That is what I was thinking but I get confused on the Saturday's - do they count those in the mix? I know Sunday is an "off" day. When I got my call last Tuesday my son told me 2-5 too, so would today be 4-1?
Which week is considered "hell week?" Confidence Chamber?

I forgot they did the gas chamber, sounds like hell!! lol I don't understand the flag stuff either.
I was also wondering, I was reading somewhere that they have to sign a waiver that they won't discuss what happens at Battlestations or whatever that is. (I don't know if I have that right) but is that true and if so is it that bad?
