Yeah I saw that about the special swearing in so I don't know if that's them? John didn't say anything about that.

I just missed a phone call from my son...he left a long message though and said he spoke with his girlfriend...so I am trying to reach her...his message said that he got his orders today ...he goes to Pensacola...not sure what day yet...probably either Sat or Sun...he said he won't know until about three days before graduation. He said it was a tough week, but he is good. Also said that they took their graduation pictures & ordered their t-shirts!

I thought I heard somewhere that they might get one this week too but I'm not for sure about that and then the week after that we should be getting the I'm a asailor call.

It seems like they've been getting a call a week. So I think that they will be calling before Battlestations if they continue to do good.

My son called on Friday also but he called his girl - that's okay - I'm happy he got a call. They have gotten a lot of phone calls compared to some of the other divisions who hardly get to ever call! They must be doing really well to earn so many calls! I hope they all had a great Easter! Is BS on May 5th? Thought I read that somewhere - when will the Captain's Cup be - the following Saturday?

Yeah I have been told that Battlestations is the 4th and 5th and the captain cup is that sat so the 7th. And Yeah I hope they continue to earn those calls.

They do seem to get a lot of phone calls. Battlestations for them will start on the 4th and end on the 5th in the morning. I read that the Captain's Cup takes place that Saturday before graduation. So it sounds like for them it will be on the 7th. I really hope that they win. That would be great for them. And I hope that everyone passes battlestations. I took the 5th and 6th off just so that I won't miss the "I'm a Sailor" call.
