My daughter is in the same division. I always receive her "diary" as I call it on Thursdays. She writes something every day and mails it all in one letter. Nice reading this way.

Yes - he passed the swim test and got 4.8 out of 5.0 on another test but i don't know what it was for. I haven't heard from him since though.

My daughter is scheduled to PIR on Sept 5th, she is attached to Div 331 Ship 14. This past week we received 6 letters, she wasn't able to write one week so she made up for it the following week.

My son is Ship 10, Div. 320. I got a letter on Wednesday, and a phone call on Friday. He said he had a busy week, on the firing range. This was their week to work with weapons, so maybe they were all just very busy. His letter was shorter than usual, so I am thinking they were pretty much on the go the whole time. Ethan has been so homesick in his letters up until this last week, that I am sure he writes whenever they are allowed. When he was SIQ (wisdom teeth), he started a letter, and finished it on the following Sunday. It was 4 full pages long! This kid wasn't much of a writer before he went in...
Ethan's PIR is also 9/5. Have you heard anything about a delayed graduation? Ethan is worried that some of the girls and a few guys in his ship might keep them all from graduating...

Laura called also on Friday and had the same worries about not be able to graduate. I don't think they will keep a whole division back as they run a tight schedule. I told her to do and learn her stuff and she shouldn't have anything to worry. My older daughter was in boot camp 2 years ago and said that they would threaten such stuff all the time to keep them on their toes...
