My SR answered the survey this past Sunday and said they are in week 5 and this week they are doing firefighting then next week they prepare for Battle Stations. He said the RDC are loosening up on them but they still call them ass jacks and ass turds and many other names he did not mention……..LOL……….they had their pictures taken last week….they have their last inspection tomorrow…….his bunkmate is from Avon Park FL which is where my husband grew up and all of my SR’s aunts and uncles still live there……small world……..sounds like the unit is pulling together as a family…….my SR sounds happy and excited for Battle Stations. :)

Just received my PIR ribbon from Uniquememorymakers.com...such a nice ribbon! I thought it was going to a little ribbon and was pleasantly surprised that it's size! LaLa you did a beautiful job. It will be the envy of everyone who does not have one!

Did anyone else hear from their SR yesterday in division 366? I got a very short call from mine and he sounded really down. Said they didn't do well in batllestations, but did say "I'm a Sailor". Not exactly what I was expecting when I got that call.

Cy4ty, my SR is div 366 and I heard nothing but I know others did. Now I am really worried tho.Did your SR say the entire division passed? This waiting is hard. Maybe I will not be coming to PIR this weekend

Hi Calirose! Through one of the other moms I found out they all did pass! But they lost time on their phone call and their liberty after PIR. Have a good day! only 5 days left now!

Hi Cy4ty - Yes, I got the "I'm a Sailor" call yesterday. He sounded really down also but did say everyone passed. He told me they did not do very well because there were some kids in div 366 that have been goofing off on a regular basis and during Battlestations so, the whole division lost time off their phone call and they lost time off their liberty after PIR.

Thanks Cy4Ty, printed out my parking pass last night just in case so now looks like I still get to use it...makes me happy but I really just wanted to hear his voice tell me he's a sailor now, but guess it's not about be me now is it. As much as I'd like it to be. lol

Calirose, I so hope you get a call soon. I know that the whole division passed. If he passed his final PFA and did battlestations with his division, then he did pass. If he still has to pass the PFA then he may do battlestations with another division and still graduate on Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get a call soon to let you know what is happening.
