Anyone hear that there is a bad stomach virus going around the ships? As if the testing next week isn't going to be hard enough...

Hi Nannette6209,
My husband mentioned about that stomach virus in his letter last Wed and some sort of sore eyes...Praying, it won't get worst.
Does anyone knows when is their final PFA?

@CWeimar..my brother wrote in his letter last week that he was in the medical office for a while. it seems as though everyone is catching it, but he was fine in this weeks letter. I am not sure when the final PFAs are, but I have heard about BS.
Also, idk if anyone here has the RTC on facebook, but they posted pictures of recruits on the USS Hopper yesterday. My brother wasn't in any of the pictures :(, but maybe someone here may be more lucky! -

Oh, thanks for the reply Aly marie. My son isn't very good about writing and I appreciate the info. Sounds as though there are a few bugs going around our group. I hope they are all feeling well and ready to work together for their last test.
I did see the pictures from the USS Hopper. It was great to see a little of what they are learning.

Hello Ship3Div171, I was super excited to get a letter and a phone call from my SR yesterday. He said as a group they are all working really hard and close to meeting a big goal. He sounded really upbeat and excited for BS. Only one more week left! YIPEE!
