Thanks so much for the info - my son is in Ship 09 - Division 166. I got my 3rd letter last Thursday and it was wonderful. I love seeing his handwriting on the envelope - I've never seen it so neat. It was great to hear about them passing the Marlin Spike - Congrats!

I got a letter & mothers day card from my Sailor yesterday!!! Her letters are so enthusiastic!! She said they had live fire this wk (which was last wk), firing 9mm & 12 gauge shot gun. Test 2 & drill assessment next. They are trying to get Hall Of Fame (Flame)!! Good luck to Ship 09 Div 166!!!!! My card was beautiful!!! Couldn't stop crying.. she missed the 1st call home, because she was on watch. I really NEED to hear her voice :/ I miss my baby girl so much!!!!

Our SRs got their Drill Flag and a scholastic pennant last Wednesday! They also earned Independent Esteem meaning they did so well on drill that they march on their own, without an RDC and the Guidon gets a "mellow pennant." Hooyah 166!

That is so good to hear. My daughter was worried that they would not get the drill flag. She really wanted to be able to march on their own.

Has anyone bought their SR a graduation gift yet?? I've seen charm bracelets, watches, rings, coins.. haven't made my mind up yet. Does anyone on here know of any other unique gifts??
