For the first time in my life,. I have to say I hate the weekend. Once Saturday comes, I get letters in the mail and that means no more until Tuesday,. Have to wait 3 whole days! I'm loving this getting letters Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays! My husband said boot camp is not hard, the physical activity isn't bad, the yelling isn't bad either, they only get yelled at when they don't listen so as long as they all listen everything is a breeze. He unfortunetly said he does not like the Division he was placed in,. I guess on a few occasions they have been told that they are the worst division they have ever seen. I'm sure it's part of it though right?? They probably say that to them all to make them work harder to do better?? I hope anyway. 20 days left! How exciting =)

my last letter said the same thing, she said they rolled up their Drill flag and told them they didnt deserve to earn it. The RDC's are all really mad at them and are threatening to change divisions. & one RDC is super mean. My husband said thats the exact same thing they did to his division 30 years ago! and my son also said they did it to his division 8 years ago. I asked them if everyone "bought into it" and they both said, yes, most fo them did! lol I feel so bad for them!!! But yes, its just a process to get them to work harder and to come together as a team. It must work or they wouldnt contintue to do it all these decades.
I dont know who I'd rather not be, the poor recruits or the RDC that have to carry out that role play!

Hi Everyone....Only 19 more days...can't wait...I received a couple of letters last week, but he didn't mention "Hell Week" at all, he probably figures I would not know what it was and he probably didn't want to explain it to me. Last week was so busy for me at work, I didn't get a chance to go shopping till yesterday. Well I went to so many stores trying to get the stuff to make the ribbons, I didn't find the letters I was looking for, but settled on what I could find. I can't wait for the next letter, so I can find out the job he will get at his A school. Have a great week, hopefully it flys by with lots of letters for everyone!

Hi All! I received a letter today, it was dated last Thursday the 26th. She said she thinks she did good at live fire, but they havent given them their score. Div 072 got their score that day but that they always get their stuff before 071. Also, they took their pictures Thursday and their ID pictures which they will get next week. She said they had to turn in the order for their picture packages right away. I hope she ordered enough pics lol I'm sure we'll be able to re-order them later...hopefully.
That's all she had time for, she said next letter goes out Monday (Today). Hope you all get something today too!

I also got a letter today (which is weird because I usually get it Tuesdays) My husband spoke of everything Tish mentioned, but I guess he got to hear a little bit about his orders. He leaves early Saturday morning but doesn't have to report to ASchool for two weeks? So what does he do for those two weeks he is just sitting in Texas waiting to start school? ( I asked you via Facebook Tish =P) He was hoping maybe he could fly home or I could fly down there (which would work perfect because we need to get this power of attorney thing situated and would be easier if he was with me) Any one know? I'm clueless
