My daughter is in Ship 11 Div 133 and I was so excited to get the form letter and a little note on the back from her.

Hi Melinda:
How is your girl?????? And how do you feel now????

I'm waiting for my letter....

Hey,

She sounded so good and her letters were great, she made me laugh and tear up and laugh some more.  She drew me a diagram of where she in in formation, it was funny.  I am getting more and more excited as the days go by.  I probably will drive my husband crazy before the day gets here to leave.  We are staying at the Navy Lodge, where are you staying?  We chose the Lodge because she wants us to bring her dog and they are pet friendly. 

Good afternoon Family:

 

We need to wear something that represent our Ship 11 Div 133 - PIR 4/27!!!

like what do we wear? do we make something or what?

I'm game, got any suggestions? 

Have you gotten any letters yet? My daughter didn't say anything about anything being wrong. She is 6' tall and said she was making friends with all the guys because of the heighth line.  Not many girls are 6'. 

How do we get the division's flag design if we want tee shirts made?

I received two letters a couple of days ago. My SR said 133 and 134 are in the same compartment and they are having some issues, he didn't elaborate on what kind of issues. He did say they have received 15 demerits so far and the average for this stage is 7 to 8, but since they are a double group, I guess it's double the demerits. But, he did say that he thinks things are beginning to work out. He added that there is a "pnuemonia front" and several SRs have been affected, but so far, he is feeling okay.

I received my first letter yesterday, the date is march 17, I feel really happy,

@ shinystuff  Oh no...just received my daughter's letter yesterday.  She did tell me her division 134 is a shared with division 133 - have to say she wrote that - She loves her division!! - Great groups!!  - Nice girls - helping each other.  I am bummed to hear about their demerits and some of them being sick. I hope all is good....they will come out of this and feel better.  Prayers to Div 133 and 134!!!

I am sorry I have to remove the last name on your post. Last names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on the N4M's site per the Community Guidelines and OPSEC (OPerational SECurity) I think shinystuff has it ;-).  I am praying you get a letter or call soon.
