Hello all, I have some news. Just got a surprise & very brief "reward" call from my son in Div014. He was upbeat and even jovial - he sounded like his old self. So thankful to hear the confidence back in his voice. He shared that their division is working really well together, and has earned every flag, except athletic. He spoke proudly of the teamwork in this division and their ability to meet the challenges ahead. Hooyah!

Great thanx for sharing....it's always good to hear the positive feedback of how the ship and div. are doing! My son said something about earning 3 flags and that at first they had a hard time working together, but it is getting better and they are really all coming together now. I haven't had a phone call in a long time, but the countdown has begun.....what are we down to.... 11-12 days....... less than 2 weeks!!!!! Can't wait! I am working on my door congrats sign..... and trying to get my gift bag/basket ready for Sarge's Meet and Greet!

10 days - Countdown is definitely on! :) Our loved ones are ramping up for Battle Stations. They have worked so hard to come to this moment. They will rise to this challenge with the skills, confidence, and teamwork they have forged as a division! Our family will be at Sarge's Meet-n-Greet. Truly looking forward to meeting the families of the men and women who have shared this experience with my son. I am thankful for N4M, to enable us to this walk this winding road together. :)
