Any word on any going to Pensacola? Heard they possibly were being held in GL for a few days.
750 to 900 sailors will graduate this Friday. Public Affairs Office probably has an exact number. Hard to predict since divisions lose some to separation and asmo, and then get some back from earlier PIR groups. But they average 65-75 sailors per division by PIR.
angie...i was also wondering...any news
mine is going to San Antonio, leaving Sat at 05:00, said we cant go to the airport.. I didnt get to talk to him, he said the call wouldnt go through to my cell phone so he called his dad..after 8 long weeks of needing to hear his voice, I still have to wait 2 more days!!! But my husband said he sounded good...
Does anyone know approximately how many recruits/sailors will be graduating on Friday? No call yet. Thanks. Div 298
Sorry for all the little posts but I am talking to her on facebook the same time lol. Not a very good multi tasker.
Stacy, his wife is going to have to mail him his stuff overnight mailing now.
