Hello! I haven't really posted. Due to the fact that I am a wife and not a mom. However, I would like to say that this has been a great group to be a part of. I find lots of encouragement in reading these posts. My birthday was this month during boot camp and if you knew me I am a HUGE birthday person. A couple days before my birthday I received a letter from my husband and behind that letter was another letter, everyone in DIV 950 had wrote and signed for me. It melted my heart. I don't know the SR's in this DIV but they took time and put thought into this card which makes it all the more touching. Your SRs were so sweet in wishing me happy birthday and congratulations on our baby. If you could tell them all THANK YOU for me!!!

NavyWife, my grandson is 950 and your message gave me tears to think how nice a gesture the div made. My spouse (step grandfather to SR) is former Navy and we attended a ship's reunion so I had attendees write comments to 950 division SRs. I hope the notes got shared throughout the division. All the reunion attendees had good memories of their boot camp and Navy experiences (secretly, I don't think the officers know much about the rigors of boot camp, but they wrote comments too).
