Hey All,
I wondered if anyone out there knows when ship 12 div 102 has battlestations. I haven't heard from my son in about a week, so I don't know when it is. I know that they are suppose to call when they finish, but I just want to know. Also for those of you coming in from out of state, I live about an hour away from GL. If you want to know anything about Chicago let me know. It has been really, really cold here, so bring warm clothes.

[Emily {Brandon's Fiance)]

I'm not sure when battle stations are, but my boyfriend is in div 102 also. I think I may get a letter from him tomorrow, if I hear anything I'll let you know..

Hi Emily,
I will appreciate anything hearing anything you find out. Are you coming to PIR? If so where are you coming from. I live about an hour from GL.

My Fiancee is also on ship 12 div 102. Hopefully we'll be able to figure out soon when their doing battle stations

[Emily {Brandon's Fiance)]

Ugh! I didn't get a letter from him. His mom didn't get one either. I will be coming to PIR in less than a week! I'm going with his family, we are driving from Wheeling West Virginia. It's gonna be an 8-10 hour drive. Maybe longer if the weather is a factor.

Hey Girls! B.stations are 2\11. Brandon's dad got a letter today. :) Good Luck & GOd Bless them all

[JoAnne]

Thanks for the info. Now I can relax a little.

Hi Emily,
I'm Jeremys mom Becky,I think Brandon and Jeremy have become friends. It's good to know when "Battle Stations" will be, and to know that they may be able to call us. We received a letter yesterday that took Jeremy 5 days to write, started 1/28 ended 2/1. I guess ther are alittle busy. We will be driving up for G'day also from Daphne, Al, around 12hrs or so. We would to hear more from you.

[Emily {Brandon's Fiance)]

Hi! I'm so happy to hear from you! I just got my lettter today. Brandon said their divison is doing well. They earned all 4 flags so far! I'm do proud of all of them. :) I really think that those two will be life long friends. It makes me so happy to know he has someone that he feels close to! Please keep in touch! PS: Brandons mom is also on the website, her name is Vicki.

Hi everyone, I am Justin's mom. He is with your men. I am going to be an absolute wreck driving up. When will we hear from them?

[JoAnne]

Hi Robin,
I am not sure when we will hear anything. I guess it'll be after their BS. Emily said her boyfriend wrote and told her BS is on 2/11. Others have said that sometimes the RC will surprise them on another day. I guess we will just have to be patient. I know that I carry my cell everywhere. Are you able to come to PIr? If so where are you staying. We are staying at the Navy Lodge.
