Ship 7/Div 357
I just found out my son is in Ship 7/Div 357. I would love to get to know other parents whose SRs are in the same division!

Got a second letter from my SR. He wrote a letter to each of his brothers also. He stated that they are able to mail letters out sun,tues, and thurs. They are able to receive mail daily. My parents also received a letter from him today. He confirmed that your son (Diana) is in the same div as him. Of the 92 in the div less than half passed their first PT Test but said they all should by the 2nd test. Didn't have much training before hand so it was like a benchmark. He stated the weather got cold like our texas winter for a few days but got warmer again. He said one guy was out due to drug test came back positive. Only 3meals a day so they get hungry. Bootcamp sucks because RDCs yell all the time and he's glad he not a section leader but feels bad for them because some of the guys could really try harder to follow their instructions. He said it's not hard just feels like you're a freshman getting initiated and can't wait for 10/28.

Hello,
My neighbor/friend's son left on Sept 1 and has PIR on 10/28 and is Ship 7/Div 357. She only has computer access at work and can not log on to this site. Therefore I will represent her and him. My son left to bootcamp 4/5/11, PIR 6/3/11, and my nephew left 4/19/11 so I've recently survived BC, PIR, Training, etc... Please feel free to ask me anything. I have another nephew leaving in February, so I should be a pro by then!! I can tell you my son is very happy with his decision and is loving life in San Diego California!!! My question is, does anyone know when Battlestation is for this division yet? Thanks!

Got a letter from our SR. He wrote s specific letter to his dad also since he missed the call early this week. They had a very hard week. Many broke down in tears. Talked about their 3 RDCs. I'm glad I had prior service to prepare him a bit on how much they yell and make you feel so below dirt level. His quote "do they really have to swear in every sentence". He is thankful for our prayers because he knows that is how they will pull through this. Believing in God and believing in each other.

I feel so bad for all of them!! You are right, as long as they believe in each other and God they will get through this together.

If any of you guys hear about how the second PT test went please post here. My son didn't not pass the first one and I know he is very worried about passing the second one. I am very worried also.
