Many prayers for Brett and his family. Servicemen/women are the most selfless people I have ever met. I hope he makes a full recovery.

My brother is Ship 9, Div 3 I hadn't heard anything from him regarding moving... There shouldn't be any shift in the PIR date correct?

OMGosh, I got teary-eyed reading about Brett. My heart, my thoughts and my prayers go out to his family. But SO glad to hear he's more than half-way through the critical period! With seven N4M groups involved, I figure there should be a prayer a minute being said to guide him through the next half.

Good Morning Ladies!

Update on our sailor friend Brett:  Surgery completed about 1a.m.  Bullet went under ribcage and hit aorta...sigh...massive bleeding...transfusion...next 8 hours are critical for his survival (it was 15 hours but he has made it through 7 already).  Dr said had he been older and not so fit (personal trainer in addition to Navy job), he would have died.  I told his mom that I have 7 N4Moms groups praying for him...she is so grateful for that, ladies.  They are a strong Christian family....so keep those prayers going.  Thanks so much!

Dina....Brett truly is a hero...he enlisted in Spec Ops, as a rescue swimmer, but due to being 30 at the time, felt he was "over the hill!"  So switched ratings.  But he is truly a self-less guy...putting others first.  My guess is that this was a lady who had been in his bootcamp class who was attacked....and he is fiercely protective of "his" ladies...!  He is a survivor....

Since he gave you an actual date, you may have just been the first to hear. :)

We have been hearing "rumblings" of some shifting in the PIR at the end of November too. It could be some consolidating for ease etc, since the PIR group on 11/30 is the largest we've seen with 15 divisions and they are "gearing" up for the holidays. Maybe trying to get those incoming divisions in closer quarters.

Mind you this is pretty much a guess on my part at this point. As more info starts coming in we may get a clearer picture. I'll keep watching!
