DaytonMom/Dad: Any idea of which flag? In my last phone call my son said the division was doing exceptionally well. (His definition might just mean they stopped talking so much.) Of course that was over a week ago and things change fast, especially now; they seem to be getting more competitive with each other.

CruAn: My son said they are doing well as a divison( 088) also! They won the Scholastics Award flag!!!

Yeah my son mentioned almost breaking some type of record too! Didn't clearly understand what he was talking about though lol.He said they might have a chance on earning an extra hour of Liberty time?!?!?! That would be great! I am so proud of all of them. The count down has really begun now. Time for parking passes!

Hello everymom(one)! Late to find the website--leave it up to a mom going through her son in basic for AirForce to let me in on the support groups out there.
I have a son, Devin in Ship 04 Div 087; going onto Penn, Fla after PIR.
We live in a suburb of Chicago, anyone traveling from the south for graduation--bring clothes!!! Its in the 0-12 degree weather here right now. My 10 day says that weather will be around the mid 20's for grad time.
Hoping to meet some of you--or your sons!
Wendy

I added a discusion to the SWCC group today, to help the family and loved ones of the members of SWCC class 75-1 to make friendships and unite together in one location.
If you had a son or loved one with a SWCC contract PIR from BC on 01Feb2013 out of Div 804 or 805 consider joining this discussion in the SWCC group.
