Lovely day All and sorry I haven't blogged in awhile,

My daughter is in div 183 also. got 2 calls from her each lasted over 30 minutes...YES! amazing...from what I gathered everyone is doing well except for a few got colds and flu but nothing to be worried about. i cant believe that we are 24 days, only 3 Thursdays left..lol. From what I've gathered, bootcamp is intense and it really requires a lot of team effort. But she said that getting letters is heaven to them so please WRITE as many times as we can. pls. pls. pls :-)

I'm so excited to find out the Airmen came to speak to them and now are sponsoring our division (183) and my daughter selected to help design the division's flag. She said that they're theme name is "The Avengers" and she gets to help design & write on the flag. Fly, Sail and Avenge..so proud of her (I guess her artistic talent is paying off). I'm a proud mama :-) have a great day all!

Question: Is there a meet and greet at the Navy lodge? we will arrive the day before and I have no idea on what to expect there? Thanks :-)

Mom here with concerns, any one on Hopper that might be able to ask how female recruit SR H is doing, I would greatly appreciate it. Not getting much information, what I am getting doesn't make a lot of sense. Thank you, in advance.
