Son is in Ship 10 (USS Enterprise) Div 173, He called this evening chatting about stuff in general. He was Flag 2 but is now flag 5, has 8 men behind him while marching. They won an academic flag... all flags are,of course,earned. He still thinks his division isn't very good but they're catching up.
He and another recruit had to stand watch while rest of division got to phone home the other day so they both got a little extra time to call home on Easter Sunday, a reward for standing watch. Not looking forward to the tear gas but is itching to run battle stations. He got yelled at for not swimming properly, He's always swam head up, but still aced it, I think he has gills he's so good at swimming.
The one wife and I noticed immediately was the confidence in his voice, he'd waver at times just chatting, no more, he was clear and direct. Such a difference in just shy of a month, I can only imagine how well he does after 2 months. We'll see Apr 30
