TJR's Proud Mom,
Mine (in 253) said the same thing! Hopefully they're both right

My SR is in 253. The letter we got yesterday said we might (underlined three times) get a call on Tuesday... I'd say you might (underlined three times :-D) want to be ready for a call on Tuesday, as well.

Oh, thanks for the advise. But it's not a phone issue... I fly for a living and I was trying to work out my schedule to be on the ground & not at 34,000 ft when he called. It's OK, whatever will happen will happen. Thanks, again. :)

JennBlue,
Two to four divisions go through Battlestations at the same time, so they will all be able to make PIR next week!

Erica,
Just keep your cell phone handy to be able to receive the call whenever it occurs! You could have the home phone forwarded to your cell phone to make sure you receive that important call!

Happy Friday!!

of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has

So excited for everyone & looking forward to next Friday!
Wondering if there is a chance that 253 & 254 will next next? I have to fly out of town for work Sun. Hoping that I will be home Tuesday for a call. If this is something I'm not allowed to ask, please disregard. I've learned to be patient and just let things happen. :)

Congratulations everyone with a Sailor in 251/252! I'm so excited for you!
Diannep- My son is in DIV 938. With PIR today I'm glad they didn't has BS last night but will all the remaining DIV's go Monday or Tuesday? That's alot of DIV's left. They won't have BS Wednesday? I am just making sure because we leave early Thursday for PIR and have read that we shouldn't leave before we get the "I'm a sailor" call. Wondering if we should do something different. Just trying not to be anxious! :) All the information that is posted is so helpful to that end! Thank you!
