The U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command FB page posted random photos of recruits today be sure and check to see if your Sailor is on there. I did not see Wyatt (Ship11Div396) so I was wondering if 395 or 396 are in those pics so please let me know if you see your Sailor. Thanks. I hope everybody is doing well & keeping their spirits up.... :)

I got a few letters from my daughter yesterday. She writes that Div 395 has been getting a lot of IT (intensive training). The RDC's are "very dedicated and are drill fanatics". They were supposed to take a big academic test this week, hopefully all did well. According to her letter, as of Sunday Sept 8, they were on week 1, day 4 hold. 1-5 was on Monday and 2-1 on Tuesday. I guess as of today, they should be on 2-4. She will be going to A school in Biloxi for AG and she found 2 other recruits that also signed up for AG. The division is coming together and hopefully they won't get in trouble as often as they were.

My son is also in division 395. He said they are doing well. 10 people dropped out after the swimming test. But him and his bunk mate are the oldest 20 and 24. They didn't get started for a whole week. Keep up the good work 395.

Was wondering when I might get a normal phone call from my son. He is on ship 11 Div 396. I noticed that other parents with recruits on this ship and division received calls last weekend. I'm very anxious to hear his voice. I was fortunate enough, however, to see a pic of him on the U. S. Navy Recruit Training Command website random photos and for that I am very grateful. Just want to hear his voice.

We received a call last Saturday for 5 minutes, he didn't have long since they were going to some training session and said he had to wait his turn for an available phone to call. Which pic is your son in? I've looked over the pics several times and didn't see my son, might need to look again.
