Message those BattleStations dates, ladies, as you start getting them from your SRs.  If I get one division's date, I will actually have a date for 2 divisions as they go with their brother divisions.  So be asking and either message me, or send "message to group" up top with the date. No posting of dates on here, please!

Sorry I was MIA today, I spent the whole day working on the PIR ribbons. :-)

My sailor is coming home for Labor day and they are going to have a real wedding for their first anniversary. (they got married at the court house while she was in A-school, 4 days before her hubby went to boot camp.)  Nothing like short notice lol. Lots of planning and lots of phone calls not enough time for invitations lol.

I hope everyone had a great day.

OMG..that is great to hear from your SR from ship 11 div 281. Glad to hear cold is gone. My son had cold sore throat, pink eye..but he is better. Lots of studying to do these last couple weeks probably no phone calls for anyone. He too is very excited to be close to the end of this journey. What do you mean our div. is second from last?

sdfavors:  This group will start BattleStations towards the end of next week. They will continue at the beginning of PIR week.  Most final tests will be next week, I think.  Yes, once they pass their final tests, they are ready for BattleStations.  The lower-numbered divisions complete training first and go through BattleStations first. 

Speaking of that, ladies, it is time to be asking for BattleStations dates.  Your SRs should be aware of them now...or soon.  We cannot post them on the site, but you can message them out.  So please use the "Send Message to Group" prompt at the top and message any dates you get.  I will start a schedule!  I will then send it out to you all.  They most likely will start a week from Thurs.

One letter late last week and another one today from ship 11 div 281. Cold gone but still some sniffles left.... Son lost 20lbs. had to be refitted for dress whites. Pt tests coming along...worried now about academic tests. Excited about being near the end of this journey. No phone calls..he mentioned they hoped they would get another one, but said that would probably not happen since their div. was second from last.

btw, right when the grad ceremony is over....you need to have a plan with your SR. For example, where will you meet when they call LIBERTY....you must establish a plan with them. Our was that she was going to stand right where she was in her div. They post a sign before PIR, when you are walking in, which div will be standing where, so you can sit in front of them...thats the easy part. So when the ceremony is over, if they stand somewhat in that square, you can find them. Our problem was that we planned that but here's what happened really.....the walk in with their rain jackets folded in their hands,  they march to their spot and than a SR goes around and hands them that jacket for the PIR and than at the END, the SR's HAVE to go fetch their rainjackets or they will get in trouble if they don't have it back in their hands.

So, Courtney went to find hers and we didn't know she was taking off to do that and we were like Where did she go????? So we sort of panicked...but she was only a few people away from us... 1003 graduates, 2000 parents flocking on the floor is Bedlam....literally. you need to say to your SR where you want to meet after they get their Rain Gear back, they will absolutely know what you are talking about....they are going to say,,,hey how do you know that...well, a wise ole bird told me to get it straight so the parents don't have a cow! TRUST ME on this one!

Anyone heard from their SR from Ship 11 Div 281?

Any phone calls? Received letters. Everyone is pretty much over sickness and gonna be a tough last two weeks. Gotta buckle down and work even harder to get thru this part of the journey. Best of luck to all!!
