I'm just wondering who the N4Ms are who have SRs in this Division.  Hopefully we will be getting mail/calls and can share the information.

Mike God bless your heart :) thank you so much for that information it did more then help. THANK YOU ALL for the information, it does more than answer my questions cause it puts my busy mind at ease.

Surprise phone call today! yeah!  We got to talk for 20 miniutes or so and he called both Dad and Mom at different places!  Hope you all got to talk to your SR today also!

Yes!  He called his fiance, then called me.  He tried home first & got me on my cell.  He said everyone is sick -- there were so many questions that I completely forgot all of them.  Any word about div 215 and how they are doing?

My SR said they are down from 80 something recriuts to 68 so it must be really hard.  He was sick also.

Yikes!  My SR is the PO to pack up those leaving.  He said he's had to do one a day and expected more.  Wow it is really tough -- Tomorrow is Sunday so they will get a little rest.  My SR said he shined his shoes for 45 minutes?  (Hard to believe-- but maybe not!)

IM not a mom just a girlfriend but my boyfriend is in div 215 and he called also friday and he said that he was sick too! I have been so worried about him but he did say that there was some good guys in there and that they had been working hard =)

Navygirl55 I`m a girlfriend aswell :) & our boyfriends are in the same DIV. It`s good to see more people commenting from the same DIV.

Im glad too see that your not a navy mom either =)) can you believe we only have 20 days??!!

Anyone who gets a letter or call from Div 215, please let us know how they are doing.  This is supposed to be a tough week for them.

When I read this my heart sank BUT I know that they will toughen it out and pull through! :) I went straight to writing him an encouraging letter that I will be sending tomorrow. Even if I don`t receive anything from him until the "I am a sailor" call, I`m gonna continue to write him encouraging letters. If I don`t get his letters tomorrow then I know why. I`m so thankful for the ones who are on here to inform those who don`t know. But still I pray for letters and or a call from our Sailors! 23 MORE DAYS! WE CAN DO IT! ^_^ God Bless.

DEEnJAY -- there's a link in the list of discussions about that happens each week.  You'll have to click on view all to see it.  They are supposed to have lots of inspections and tests this week.  My SR even mentioned it in his letter that this week will be tough but he said he was ready!  I've been sending a letter each day and in it lots of encouragement.  These days will make them the best sailors they can be and prepare them for the fleet.  Division 215 is going to shine!

:) Well said NancyS & yeah I`ve already checked that link & wrote down the information. It reallys helps to know what our SRs are going through each week. YES 215 is going to SHINE! ^_^ GOD BLESS.
