None for me either!!!! ~~~sigh~~~
Got two more letters from Matt today.
Letter dated 4/10/12 - Had their individual and division pictures taken. They got their Military IDs issued, said they were cool and it was a good feeling to get them.
Letter dated 4/13/13 - They had their tear gas exercise. Sounds like all survived it. Start Firefighting exercises this week. Also shared what he believes will be their Battlestations date but I know I can't share this on this forum, sorry.
Hi Mattsmama, thanks for the update, I have been wondering when they would do the tear gas exercise and the firefighting exercises. I would love to know when they will complete the battlestations. I dont want to miss that call. Any word on the captians cup? I would guess that will be this weekend?
No call for me last week either:(-thought they might get one but I guess not. Thanks for the update MattsMama-I have been getting my mail on Wednesdays. Getting so close now!
One week and 1 day then it's off to Great Lakes. :) She is carrying the S. Carolina flag and is either beside or behind Maryland depending on how they are lined up.
Hello. has anyone identified their SR in the photos on the RTC facbook page titled April 17th Random Photos. There is one picture where you can clearly see a 92, the third number is folded over.
I saw that. I was thinking 923rd maybe. The 3rd number looks like it is rounded at the bottom. Looking at their flags and the flags attached (or whatever the correct term for them is) to the top of them it gave me impression that they were getting ready to graduate.
It actually may be 925 or 926. I was comparing some of the other pictures. They do not have as many pennants/flags on top of their flags as Div 131 does which graduates 4/27. They are further along then some of the other div pictures but still have less than those actually graduating in next couple weeks. Of course I could be wrong. Either way I don't believe it is 924.
If you did not see my post on page 10 here, please check it out. There is a link to pictures on Facebook from a mother whose son's PIR was last Friday. I most definitely can identify my son on snare drum.
got letters today. said gas chamber was a tough one. doing fire training this week and last PFA and tests this week also. she also said they was quite a bit of yelling and is so looking forward to graduation! They had fun time at 4/13 PIR, but when liberty was called and all the graduating sailors got to be with their family was tough
In a week, they will be much happier and so will WE!!!!!
