Just got a call from my son an hour ago! He was on watch yesterday and couldn't call with the rest of Div 139. He told me that today was DOT 2-5. He said that he wrote a letter on Sunday, over a week ago, but I still haven't received it ... that's some delayed delivery. He's doing fine, it's warm, PT is fine -- he missed sports so had me look up the standings of basketball teams on the computer while I was talking with him. It's the half-way mark - YAY!
FYI - He said that our family couldn't send him any more magazine articles, printed sports statistics, or comics ... because they aren't supposed to get any "reading material." That's something I will have to correct on the flyer I sent out to our extended family members.

Hiya CatMomma- My son was also on watch when the calls came in. That means that they were doing watch together! Small world. I asked him about current events and if we were allowed to send any and he said no. So I will refrain. Thank goodness baseball season and football season are on sabbatical.

Cat momma, very interesting about not be able to send current events we did send a couple of newspaper clipping regarding a friend of ours and he never received our letter with pictures of family and the newspaper clipping. I wonder how many other letters he hasn't received, oh boy I feel awful.

Yes, I wonder how many letters of mine may not have made it. I am going to write him a letter now.

Jess76 - I was wondering why everyone is wearing a red scarf to Sarge's Meet and Greet?

I mis-read your question. We are wearing red scarves to easily identify those of us in division 140 for the meet and greet, and we are also wearing them for the PIR ceremony as well. We are all trying to meet up at the meet and greet, so it makes it easier to "visibly see" who is apart of Division 140. We are also putting gold anchors patches on our scarves because division 139 is the brother division, so they can do the red scarf thing, but only division 140-ers will have the red scarf AND the gold anchor patch.

Ladies! Are wear wearing a certain color scarf for PIR graduation? I have seen some of the other divisions are going to and didn't know if I missed ours or maybe we can get together and decide on a color to wear so our SR's can spot us.
