I just read on the RTC Facebook page, our SRs aren't allowed to hangout at the Hilton Ohare airport hotel the day they fly out? Did something change?

I am thinking about our SRs today and wondering what they are doing this week if they aren't involved in Battlestation yet. They are likely busy doing something like marching or maybe practicing for graduation. Let's hope it is something fun for them and makes the time go quickly.

Don't quote me on this but I think our SRs will be doing battle stations Friday night. Did anyone's SRs write about it in the letter received this week? I'm on the west coast so I don't get my letters from my husband until Thursday-Saturday. What some of the other moms have been saying from other divisions leads me to believe our SRs are Friday. I guess we will see! Sending up lots of prayers!

I have read that there are no battlestations on Friday nights because of Captains Cup on Saturday. It wouldn't be fair for the divisions to be up all night and then compete the next day.

Rochelle, oh! I didn't know that! Thanks for the info! I wonder when then?!

I have no idea. I wish it would be Thursday night and we would get calls Friday, but I am betting it will be next week.

I am hoping the calls come sometime this weekend. I have no service in my office at work and I'm a wreck that I will miss the call! Thank you for the heads on the possibility of when the calls might be. This next week cannot go by fast enough!!

Sailorjoesmom, I hear you on that one! I'm not holding my breath that we will hear this week. I'm preparing for early next week so I don't get my hopes up. Can you believe the time is here though?! When you guys get the call please post if you think about it so we can all be ready :)

Just got a bonus call from my SR. 306 took their third physical fitness test yesterday and only had three fail which I guess is really low. They have a written test today or tomorrow and if they pass that, they will be ready for battle stations. My husband said they are doing battle stations Sunday night or Monday night. He wasn't sure yet. So if you haven't gotten a call yet saying other wise I think it's safe t say your SR will proceed to battle stations! I guess the RDCs were really impressed with 306s physical readiness. Woohoo division 306!! Hope this brings some of you mamas some comfort :) pray for our SRs as they take their final written test!
