Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 313 & 314. These two divisions will be training together from the start to BS21, their final test.
Tags:
I received a letter from my son yesterday. The division did pass their inspection but with a very low score. He said there is still a lot of yelling going on and that they are still receiving extra PT. He said most of their training is complete. Now they will be doing drill practices and testing. Must have been a rough week, as his letter stated he sure didn't make any friends this week. When the RDC's ask if they needed extra PT, he said yes. He said he just lost it, because he was tired of the ones not following orders. I asked myself if this was really my son. I wouldn't want anything extra at this point. Keep praying for our SR's. They are very busy and now it is time for them to use the skills that they have learned. Hang in there Moms, we are close to countdown.
Thank you for posting this update. My SR is in division 313 and he sounded great in his last letter. He too can not understand why people just will not listen....I sure hope they all (both divisions) pull together before battleships..they need that team work to pass...
Another week down for them so here's hoping they had a much better week. It is getting down to the wire, so hopefully they all realize this and pull it together for BS. Pretty sure they have completed the gas chamber by now and I hope that went well. I have been worried about that since I starting watching the videos on it. They are all in my thoughts and prayers. I can't wait to be able to sit down with my SR and hear all about everything. I am guessing they haven't been able to make phone calls because of their low scores?
Did anyone get letters today? I usually get my letters on Thursday. I'm hoping to hear that 313 has completed their final PFA by now. If anyone has confirmation of that, please reply. Thanks!
I usually get a letter on Wednesday but no letter today. I hope maybe tomorrow.
Letters yesterday, very brief but tone of letter changed, tired and excited !!!
JUST GOT A PHONE CALL!!! so i was driving when i got a call from my aunt doing a 3 way from my fiance at bootcamp. HE is all done and getting ready for gradution.
