Hi, I am also very new to this site. However, I have been reading some very helpful information. My son is on Ship 04 Div 082, PIR 1/13/14 but I have not heard anything from him since early Dec. Last time I talked with him, he was attending swimming classes twice a day. Can someone send me a private message to let me know the date of Battle Stations 21 for 04/082 Div? I have very strong faith that our recruits will pass all requirements and became Navy sailors this week. Best wishes to all.

Angie, be sure to stay on the main 01/31 PIR page too! Glad you finally found us! I know you will have a sailor by this time next week, but glad you are here. Please look at the info posted in the PAGES section on the main PIR page (right side of the page, under the MEMBERS PHOTO BOX). We think you should be getting a very special call from your new sailor the day before PIR!

Awesome! Thank you! Nervous wreck. My son has had a chest cold most of BC spent 2 days in his rack about 2 weeks ago. I have looked thru comments for BS21 night. I apologize if if I missed any posting sharing that day/night. When? He has not yet passed his run time. But we havent heard from him so no news is good news I know.

We can't post the BattleStations dates on these pages or FB pages (only private message). So you wouldn't have seen posts. Not sure when his final PFA (fitness test) is/was....so can't advise you on whether he passed or not...but if you haven't gotten a call from him, that is a good sign so far! I will send you the info on the night he will do BattleStations in a friend request....don't hit ACCEPT or the message goes away.

Hi, MaDukes, my son is in ship 04 div 081, a brother division of your son's div 082. I've read in these posts that brother divisions train together. I also did not get any calls or letters until last Friday, received his letter. My son said they are doing good but were really busy. They had an athletic event called captain's cup yesterday and my son said they placed 3rd. As a reward, they had 2 free hours of computer use yesterday, and I had a short chat with my son. Battle station is their final test and it is scheduled close to their graduation date. Once they pass this test, your son should be able to call you announcing the "I am a sailor" call!
Hope to see you friday rejoicing with our sons! Safe travels. -

I was watching the video archive of the PIR from 1/24/14, can't help but cry as see the new sailors all decked in their gala uniforms and you can hear their loved ones cheering loudly as their sailors marched into the drill hall. I hope I don't cry as much on friday-- tears of joy!
