Angie, that was very naughty of you lol. I can't wait to hear all about it and to hear what your nephew says to you for doing that lol.

OMG< what a stressful week this has been. I finally feel like I can breath lol. I am so sorry I have not been here much this week. The first week of school has been so hectic. So glad tomorrow is Friday. I am going to try and catch up on all the posts now before I have to cook dinner. I hope you all have had a good week. I know you missed me lol.

BattleStations for this group (that is their final test and they are then sailors) will start around Wed or Thurs, a week before PIR week.  So a couple of more weeks!  Remember, we cannot post BattleStations dates on this page (you will get these from your SRs)....but we can private message them.  I will be keeping a schedule, getting my info from you all, so please friend request/private message me when you get a date.  Thanks!  They will start with the lower-numbered divisions and move up...900 divisions usually go around the same week night each time. 

Here is the BattleStations link for anyone who wants to know more about it:

Robin~ My SR is in brother division 288, but haven't heard anything on battlestations yet. Don't think it's for another few weeks...

There isn't much on battlestations because it's supposed to be hush-hush :)

Comment by robin on August 16, 2012 at 4:30pm
Does anyone have anyone or any info about ship 09 Div 287, I'm kind of lost and wonder about battle stations and our..

Naughty girl, Angie!  I have a feeling that you will no longer be the favorite aunt!  :-)

sharbear:  Make sure to have your new sailor's last name on at the MeetandGreets/PIR....Lala puts the name on the ribbons she makes if you would like to order from her.  That way, if another mom recognizes the name from what her own sailor told her, you all can connect!  Don't worry...you should meet lots of people there!

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on August 16, 2012 at 8:13am
Anyone on N4M have a SR initials T.R. Our SR's are good friends :) inbox me. I didn't have much luck with his bunk mate. I'm not sure how we are suppose to find other moms of SR's being do discreet......lol. Got a very long letter that was before day 10 so we all know the theme there. Hard to read and also loved hearing the love you and appreciate you. :)
Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 15, 2012 at 7:26pm

All right ladies in 288! My daughter wrote me asking who's mom's I am talking to on N4M's because she says a bunch of SRs are saying that their mom's have been talking to an Emili's mom :) If you can PM me and let me know it would be great to be able to tell her "oh yeah, I'm talking to so ands so, and will be meeting them at Sarge's before PIR!"

Anyway, hope it's all good. Don't want her mad at me ;)

Angie~ that's FUNNY! Keep us posted!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 15, 2012 at 6:53am

Running out of things to write about? How about a letter from their pet? 

The letter to my Sailor from our cat was hilarious. Our cat is huge and needs to loose some weight and when our Sailor was home she was in charge of feeding him. She kept the bowl full all the time. I talked to the vet and had "special" food and was measuring out what he could have twice a day. The cat "Shadow" was not happy with his rations and kept going to my Sailors bedroom door begging for food. So the letter told her that since she left we have been starving him, that we don't understand his needs and she needs to get back here or at least talk some sense into us. He went on to say that he knew she was all grown up and needed to spread her wings like "Charlie" (our bird) but he couldn't understand why she left him behind with people who won’t take care of him and his needs. And, he knows how much she loves shoes but did she really need to go to camp in a foreign state just to get some boots? They do sell those at the mall right? lmao it was the funniest letter and she loved it hahaha
