No problem, It will give me an extra night to pray.  Here's my prayer:

Father God, Thank you that all of the sailor recruits in Divisions 083 and 084 pass Battle Stations tonight.  They all have your wisdom, peace and strength.  Remind them of everything that they have been taught order to pass this final test.  The rely on you and they have calm, clear thinking.  We thank you that 100 percent of the recruits pass this final test and we rejoice for the good reports that we will all enjoy tomorrow night.  In Jesus' name. Amen.

my message was soley based on who my son thought was waiting outside for the phones.....he could have been mistaken in his excitment.....sorry ladies that I gave false hope....

Comment by harpist mom on March 6, 2012 at 9:54pm

Does anyone know for sure if 083/084 had Battlestations last night as scheduled? Still no phone call for me.

Comment by MEJ on March 6, 2012 at 9:50pm

Candle it lit for DIV 83 and 84.  You will be smiling ear to ear this time tomorrow.  Excited to meet our new Navy family Friday:)

Comment by TrumbullCTMom on March 6, 2012 at 9:39pm

Still no calls from 083 and 084, correct?  If they go through tonight what time does it start?

Comment by harpist mom on March 6, 2012 at 9:19pm

I am anxiously awaiting a call. My cell phone is "glued" to my hand!

Congratulations to everyone!! Sarge's meet and greet was really imformative and well worth going to! He gives out a ton of advice and he stayed well after 8 for questions and everything. I would really recommend going! Its at the sundance saloon right across from the Mariott Springhill Suites. Sarge was so good to me and my boyfriend last week him and his drivers were so friendly and they gave out all kinds of advice on what to do with everything while we were there. Definitely give him a call if you need to get somewhere! Safe travels to PIR, any questions please reach out, I was just got back yesterday. My boyfriend is staying in Great Lakes for A School. =)
Comment by diannep on March 6, 2012 at 8:50pm

cat:  That's possible.  Like I said, they may have had a training delay and weren't ready last night...maybe that is why 085/086 went.  But bahkmom was told that 083 was outside waiting to make calls.  So just not sure.  If just one call comes in from either 083 or 084, then we know that both went through. They go through with their brother (training buddy) divisions.

Congrats to all the new Sailors!!!

Blondi - glad to hear things worked out for your son. I know a lot of them have been pretty sick during bootcamp. My daughter had to go to the doctor several times while there for medication.
