This just forum just gets better and better! Thank you Veteran Mom's for coordinating these groups and working so hard to keep us up to date and informed.
Just heard from my husband that we got another letter today from our SR. He is in Div 213. He writes an "everyone" letter to cover all his family/friends (at least he started it with Happy Mother's Day). We then scan it and email it around. It saves him time so he can study and/or practice during the rest of his letter writing time. He said the Div is improving, and they are now having inspections (they have had one folding/stowing and one personnel). I think they were scheduled to have a test this past Monday and a zone inspection (cleanliness of the compartment) as well, according to his letter.
That's all I have to report. Take care.

I'm new to this group! My son is Ship 13, Div 214 PIR 6/19. I just received a call from him and he said he passed his Pass Program and was feeling confident. He's sounded really good and said he's glad he's had this opportunity to go through this boot camp. While it is difficult, he's learning more about himself and achieving things he never thought he could. I'm feeling better knowing he's feeling better. Counting down the days to 6/19.

I missed a call yesterday. I walked away from my phone 2 mon and he called. I have a very sick SR. Upper respiratory infection. He has failed his last 2 pt test he is down about that. He said he had to cut his run short during, due to the need of breathing. I really hope and pray he can start feeling well so he can get through ok. Otherwise in his msg he sounded ok but sick. Other than that he said he is doing ok. :)
