Welcome to our group fairhopedaisy62!!! We are small, but mighty :). Great to have a new Mom on board! As for letters, I only have the two & a survey response, so I wouldn't worry too much - it sounds like you guys made contact & he is doing well!
Just an FYI team, that I had a heads up from a current sailor that as a push division, we might not get the call - which would really suck, but I guess the 'making it' is the most important thing! I am trying to prepare myself for that possibility, so thought I would mention it here......... -

What is a push Division? Thank you for welcoming me in!

It is nice to be a part of the families here. Just as our sons and daughters have to encourage each other so should we. I hope we do get the call! I am on edge waiting.

I'm new here and have been following along and I would just like to say, My daughter cried once when she felt like she was letting her team down in week 1, since then she cried another time and that's when another S.R.'s feelings were hurt!!!! So they do care about each other and there is no reason for us here to be bad mouthing anyone! Were all in this together!!!!! Thank you for letting me vent :)

Don't worry everything will be alright with your daughter. My son is in div 340 and if you could have known him , he was very timid and shy, but i am sure he is not now. He said that he is okay mentally and physically.When he called home he said he was home sick and i am sure at that time he wondered why he had joined. But he is off to new adventures as so is your daughter. It is funny that the Petty Officers are now there Mother, Father, Teachers. Remember when we use to tell them when to get up, eat, and brush their teeth.We will continue praying for all of them to be a team.

Good Morning Everyone,
I am super proud and excited and looking forward to Sept 6. I received a 4th letter from my daughter yesterday and couldn't be more proud than ever. She passed the shooting test with sharpshooter ribbon. She passed her 3 inspections with 2 being perfect scores of 5.0 and the 3rd with a 4.9 score. She said out of 1000+ recruits, 2 are selected from each division to interview with senior chief & chiefs. And out of the 30 they interviewed, 6 are selected to win superior sailors awards. My daughter won an award and will be in the newspaper and get announced at graduation. She then ends the letter by saying all thanks to me for raising her to always do her best and that she loves me and hope I'm proud of her. I am EXTREMELY PROUD. Can't wait to see her. Just had to share my happiness at this moment.
