GOOD  Morning Ladies  i am not sure which one of you has Homles as son however my daughter worte me dated 08/15 that homles is the smartest and the fastest in the div he run has PFA in 9 min. she said tell the mom he is DO GREAT! I just wanted to share. okay we are down to 5 days we can do this some of us even lesser then that. GOOD LUCK on the road for those who are diving and May god watch over you'll to get you there safe. ck in later got to do housework hehehehehe. 

 

THERESA    HOOYAH GO NAVY 

My son is Holmes, but there is also another Holmes in the males besides him.  He is fast, but he wrote me in 2 letters that he did the 1.5 mile in 10:30, so maybe it's the other Holmes, but thanks for letting me know.  He does sound good in his letters that I got today and I'm getting ready to post the highlights.

I got 2 letters from my SR today, and also 2 of the questionnaires that I sent him.  In several places he mentioned that they will do Battestations on Sunday Aug. 21.  I was expecting Tues/Wed Aug 23/24.  Has anyone gotten any information about Battlestations dates?  I will post more later about other things he said in his letters. 

 

I well my SR said it was on that date not unless they change it. I wish I knew what date was correct well I am going to the mail box to see if I got another letter with updating news !!

My last letter said the 23rd and 24th but got the message from Diana and she was questioning the date and if it was changed so it could be right on the 21st!! I hope so and I hope if your SR is the 21st I hope his Sister division is the 21st too!!

I hope they all got changed to the closer date!!

Prays all around!!

I think she sent out that message because I had PM'd her what he said in his letters that I got today.  That could not be right because I know that 269-270 and 271-272 went Thursday nite, and there was no BS last nite and won't be any tonite due to Captain's Cup so the most that could go Sunday nite would be 273-274 and 275-276, although 277-278 and 279-280 could go Monday nite, but 941 also has to go in there somewhere.  If anybody gets any calls, ask your SR when they will do BS.  In any case I am pretty sure 279 and 280 will go at the same time.

so they will be going WHEN? on 08/21 or 08/23 I am confuse help me understand ladies

 

 

theresa 

I don't know for sure...I'm thinking 8/23 since only 4 divisions can do battlestations at once and 941 has to fit in there somewhere
