Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 30, 2012 at 11:26pm: Proudmom~ what were you thinking your SR was on, and how did you figure it?

Comment by Proudmomof2navysailors Div 285 on July 30, 2012 at 11:23pm: Well, now I'm really confused, cuz my boys left on the 11th. So, that means yesterday was their 3rd Sunday. I need help figuring this out too. Anybody rose ship 12 div 285??

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 30, 2012 at 11:16pm: Lala~ does it sound right?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 30, 2012 at 11:12pm: It is great to see you guys working so hard to help each other figure this all out. It took me forever to try and figure this stuff out, and then I still had to wait a questionnaire from my recruit to tell me what week and day she was on lol.

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 30, 2012 at 11:06pm: Pambrose~ so if my SR is in 2-1. Yours should be in 3-1, I'm thinking, because yours has been there for 3 Sundays, correct?

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 30, 2012 at 11:00pm: ***ALSO*** she arrived 17July.

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on July 30, 2012 at 10:59pm: I am thinking that today is 2-1. Looking at the breakdown of BC they gave us, after the 2nd Sunday is 2-1. This makes sense because they have 6 weeks of training, and the week following training weeks is there last week, and that's for Battlestations and PIR. From today to 7Sept is just under 6 weeks.

This is for pir 9/7, but my SRs in ship 09/div 288.

Comment by Proudmomof2navysailors Div 285 on July 30, 2012 at 9:20pm: Pambrose- my sons arrived on July 11, and the best I can figure they just started week 3 with a PIR of 9/7

Comment by Barb(Ship9Div288) on July 30, 2012 at 8:49pm: DianneP: Thanks for the info. He's going to Pensacola for A School. Is there a limit on what they can take? Or is it anything they can fit into their backpack/napsack? I'm sure he'd like his I-Pad, computer, phone, and Oakley glasses (can't wait to see the BCGs!). And he's really picky about socks and boxer briefs so I know he'll want those. Everything else he can buy in Pensacola.

Comment by Katvando on July 30, 2012 at 6:55pm: My daughter lost 60 pounds and it took almost 9 months for her to get in. She is very muscular so her weight was always over the limit, but she measured body fat at 29%, so she is well within the limits. Her weight was 1 lb over, but the bmi was good, so I am sure she is losing the 1lb... just got her 2nd letter and she passed her 1st physical fitness test with her being the fastest female. She really worked hard and is still working hard!
