DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

We got a letter yesterday from our SR, very upbeat, He said the division is doing great! They are up for “The Hall of Fame Award”
6-1 We are having personal inspection / zone inspection. They will be inspecting us, racks, office, the head and the laundry room. It’s going to be a long day
6-2 We are having our final PFA Physical Fitness Assessment, then more firefighting.
6-3 Test #3 with more firefighting.
6-4 This is a really big day, our last inspection which is a drill inspection then a test on fire fighting, hands on.
6-5 He said I’m not sure what we are doing; all it said was RDC Training Time and Academic Study. Maybe getting ready for BS. He said they are looking forward to BS, he said, it’s going to be fun.
After that they would get ready to Graduate

I'm a list maker and I am starting my "Going to my son's PIR" list. I have his cell phone, charger, laptop (he asked for it). Is there anything else that he or I haven't thought of that would be helpful for him to have in A school? (That can be taken on the plane in a backpack?)

Hi Joyce, I got a call yesterday from my SR (Div 140). They are all doing good.
They start battlestations tonight and will probably be up for the next 36 hours. We should get a phone call Thursday from our SR. -
