You're so lucky SeeShell! I didn't get a letter on Thursday, but I'm hoping for one today. His letters (I've only received 2 so far) have been short and haven't mentioned any names. He says he irons about 30 minutes a night and he feels like he's on an episode of Lost with so many rules and responsibilities.
I can't wait to get home tonight and check the mail.

I know everyone says no news is good news, but my son says that while their division is starting to work together, there are still some people who need to get their acts together. Hope they aren't all being punished for others mistakes!

I'm so sorry to those that didn't get a letter, my son is in 311, we received letters from him this week. He sounds really happy said they're working together better, but still need improvement. They have earned several flags, scholastic flag, athletic flag & (almost)star flag...so, that's encouraging to hear!!! My son also found out his A school is 27-33 weeks versus 17 like the recruiter had told us, but were happy about that! My SR is a section leader & he had to do extra PT by himself b/c one of his guys didn't shave properly & another didn't shave at all...hope they get that worked out!!! Still no phone call, but I can tell things are much better & he said he's having a great time!!

I got a letter from my son today. He has taken his PFA 2 times and can't seem to pass. He did 73 sit ups and 65 push ups but failed the run by 50 seconds :(. He was sick for a while and could not PT, just march so I hope he can strengthen up and pass. The RDC's will run with them and/or put them with a faster group to push them so they can pass. He says he doesn't think he will get set back (I hope not I have my plane ticket). The "I'm a Sailor" call should come on the 21st. They start BS21 the night before at 20:30 and go for 12 hours. After the capping ceremony in the morning they get to make the call. I just need him to pass the PFA!

Im sure he will be able to pass dont worry. My son failed his running the first time and i got a letter today also saying he passed with a minute left. I hope he is feeling better. Right now im sure all of them are doing more than they ever thought they could do. We will all be at the 9/28 graduation...
