We were given incentives of phone calls to excel at certain tests and stuff. it was like a morale booster that worked. unfortunately the only one i called was my recruiting office

I just talked to a frown on FB yesterday who graduated next week. He told me his division (div 804) passed inspection an yet were given the afternoon off so he went to "recruit heaven". I got to ask him all kinds of questions about 800 divisions that will help me out next month.

Yeah, the RDCs use phonecalls to get you to do better.

We got a few chances to get an extra call, here are a few examples.

"If everyone passes the swim test we'll go to the nex and make some phone calls"

"If everyone gets a 4.0 on the test we'll make phone calls"

"If everyone passes inspection we'll get a phone call"

We earned an extra call, then somebody came back from medical with a demerit chit, lost the call ;p
