Got a journal type letter today!!!
Here goes:
Dated April 10, 14 and 15
She said Hell Week wasn't bad, just very busy. Their Division had a zone inspection while they were doing SAMT (small arms something??), when they came back it was like a tornado had come through!
She said they finally finished their divisional flag (she is so proud of herself!) and that she has ordered a hoodie and t-shirt with it on them. (I want one too!!)
Live fire was "a blast" (that's my girl!) 2 of them earned "Expert"!
They flagged their drill inspection and Test 2 (not sure what that is) so they earned a pennant that means they can march without the RDC's and can actually sing Cadence! (They are all proud of themselves!)
They got their dress whites, dress blues and "peanut butters"!
Pictures taken
Practicing for PIR performance THIS FRIDAY!! (and the next 2)
They made a bet with Chief that if they received less than 3 UNSATs on all of their inspections during hell week, they would get to go to "Recruit Heaven"!! (NEX) They had "0" UNSATs!! That is where she went crazy talking about FB and Subway! AND PHONES! (I have my fingers and toes crossed that they actually get to make calls!) She thinks it will be Saturday!!! I CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT!!!!!! UHG!
Man, I miss her so much, but her letters lift my spirits all the way to the moon!

best phone call of my life! here is what i posted on the main comment part:
Just got off the phone with my SR! The call me made extremely happy, becuase of reasons that are to confusing to write about lol. He didn't even mention gas chamber :O guess it was fine since he is alive! haha. My boyfriend is also extremely sick, im gonna guess sinuses(maybe). He said graduation went well and they took a lot of pictures of the division performing, hopefully we get a lot of pictures !(: and he also mentioned they didn't call on saturday because they had ricky heaven taken away from them, i guess because the division fell apart as a team on possible friday and they weren't allowed to go to food courts tonight because the RDC said they are all gaining weight, haha. In addition my SR said after battlestations they get to call alot that week because they won't have anything to do, so lets hope that last week we get lots of calls (: eeppp.

Mine called! They have EVERY FLAG now! Ordered their pics, so that's been done. They were told they did not get Honor Division, 1 person messed up real bad, and it cost them the Honor Division. He lost 12 pounds, and he had no room to lose even 1 pound when he left home. Says he also lost all his muscle. :( Not enough sleep ever, Done with gas chamber, can't wait for Captains Cup and PIR.
Vehicle Gate Passes will be available tomorrow.
