My daughter called me at 11:45 pm last night. She collapsed on sunday and was taken by ambulance to the VA hosp. Then taken to another hospital for admittance. She is really sick and I am sooo worried.
Thank you for the info CatMom509!
They can hold on to their challenge coins? Im looking for something that my SR can store them in...Any suggestions?
Thank you CatMom509 for posting what they CAN have after BC! It was sweet music to my ears and heart! He will be thrilled to have just a few important things back in his life, at least for a little while. :)
Blessings
Good Morning!
Yes, 2-4 divisions per night for BattleStations. Numerical order except for 800 and 900 divisions. 900 division normally goes on Mon night of PIR week, but not always. But always during PIR week, not the week before. Other divisions will go the week before PIR week.
Kimberly68,
I have given my Sailor daughter 5 Challenge Coins already and I just give her the coins. They come in a small zipper bag backed on a card. The one for IT when she graduated A school and the Petty Officer Third Class one were both engraveable. You put their name with title "ITSA First Name Last Name" and the date they graduated/earned the new rate below that.
I'm leaving it up to her to decide to get a case for her Challenge Coins. She has hers with her, probably all in the square cardboard gift box I presented her first 2 in....
aossanna,
It's 2 - 4 divsiions that go at a time. Brothers divisions go together and they go in numerical order for the most part.
The 900 division goes in with 2 other ones~~
And here's the link to the "Sailors in Pensacola A School...Corry Station too" group that's next for some of you!! Lots of active help for you~~
GeekGoddess,
Yes! You can meet your SR at the airport when he will be flying out to Pensacola! You could give him his cell phone, cell phone charger, laptop, a/c adapter, own comfy underwear, maybe some favorite snacks from your area to him there. You can put all of this into his Navy issued black backpack. Families are welcomed to go to the airports and can get gate passes to be with their Sailors at the boarding gates. Aim to get to the airport by about 3:00 am. It's a valuable and memorable time with your soon to be Sailor!!
easttexasnavymomma,
I would say that a black purse will be the best choice. I have only seen my Sailor daughter wearing the black boots they are issued~~
