DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

He was talking about one of the SR getting their division the Bravo Zulu. I asked who it was and he said your SR's name. He says he is an amazing guy - after that their group is really getting it together.

Oh wow!! That makes me so proud :) Rob wants this really bad....He plans 2 do navy seals. I am just happy to hear the div is finally working together!!

Shermur- can you post the link for the Facebook group?

I got to talk to my daughter for 5 minutes on Wednesday (it was her call earned when everyone else got to call on the 13th/she had watch duty) and I got to talk to her again for 20 minutes yesterday (there was a couple of other people she wanted to call) funny thing is, I was at my youngest daughter's first softball tournament, picked up my phone to check the time and instantly I see 847 area code coming in! What excitement, everyone around me peobably thought I had lost my mind jumping up and down and looking at my phone (it's OK, I'm a Mom)....I sent her stamps and envelopes yesterday. Hope fully she gets them soon! 

Sounds like our SRs have finally made it over the hump and are coming together as a division! I am so proud and can't wait until PIR!

 

Two more weeks and we're there for PIR! We can't wait to meet the loved ones on FB and N4Ms....and not to mention, see the loved ones that have been away from home for 2 months! I can't wait to wrap my arms around my girl!

Audra, my daughter said they are working better together too but they rule on inspections!

BigD'sMom and shermur, I am with you....totally excited to see my girl! 

Anyone staying at the Ramada Inn? 

If you are from San Antonio, will you inbox me?

 

Thanks ladies....13 days and counting....yahoooooooooooooooo!

Printed the gate pass today...just waiting for the ribbons and scarf!  10 more days to see her!

Received a quick call last night from my SR. He wanted me to send a pair of contacts to him for graduation. Sounds like things are going well. He is hoping to get some phone time on Saturday if everything goes well with inspections. I hope so too! I can't wait  for next Friday!

Oh my goodness! Who is getting excited? 5 days, 23 hours and some minutes to go.  Will be getting packed by next Tuesday evening to head up to Great Lakes by Thursday at noon.  9 hour drive...WOW! I just wish SR would call to confirm she has passed everything and that she's a SAILOR! It would ease my mind so much!

I don't understand...again! Did anyone in this division get phone calls from our loved ones over Easter weekend? Were they a part of the Captain's Cup? Has anyone heard anything?

Shed ur no call here either. I'm almost positive though they were in captains cup.
Audra- have you gotten bs dates yet?
