Ship 11 Div 134 PIR 4/27/12
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

Your SRs should be doing BattleStations early during PIR week. Only they can tell you the exact night...it is a 12 hr overnight drill and then they are sailors! Please read the" BattleStations discussion" which has much more info. Also, if you hear a date for them, please private message it to me. I'm maintaining a schedule for this PIR group and will send it out when done. We cannot post BattleStations dates on this site...not allowed. RTC has asked us not to. So if you receive a date, just post on the main PIR board that you have a date for Div ___ and let the ladies private message you for it.
I'm a Sailor calls come in on the afternoon of the day that they finish. Can start as early as 2 pm GL time. They usually get a good amount of time to talk then...and they can also elect to buy internet time for 30 minutes while waiting for the phones...which means they may post on their Facebooks, so be checking that too.

Thank you diannep for the latest information concern BS week. I think the best thing to do is just not read anymore and just pray that all the SR in ship 11 will make that super phone call this week. It has been a month and 1/2 of roller coaster emotions and now it is almost over. We all will just have to wait. WOW - this is crazy - LOL God is definitely with our SR which means they are good to GO!

For those of us that are driving to RTC, I'd like to share a tip. If you can and have a phone capable, down load the app, Gas Buddy. Also, it wouldn't hurt to try and find a guide book called The Next Exit. Gives you all sorts of info exits along the interstates. I.E., food, lodging, shopping, repair shops, and gas stations...We use it, and it is very helpful knowing what is around the exit. See ya'll Friday at the Drill Hall.....
