I'm just wondering who the N4Ms are who have SRs in this Division.  Hopefully we will be getting mail/calls and can share the information.

hello all Div.215moms & girlfriends etc.

my husband and I just got back from prayer meeting. Our church has this every Sat. night to pray for our services on Sunday. I told the congregation  that our SR's will possibly be going through BS on Monday and into Tues. morning. It was a pleasure to hear them all callout to the Lord on behalf of Ship 09 Div. 215. They prayed for their safety and for strength and  that they may all do good as a team.

Navygirl55 (that's my SR's girlfriend) and I are so excited we can hardly wait to get on the road to IL. I thank God for this web site and for each of you as it has helped us through some hard times the past few weeks. Good night and God Bless.

Thank you for your prayers clutch55mom. :) I`m lifting our DIV 215 and all the other DIVISIONS in prayers daily. We are literally almost there!! ^_^ It`s exciting to see 4 more days on the countdown clock. Praying for calls tomorrow or Tuesday. God Bless.

Thank you for prayers clutch55mom : ) Deejay same divison as my SR : ) Hope and pray they all are safe and all have success : ) they have come so far. God Bless them. Loving the countdown clock! Hope we all get our calls tomorrow and Tuesday!

Clutch55mom, thanks for the prayers! Our SRs can use all the encouragment and prayers we can send them!

I was wondering, I read somewhere that they do BS on Sundays, so is there a chance our SRs will go then instead of Monday? Just wondering if anyone knew.

 

I did too but they said that, that rarely happens but we can only pray on it for now. :)) God Bless.

Hi Mollypie,

Where did you read that? I was wondering the same thing. Hope they do!

The only days they don't do BS21 are Friday and Saturday nights (it is designed to run 24/7 but does not on F and Sa and that  has to do with funding and significant contractor cost...I am assuming that these days are chosen also as PIR is every Friday and Captains Cup every Saturday)  and on Federal Hoilidays. We used to see them on Sundays frequently but lately there has not been many on Sundays.

Things change all the time!

You've got 10 Divisions and two have gone through? BS21 can handle up to four Divisions (of 88 each or 352 recruits and their facilitators) at a time.

Thank you FireTeamLeaderWife!

I work 12 hour night shifts. If in fact 215 went to BS21 tonight, they started an hour before I started my shift and will be sailors by the time I get off shift in the morning. Right now they are on hour 5, only 7 more to go! Every time I look at the clock, I am thinking about all the SRs in 215, praying for them non-stop!

Has anyone heard from their new sailor yet? Sitting on pins and needles waiting for my call.

Son called three hours ago. Division 215 Ship 09 are sailors!

on my call now! they made it.
