Not sure if this group started BattleStations last night or will tonight. I would ask that Div 009-012 families have phones available this afternoon just in case. Calls can start as early as 2 pm Central time but go for a while. Normally they start BattleStations on Thurs nights, but lately, some have started on Wed nights....so beware!

Thanks, N4M. Yes, I know you were repeating Sarge's info. No problem! Maybe he is not aware of the little private ceremony before PIR? But it doesn't matter. I think most will want to get there early anyway and most will!
Good Morning!

Diannep, I am just repeating what Sarge said. :) Thanks for all you do and the effort of keeping us well informed. If you say leave early, early it is!

N4M: Hmmmm....I believe there is a special ceremony for the Honor Recruits/families held before PIR at a separate part of the base. So that would involve the families getting there earlier. But I know that would not be a problem for Sarge to get all there.....he has a large fleet of drivers! Those who have Honor Recruits are mailed a letter from RTC that will arrive probably within a week of PIR, if not earlier. So the families are made aware of this from RTC.

Thank you all so much, I feel so much better! I cannot believe after all my son has been going through, and the one little thing we needed on our end (The letter with the Password!) we can't locate!!! Looking forward to meeting other parents in the "SAME BOAT!"!!!

I talked to Sarge today. He said that if you are coming to Meet and Greet, you can reserve your shuttle with him then and not to worry, he will get you there as early as you want. He also said that if your SR graduates with honors, you don't have to worry too much about getting there early because you will have especial sitting. You will know if your SR graduates with honors during your "I am a sailor" call. Make sure you ask your SR about it. She/he may be so tired he/she may forget to mention it. :)
Goo night everyone!
