Good Morning!
Expecting calls today from 225/226, who should be completing BattleStations in a couple of hours now. Not sure if 227/228 went with them? Last week, 4 divisions went on Thurs night, although it is more common for just 2 divisions to go through. We will see who calls this afternoon. Calls can start as early as 2 pm Central time. Phones close!

Lauren: I had contacted RTC in the past to see about extras coming to RTC to watch the Livestream in the Chapel. I was told by Brian Walsh that they ask all extras to please stay at the hotels and watch the Livestream there (some hotels will provide the Livestream in the lobby or another room). If some of the extras have special needs, are children, or elderly, etc....they can try and go to RTC to get into the Chapel. No guarantee but they will accommodate if they can.

Lynn: No, you do not need a password to watch the Livestream. The password is to download the gate pass. Anyone can watch the Livestream of the PIR service....

calinavymom: They normally do it on their Training Week/Day 6-5. There will be some divisions going through tonight, calling tomorrow afternoon. The others will go Monday night and some may go Tuesday night. It all depends on how many go through tonight. If 4 divisions go through, then they may only go on Monday night next week, but if only 2 divisions go tonight, then they will go Monday and Tuesday night next week.

Sorry- I know this has already been discussed but I cannot find it. What days does BST normally happen on? My SR for weeks has been saying one day and now yesterday changed it to a different day that I didn't think was a normal day for BST. I think he has finally lost his mind, or maybe I have- lol

Lissie...I got a challenge coin as a grad gift for my SR. Its really just a coin to commemorate their time at RTC. My SR will totally love it he has always loved little trinkets like this. I was so surprised when I got ours in the mail they really are very nice!!
