I just got the letter late yesterday.  My son arrived at GL on 3/1.  I thought we might be pushing it to make the 4/27 date, but happily surprised.  Got a GREAT note on the back of the letter... Has he changed this much already that he seems to really miss us?  Wow!  

Hoping to connect with other 11/134 moms.  Let me know.  :D  Hang in there!  We're gonna make it, just like our kids!  :D

131 misses you a bunch!! We all love to check up on updates about your girl! We are so proud of her!!! 

Hello to all our SR love ones!  Does anyone know if our Division passed battle station yet?  Are they Sailors now?  Waiting for phone call from my girl - hope the worse is really over now for them and they can go on to study for the jobs they signed up for - any information from our group would be greatly appreciate!  Thank you and God Bless our SRs!

Im ready and waiting as well. This anticipation is gonna kill me.

I am also so ready!!!!! When do we get to call them our Sailors?!?  WOW, I have never been more proud, there are absolutely no words to describe the feeling, when I go out I have this smile on my face like I want to tell the world I am a Navy Mom, so, so proud.  Since there has been no news I guess once again the old saying - that it is good news.  Well we will all soon find out - but I am going nuts wait!!  God bless our SRs.

Tell everyone i will be back soon...i love chatting with the 131 group on Facebook(lol)im starting to miss it(lol) i was spending to much time n there tho.

I missed my call today, however she talked to her dad and grandmother... she said she finally recieved every letter we wrote her. they came together in a rubberband... she said she has a lot of reading to do... My SR also states battle stations start tomorrow and to pray for there ship... they still dont have teamwork and they need to pass... she told me to ask everybody to write and encourage everyone to get along.. even though there are a split division they are still one team... Im  so excited that it is almost over... I pray that Our SR's get through battlestation.. also today was the first day they have been outside since March 6th...

I hope they pull together for Battle Stations as well. My SR said they havent had team work since day one so im hoping they can all become one because i want my call

OK, printed my gate pass -have my plane tickets etc, etc, but how do we know our SR made it, which of course all of them are going to make it but,  how long is battle-stations and when will our SR's let us know they are graduating with the division?  Anyone have these answers???

Didn't get a very encouraging letter from our SR today. So far as I can decifer, problems with drill, Test 2, Not getting flags, Not working together. The RDC's told them the Div. would be set back as a whole if the next 2 weeks are not taken seriously.  We hope for a call after BS, maybe this week. We are more than slightly concerned at this point.

Yes we need lots and lots of prayers.  Just don't understand why no team work.  We really need our SR's to get it together.  Is BS the whole week long???  Could use any positive comments right now.  Like most of the love ones I have everything booked and  there is no way I could get the money up for new flights and hotel if they don't have their PIR on 4/27/12, so please everyone write to SR's and lets prayer alot:)  Thank you!

Well, friends... I realize we are all concerned about battle stations this week. Our combined division has definitely got its work cut out for it. I am keeping all of our SR's in my prayers. Hoping for our "sailor" calls this week!
