bit. And usually the winners get an extra phone call and that is always good so good luck to all your recruits :-)
I have had a bunch of messages from people wanting to know if it is too late to order ribbons and I thought it would be easier to tell you here rather than email each person separately. It is not too late to order the ribbons to wear to PIR. Just click on my name and send me a friend request if you want more info. Thanks, I have all your recruits in my prayers <3

Friend request sent! I should have done it sooner but kept forgetting! Thanks Lala!

you are welcome, I sent you the info. I am heading to bed now, just send me back the info I need and let me know how you are paying. If you pay with payPal tonight I will have your ribbons finished and in the mail by tomorrow afternoon :-) Have a good night.

Eagerly awaiting today's graduation pictures to be posted to the RTC FB page. I hope there's plenty of pictures of 942. Especially since I'm too slow @ Trivia Tuesday!

No FB pictures of Div 942 they were all 941. maybe next week!! :) Maybe we will get calls tonight - my SR told me to be on alert!! LOL

941 also performed at last weeks PIR & they graduate next week. I believe 942 is more of a "staff" division. Body snatchers, rail guards, door openers, etc. If you know what your sons job is, it might be easier to spot him. He might be hidden in the back. I know where my son should be, but he's behind other SRs.
