Has anyone heard when our SR's Battlestation date is?  I am hoping we get a letter tomorrow to tell us.  Did you watch the video from the 8/12 PIR graduation diannep posted - OMG I cried!  It is almost our turn!! :)

 

Received a letter from my SR yesterday and he confirmed that he was at the 8/19 graduation and told me where he was and I saw him in the graduation pictures!!!  WOW it was so great to see him - I knew it was him, his father didn't!! LOL  Mother always knows!!  Counting down the days!!  OMG it can't come soon enough.  I haven't heard anything about BS date yet, but he did say he would be calling so be on alert.  Have a great day everyone.
Recevied 2 letters today!!  Gas Chambers has been completed and he survived!! I sent out what he told me for BS dates - hope you got that note.  he also said this Saturday, 8/27 they are competing in the captains cup so hopefully they win something so they get their picture taken!!  I just printed out the Gate pass for next week.  I am so excited its like christmas for me!! :)  Have a great day everyone.

To towermom: I did not get the note regarding the BS date. Could you please tell me what day that is? Thx

 

I jus

Am I the only Mom that hasn't gotten another call? And worse, No letter yesterday! Trying not to think the worst :(

 

I haven't received another call yet either - I bet they call Tuesday though!!  I did get 2 letters yesterday and he sounded good - Captain's Cup is Saturday so if they win I hear they get a picture taken!  Keep fingers crossed.  He said the Division is coming together and everyone is doing great!!  Maybe you will get you letter today.  :)

Thanks for the support girls. You are the best!!!

 

Yeah!! Got a letter today! He said he was sick AGAIN! What the heck is wrong with that place? He said he had a fever over 103 for six days straight but couldn't medicine for fear of getting set back. And my SR is not a "complainer" and is rarely ever sick. Thank goodness is almost over.

Ugh - Missyssailor - I included your SR in my prayers today and will again tonight (i will include all of 942 Division) tomorrow is an important day for them - burn your blue candles!!  Almost time to pack for their graduation.!! :)

Did anyone hear when 942 does BS?  email me if you can with the dates.  I wanted to confirm what my SR told me.
I received a short call from my SR last night. He was just checking on us after the hurricane, but he said to expect a longer call today. Make sure you have your phones charged and ready.
