Debbie G ~ If you cannot make it to Great Lakes, friend me and send me a message with your SR name and we will "Adopt" him for the weekend if he gets liberty. No one should be alone during this wonderful time. I love to be a mom to many!!!!!! Also, I would love to "Pay it Forward" and do what was done for my SR during Thanksgiving! Golden Rule.....Do unto others as you would have them do unto you! Have a blessed day!
Debbie G ~ If you can get to Great Lakes you can stay with us! We will accomadate you in our hotel and we have a 12 passenger van "bus" and there are 6 of us...so there will be plenty of room. Just a little "Southern" hospitality being thrown out there. Please think about it and let me know. I would hate for anyone to miss a SR PIR. We can make it happen for you :-)! Praying that if any Divisions went through BS last night and are still going through they PASS and Mom's get phone calls TODAY! Praying I am one :-)!!!!! Everyone have a blessed day!
Added a Great Lakes RTC Maps discussion.
I'll have to see what happens in the next day or two/after I talk to him.
IM COMPLETELY PACKED AND READY TO GO!!!!! HOPING MY MAN PASSES EVERYTHING AND DOES BATTLESTATIONS TONIGHT!!!! :) I WANNA GET THAT CALL TOMORROW BEFORE WORK!!!! :):):):):):):):) I LOVE HIM SOO MUCH AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIM!!!!!!!
I hope 019 goes tonite; I need to talk to my SR and see how he feels about me not coming to PIR because my "staying arrangements" have fallen through and since I'm not working I really can't afford to come. I think he'll be fine with it, but I want to talk to him and explain so that he doesn't expect me to be there and then I haven't shown up...
Thinking now that 017-020 may go together, and 905 will go a separate night.
I think you are right, Celia.
Yes, ProudNavyMom. Very normal for them to be a little scared in the homestretch.
Yes, if they fail BattleStations, they usually get a chance to go through again before PIR. But most pass it the first time.
Ok so if they do not pass for some reason then they are able to take it again?? I received a letter today from my SR and she was not her normal confident selft she sounded pretty worried...im thinking this is normal??
