Thought it might be nice for everybody to say where they are staying for PIR as a means of knowing who will be in the same place, taking the shuttles, carpooling, etc. and maybe even getting together…Continue

good luck to div 055,057,058 & 910 on battlestaion tonight i know you all will pass god will see you through
Obviously none of us are there and even those who are there but not in the same division don't really know what is going on. But, I am a freak...I admit it. I have studied face book, blogs, N4M , N4D, amongst others, I have to satisfy myself that I know everything I can! Now, I know after that statement you are all afraid of meeting me at the MnG. LOL But regardless, here is what I have heard.
In general everyone runs BS21 in division number order and Dianne is right brother divisions usually go together...but nothing is absolute. The RDC's job is to thin the tribe at first. But by now, his job changes and they are trying to get them all through and usually they do. All the kids entering BS21 must have passed all their tests. Unfortunately, Div. 55 hasn't had many calls so info is even more vague then usual on their status. We already know from calls that they were trying to get 6 kids from 57 through swimming for BS21...it could be the same case for Div. 55. They may have some kids in trouble on whatever test who they are trying to get through. There is room for all our divisions to go tonight, so that is a definite possibility.
I have also read posts from RTC Face Book personnel that you will receive your I'm a sailor calls anywhere from late morning GL time to evening or in some cases the next day. That is paraphrased but it is what they said.
I know this is a lot of if's and maybe's...what I am sure of is that as Dianne said before...55 will not all fail...in fact few if any will. Plus, just as the kid from 56 who feel asleep...they will usually move them to another BS21 prior to PIR if they do...even the night before. Frustrating yes, but almost everyone makes it at this point. Keep those chins up.
