Dianne - none of our guys or gals have been told. I read that only 4 can go at a time and it appears you have the first groups with 4 divisions. I usually get my letters on Wed and I have been asking my son each letter but they never seem to know things as early as the other divisions. We will get you the message as soon as we hear. We are not even sure it our division got to perform Friday as they were not sure. I do not think they got to.

LOL I feel so out of the loop, don't you? First time during this whole experience too :)

Thanks, Linda. Yes, you are correct. They definitely won't go that first night (Thurs) because there are already 4 divisions...unless something changes with those 4. But could go Sun, Mon, or Tues night.

HI Ladies..joining your group today as my son will be with your sons/daughters tonight at BS. He was originally apart of 118 with PIR on 04/01 but he didnt pass his final PFA. He was sent to FIT to get his run together and finally passed today. Just talked to him and he said they placed in in 923 to run BS this evening.

He wont be apart of your PIR and will go straight to A school..Im just so happy he made it through. My blue candle is already lit and I look forward to seeing those "My new Sailor just called" posts tomorrow. Good luck ladies =)

congratulations. good luck to him tonight. we are hoping that 923 will be doing BS with our Division 147 and 148. We are waiting to see if 145, and 146 did it last night.

Hi Camyandrodsmom! I remember you from when your daughter went through bootcamp. And now your son is about to become a sailor! That is so great...so glad that he hung in there with that run and got it done...I know that call you received today from him probably just sent you soaring! I know he will do great in BStations with 923.

So here's congratulating you ahead of time on your 2nd new sailor!

Hi there diannep..yes you do remember me from last year. My daughter was in 269...lol yes i have two that have gone through BC in less than a year! To top it off..my youngest son is now in Army BC in Fort Jackson..whew! Thanks for your well wishes..this has been one emotional year for me..but Im very happy to say the least!

@linda_d...Thanks sweety for thoughts and prayers. Jarrod will be going to VA for CS school. Inbox me your sons information. My daughter was in San Antonia last year..she's also MA! =) She loves it! I was sad about not going to PIR a few weeks ago but Im just glad he passed and will be moving on. I didn't get to go to my daughters A school grad but I will be there for my son just so that we can see him "graduate" since he didn't PIR.

Camy - I am so happy that he finally got the green light to make BS. My thoughts are with you just the same and where is Rod going to A school? My son is heading to San Antonio on Sat. for MA school. We will all be anxious to post tomorrow night. I am sorry you will not get to go to PIR but also know you are glad he is just getting it over.
