That is great that you got such an upbeat letter. I got one to today. My SR said things are getting easier so that is great to hear. Today is day 1 , week 4 beginning of hell week-so ladies we better pray for our SR's because they got woke up at 3:30am to start their day.
Just a suggestion, the space that they store their incoming mail is very small. I sent my SR a large pre-addressed stamped envelope for him to send any mail that he has received. He said that was great because his area was getting crowded. I did send him stamps,envelopes and paper in that envelope.
Well today is the day that my SR should be getting my pre-printed motivational letters to hand out to div 47 and 48. I hope with the stress of hell week it will get to them when they need it the most. I don't know when the RDC's will allow him to distribute them. He might have to wait until Friday, when they have holiday routine.
Hope you all had a nice Christmas and got your phone calls from your SR's on Christmas eve.

I think I am going to do the pre-addressed large envelope to send letters back for her and send some paper, envelopes and stamps with it!

That's ok, we will win our division a picture next week on Trivia Tuesday that way we can have a picture of our guy and girls. If you go to Facebook and type Navy Recruit Training Command that is where on Tuesday at noon Chicago time they post the question. Hope you had a nice Christmas. Did you get a chance to talk to your daugther on Christmas Eve?

Yes I did...It was so wonderful. I had my son from Detroit on my phone and she called dad's phone and we put both on speaker and had a conference call, lol. It was awesome. She is worried that I have not got a room yet but I told her that God has a plan and I am not worried. The pic of the boys is great. Scrap booking, here I come.

I am a scrapbooker too. I gave my son a massive scrapbook right before he left that spanned from birth to taking his Navy oath.

29 days to go to PIR, very exciting. Today is day 3, week 4 of their "hell week". I am glad they have holiday routine tomorrow thru Monday and then Tuesday will be day 4, week 4. The extra time will give them time to study for their "Test 2" next Wednesday.

Hell week is very emotional but my daughter says that it is not so bad. It is making people focus on working as a team. Their hard out shell sometimes needs to be broken down because some do not know how to drop it down when necessary. I know that afterwards your SR's will feel such an accomplishment.

Do you know why they have holiday routine tomorrow (Friday)? I would have just thought Sat - Mon.
