Thanks diannep, I'm aware of that, but thanks for the reminder.

Rtar:  They start anywhere between 8 and 10 pm---overnight drill....capping ceremony (trade RECRUIT cap for NAVY cap) happens the next morning.  Calls can start coming in as early as 2 pm Central time that day.

167/168 go through BattleStations at the same time.  Remember, ladies, we cannot post the BattleStations dates on here.  Angie, if you want to know the date, you can friend request/private message Rtarbaby.

I would think 167/68 would do BS together since they are brother divisions.

Diannep-I know BS is 12 hours, but any idea what time of day they will start

Wonder if the BS date applies to 168 as well since they are brother divisions? I am not a fan if the no calls until afterward either. It's been almost 3 weeks already.

We both got letters today, as usual.  He seems upbeat, but ready for it to be over with.  He was told he would be departing RTC very early Saturday morning after graduation.  "A" school in Mississippi, more than likely hitting Atlanta and connecting from there.  I checked the O'hare flight schedules, and they have direct flights to Atlanta leaving as early as 7 am.  He was given his BS date, division 167.  Said he would not be making any calls until after BS.  His mother was not a fan of that, but one never knows, they may earn something special.

I got a letter on Wednesday (div 175)...it was pretty short as he said they were really busy. Said he is well though. Can't believe we only have 3 weeks left!

Hi Angie.  I am so glad you got a letter today and that he is good.  I got one too.  She is fine.  She misses all the comforts of home.

I received a letter today, it was quick, short and to the point. He sounded excited and is counting down as he said it seems time is going by faster. Like everyone else said they are super busy, Said they are doing marksmanship training with the pistol and he's loving it. Hoping to earn ribbons or medals from his uniform this week. Geezz if I only knew to do that to get him to keep a neat and clean appearance while he was growing up.lol  Guess that boot training is working for my yungin' :) I'm so proud of him !

Hope everyone else gets a letter or call this weekend too. (3) more Thursdays.. Yay!!

Hang in there proudmomma, Last week I was hanging my head on Thursday, just to find that little envelope in my mailbox on Friday. I hope you'll find the same tomorrow
