Does anyone have a SR who is over 30 (12/423). If so I'd love to know. I would seem this SR has become best friends with my SR who is 21.

One of the times I spoke with my daughter she said there were 4 people in her div, div 423, over 30. One she said has a son around her age, she's 18.

My daughter is headed to San An Tx (HM) for her A school. Anyone else in her division 423 headed there as well? I've seen one so far, it would be nice to see that some of those training together will move on to A schools together!

I seen that! She must had meant medical assistant so actually HM? I read MA is master at arms which is like military police. I think San An is just medical but I could be wrong.

I finally got my letter! It was much longer than the last one! My SRs is still missing home but things sound good for her! She has been a bit sick, and from the sounds of it a lot of SRs are. She wrote to send more stamps, that they have to use 2 stamps if there are more than 3 pages to a letter regardless of weight. I was wondering why she kept putting 2 stamps on them! I've been sending her larger ones with only one stamp and thought she was just playing it safe :)

Oh Geez thats not good about being sick! lucky you though you got a letter nothing on my end :(

Did anyone else recieved a call? our SR called my husband and his sister being I can't have my cell phone here at work. They both said he sounded good. Glad he called his sister she really needed to hear his voice and I think the same for him. He said passed with a 4.0 they and he said the whole division passed so that is good. I am hoping I will see a letter when I get home. He also told his sister it is getting easier as he gets used to the routine. According to his sister he wanted to know more about what was going on with her then tell her things about him.

I got a call too. My daughter said their division got a flag and they are hoping for more. I guess I will have to research what the flags are earned for. She did say one of her friends slipped in the shower/bathroom room and may have broken something! Bummer I hope she's ok! Sounds like there is a lot of tension between the girls of each div.
