Hi everyone,
I received letters today, so exciting!!!! They sound like they are being worked but good, but my son is sounding good and sounds like things are going the right way. I hope many of you, if not all of you with SR's in this Ship/Div have received letters as well. They are working super hard, but are starting to come together as a team. My son too also passed his first PST, yah!!!!
God bless ladies!!!

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me where I can find a sample of what happens each week while in Boot Camp? I remember seeing something on this website that showed Week One is Processing Wee, Week Two they learn how to embark and disembark, etc. I think Week 6 is Battlestations. I read Week 4 and Week 6 are supposed to be the hardest. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I would like to show it to my husband. Thanks everyone for the help!

We received our son's phone call on Wednesday and letter on Thursday--a very good week for us! He sounds positive and enthusiastic (except for the part about BC feeling like prison :). Best parts of his letter? "Please keep praying for me and supporting" and "I don't know where else I'd rather be." Things a mom loves to hear.
