Good to know. If I hear anything I'll pass it on. He communicates more with his girl friend but we keep writing. Had a phone call last weekend. He sounded well and was doing as well as I could tell.

My son is in this group as well. Sounds like a good bunch, they seem to being doing well as group!

I heard that our Div is going into/through Hell week. Let us know if you hear anything. Letters are good, but slow and sporadic. My son is trying to answer all the letters from his family; brothers, sister, cousins in between the GF letters. Is anyone planning on going to the meet and greet Thursday before PIR?

I am taking my middle son on a campus visit of Purdue University in the am on that Thursday, not sure excatly what time we will be arriving in the GL area.

 

What is the time & location of the meet & greet?  You can always PM me if you feel it is not for open discussion.

I just got off the phone with my son, wow! I hope all of you got a call or get one this week end. What an uplifting of the spirit to hear his voice. May God Bless and Keep those who choose to stand in harms way to protect us!

I was on the road when my SR called home and spoke with my wife and his brother. Said he got the privilege because he had 'head duty'. Probably the only time cleaning a head was a good thing. He sounded great and was looking forward to seeing everyone and eating, a lot. This is a good thing. He said he had something for us so his mom is very excited, if that was possible. Two more weeks. Looking forward to the weekend. We will be at Sarge's meet and greet. I hope to meet you all there. The Moms are planning something for Starbucks Thursday PM. If we are there by then I am sure she'll go, too.

Yep my son got to call home too.  He got to talk to his mom, brother, and girlfriend; but I was out and he just got to leave me a voicemail.  Man was I disappointed!

 

Looks like they are approaching Hall of Fame status, if they came weather the tests this week and BattleStations.

 

Did any of you see the pictures of 813 on the RTC Facebook page?  My son has actually put on some weight while there, more food less exercise.  They are starting to call him fatty, he's up to 6% body fat now!  I'm glad though, he needed some extra to help with the grind ahead. 

 

Here is the link to the photos, they are under the 5/3 set - http://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand/photos

Do you mean the random pictures from last week? I saw them but could not make out anyone I knew. If you know a specific number of the sequence let me know, at least I can take another look. Thanks.

I can't tell  if 813 is the first picture. My SR said that the div is down to 79 members as of last week. I heard that is about normal, too.
