I wonder what losing it entails...have also read some other place that some people were booted out, so to speak.
Don't know if that means they are sent home or just back to the end of the line.

No Dear, I believe Wednesday is the last day of trainig week 4 ( hell week). So next Thursday they"ll start week 5. Sat and Sun don't count, so again the folowing week will begin Thursday after that. Battle stations I understand are on week 6, day 5 , so it would be April 24th for this group accordingly.
Anybody who knows better, please correct me.

I think they start week 5 day 1 this Thurs. 4/11/13. However, these are "weeks in training" we are talking about. If your SR arrived 3/5 or there about, this is there 6th week at Great Lakes. The 1st week is just processing and the training days are only week days, weekends don't count as training days. So, they have been at the Recruit Training Command for 5 weeks and this would be their 6th week. Hope this makes sense.

I received a letter today, it was quick, short and to the point. He sounded excited and is counting down as he said it seems time is going by faster. Like everyone else said they are super busy, Said they are doing marksmanship training with the pistol and he's loving it. Hoping to earn ribbons or medals from his uniform this week. Geezz if I only knew to do that to get him to keep a neat and clean appearance while he was growing up.lol Guess that boot training is working for my yungin' :) I'm so proud of him !
Hope everyone else gets a letter or call this weekend too. (3) more Thursdays.. Yay!!

They are doing well with inspections and really well at drill. They will look mighty fine on May 3rd. Seems to be a great division, and can see a big improvement in his letter writing. Hoping for call they got a perfect on zone inspection so hopefully they have earned a call this weekend!
