@ Cor ... Ha ha Love it ... Today is my last day for Letters.... Im getting a bit teary eyed :( ......
OK LADIES Im sure you guys have read this info..... but for some, these are the events of the final week of BC for our future Sailors!
Captain's Cup - On the Saturday before Battle Stations, all divisions graduating together compete for the Captain's Cup. Captain's Cup is basically a field day, with competitions in sit ups, push ups, running, throwing, swimming, obstacle courses, relays, and more. It's a fun day, and winning the Captain's Cup is a matter of great pride to the winning division.
Battle Stations - In the last week before graduation, recruits have a final test…Battle Stations. Battle Stations is a twelve hour long simulation of battles, crises, and ship life.(from 8pm to 8am) It's a make or break event. If the recruits pass, they graduate from boot camp, and are allowed to trade in their recruit cap for a Navy cap in a very moving ceremony.
Battle Stations takes place on The USS Trayer, a state of the art simulated 210 foot guided missile destroyer designed by Universal Studios. Special effects make the virtual reality experience look, feel, sound and smell like an actual ship. During their time on the USS Trayer, recruits will proceed through 17 different shipboard scenarios based on actual historical crises and events. As they go through Battle Stations, recruits draw on everything they have learned during boot camp.After the capping ceremony the "Im a Sailor Call" usually starts coming in about 2pm.
Praying for our Boys !! HOOYAH DIV 812
