<p>There's no point in freaking out.</p>
<p>You can make your hotel reservations as they can always be cancelled, but hold off on the airlines unless you want to pay extra for the fully refundable ones. As pointed out, you'll get a letter with more information, but to be honest, there are many things that can alter plans that you can't account for. Pretty much all you can do is wait for info, make your plans and hope everything goes according to plans.</p>

My son just phoned me this morning to say he passed Battlestations and will graduate friday as scheduled which is this friday August 3. As I write this its July 31! We live in Louisiana and opted to drive as trying to get refundable airfare was very costly and we were not sure we could get the times and flights we needed. Had I not heard from him this morning we were fully prepared to hit the road not knowing whether he had passed or not. Its a 16 plus hour drive for us and we knew there was a possiblity we would be turning around. It's kinda how it goes. I wish you luck! They have alot of money invested in the recruits, about $20,000 each so they want them to succeed. I worried alot and it all worked out!</p> Never heard that, but if you…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2012-07-31:1971797:Comment:72336762012-07-31T19:57:54.761ZConcernedadhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Concernedad

<p>I don't think so. The whole thing is supposed to catch them unaware.</p>

<p>Battle stations takes place on a different day for each division...you could find out 5 days before PIR...or the night before PIR that your loved one made it through Battle stations and will be going to PIR. </p>
