Not sure how you add discussion groups. I was able to add the Group Pre-Buds to my profile. Perhaps the veteran moms know.

I'm still happy!!! I called my niece and asked her to come over to read his letters. I've read them to my parents and his siblings and I've invited his friends to come over and read them. I want to share my joy with the world! Here's some info.
My son says the guys in 816 are really cool. He says they talk about how they need to work together as a team. They discussed what they each needed to work on and how they need to get their fundamentals down so they can do better. They discuss both the positive and the negative. He says everyone is motivated and dedicated. They've had their first swim and PST already. They had marched almost 2 miles to their current ship with their sea bags on their backs. He threw in, "It wasn't hard. I'm just giving you details." He mentioned people getting sick, signing up for bank accounts and the Montgomery G.I. Bill. They had their first mail day. It was a bad day because he had only slept a bit due to being woken up for another 2 hour watch. When he and the others found out they had letters, everyone got excited. So. write to your SRs as often as possible. He says the best part about BC is wearing the uniform, Taps (means sleep), when they can talk, letter writing, and SLEEP. When they sing or sound off, their division is so loud that it can be felt in the chest. When they are working out and finish a set, the RDC will tell them to relax and they say, "NO, YOU CAN'T HURT THIS!!!" Haha. :)

I probably didn't explain the PST numbers correctly. The numbers I posted were not my sons. They were the very best numbers achieved by 5 different guys in the 816 Division for each event Swim -7:45, push-ups -123, Sit ups-91, pull-ups-27, run-7:55. I thought it was interesting to see just how strong these boys are!! Amazing!!
