7.Week Seven - At this point, you're nearly finished with boot camp. Excitement sets in and now you're ready for the final test: Battle Stations. Battle Stations is a twelve hour event held to test your entire division on how well you've absorbed everything you've learned so far. If you are present at the call for Battle Stations, this means you have successfully passed all academic and physical challenges presented to you up to this point, and are ready for this final test. You will be pushed to the very brink here, and will find that once it is over and you stand in the finishing room, dirty, beyond weary, emotional and drained. All that fades away as the Commanding Officer in charge of RTC Great Lakes comes in to personally congratulate you, presenting you and your division with your new status as a United States Sailor -- your Navy ball cap. (i cried when i read that)
feb 7-11
8.Week Eight - Graduation/Pass and Review. Aside from everything mentioned above, part of your training has been in drill and ceremony. That portion of your training will come in to play here, where you march proudly, shoulders squared and with a bolstered confidence before friends, family, and thousands of supportive individuals from all walks of life. There is nothing like it in the whole world.

I think things have slowed down to normal. Just a couple weeks ago, I was totally stoked with the whole amazing bootcamp thing. Our sons, fiance & husbands are now moving on with a whole new life! My son played football, learning responsibilities and working (I think cleaning toilets among other duties) while waiting to get into school in another few months. Hope all is well with all of you!
I got to talk to my son! He sure love the warm weather and his room 200 feet from the ocean. He can see the ocean from his window in his room. He is roomate with a guy from his brother division 063 who is going into AT (or ATI?).
His rate is AE (Aviation Electronics Mate) and he is in the Air Technical Training Center (ATTC). He has to wait to get into school as well. It will take a couple of months to start school.
He bought a computer on base (& cell phone @ GL). He will be taking financial class tomorrow (good thing). Now he works from 6:30 to 4:30 cleaning. He talked about his stages of Liberty. He is looking forward to skydiving in a few weeks and later a trip to Disney World. I'm so glad he can do his own thing!
He figures he will be there for at least 6 months. After getting into and completing school. He hopes all his cousins and siblings (can flies for free) can meet up with him (few of my family works for SWA).
Phone calls are neat but I still like the letters - they are so special. He thought so too. More letters and pictures to send : 0 )
I found an interesting link about A school: http://navyformoms.ning.com/group/sailorsinpensicolaflforaschool/fo...
Smiles!
