Comment by Deb (FC Mom) on January 25, 2011 at 12:35am: I have been tied to this page since Thursday night. Have been honored to share every divisions joys & frustrations. It has helped prepare me for tonights BS, especially the challenges faced by Div55's ever changing schedule.

So realizing that there is nothing more to do than wait and that I need serenity now let me offer this, with special emphasis on Div 55, 57, 58 & 910:

God please surround us with your calm loving strength so we may rest fully tonight and be prepared to be shining examples of your perfect unconditional love for our sailors tomorrow. Amen.

Good night my friends <3

Comment by emilyb (div 054) on January 25, 2011 at 12:34am: Got a call from my son this evening (div 054). He just finished eating pizza and sounded really good. Picked up his pictures today and said they will do their graduation practice on Thursday.

Prayers for the kiddo's going through battle stations tonight. Hang in there, this roller coaster is almost over!

Prayers also for safe travels!!! I know we are all getting ready to make our way to Great Lakes in the next day or so. My prayers are with you all.

Exciting times!!! :=)

Comment by Tricia_Stennis Crash and salvage on January 25, 2011 at 12:20am: 55- I know how frustrated you are!!! I'm unable to sleep and my stomach is in knots I am hoping that the change does not affect any of the other divisions as well! I'm not sure I could be as strong as you ladies and dads! :) Hats off to you all!!! :ooking forward to us ALL having sailors tomorrow!!!

Comment by Cindy Ship11,DIV54 on January 25, 2011 at 12:14am: Praying all get their I'm a Sailor call tommorrow! I know the waiting is killing you guys! It's coming!

Comment by joansj proudGSM mom on January 25, 2011 at 12:03am: Sorry for the moms/dads/significant others that had to wait out the day with no phone calls from div 055. They will go tonight and they will all do fine. When I come home from work tomorrow I look forward to seeing the many posts from the new SAILORS.

I had to ask my son, I told him that you all were going crazy and needed some answers so he found out for me that 055 did not go last night. He did not know the reason why, but said he believed they were going tonight. God is with this group of recruits as he was with the others and tomorrow all your worries will be over and you will celebrate your new SAILORS!!!

As hard as it may be try to get some rest and I will see you all tomorrow.

Comment by Kac46047 on January 24, 2011 at 11:57pm: when i asked my boyfriend why they didn't go on friday he said "nobody knew not even the RDC's" he said they emailed the rdc's a new schedule and that was that.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 24, 2011 at 11:57pm: Chris, we want four complete divisions of sailors tomorrow !!!! No failures.

Comment by ChrisNukeEMmom on January 24, 2011 at 11:54pm: I'm so sorry for all you connected to division 055. I can only imagine the frustration you must be feeling. I hope you all can get a good night's sleep tonight. Hopefully tomorrow we'll have a "boatload" of sailors :)

Comment by Sharon*MA mom* on January 24, 2011 at 11:41pm: Good Evening Ladies (and dads)......last I checked in was around 12:30PST, so sorry to hear about 55. I can't imagine how frustrating this must be. I did see this on the RTC facebook page:

The Battle Stations schedule is set at least a month in advance and they do not always necessarily go in order. An entire training group of divisions will not get pushed to a different day from the schedule. If for whatever a reason one division's date got pushed, it doesn't mean all the rest of the divisions are pushed as well. Up to four divisions per night can go through Battle Stations.

So.....if 57-58 & 910 were scheduled for tonight, there is still room for 55. Here's hoping for a bunch of "Sailor" calls tomorrow.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 24, 2011 at 11:21pm: The only thing I can imagine is that div. 055 just wasn't quite ready to do battlestations. I know that every division has so many things that are required to be completed prior to participating in BS21. All that said, I am the forever optimist and my take is that it is possible that there might have been several that if they had gone last night, they would not have made it. The delay is just a way to give them the opportunity to all be able to pass.
