Ship 03 Division 217 !!
We have a division!!! Yay, I am super excited to get to know you all that have our SR's in the same division!
Please introduce yourselves! (no last names :)
I am Sharon. My daughter Erin is 21 and she came to bootcamp from Iowa. I live by myself, work as a dog groomer and I have a broken toe. I miss Erin so much but things are looking up! Got her form letter today. Got an 'I love you :) " on the back! I am so glad to know that Erin isn't alone. She is digging deep and working hard every day, and has your loved ones to help each other, learn from each other, and they are together in missing us like crazy too. And being a veteran, I know, their days are getting better each day too.

My daughter was added 2 weeks ago to this division. I don't have a parking pass and am on pins and needles about her final PFA and test. She had failed both but she said her prior RDC targeted her rack and searched it even though other racks had things out in open that we're banned. . Also she was really struggling with her run and my son said a RDC would run with her to help her and no one did. She likes this division way better and says the RDC are much better so I am praying she passed this time. Her other RDC told the chief that she was not motivated enough and if she doesn't pass this time they would seperate her from the navy. She is very cute and has a very bubbly personality and it seems the RDC really targeted her. I'm hoping so much this DIV will help her. I'm hoping they don't seperate her and that is just the normal boot camp threat. I wish I could just relax and be excited to see her but instead this whole thing is just stressful
