Comment by Moped on April 17, 2011 at 8:36pm: AnnaMichael-it is possible to have 4 divisions go through each night. As far as I know Div 143/Div 144 are still going tonight as planned.

Olivia - my son is in Div 143 and I did not get a phone call today.

Comment by annamichael on April 17, 2011 at 8:30pm: Linda - how are they able to have taco bell and watch TV? That is awesome! Is that everyone or just a select few? Also, if 145 and 146 are going tonight, does that mean 143 and 144 will go tomorrow night? Or can 4 divisions go at once? My boyfriend is in 144 and I'm hoping its tonight because I sure do want that call tomorrow!! :)

Comment by Olivia (Ship3Div143) on April 17, 2011 at 8:29pm: did anyone from DIV 143 get a call today???

Comment by danag2011 on April 17, 2011 at 7:22pm: My SR is in Ship 3 Div 146. We received a letter from him Friday and he said that he was going through Battlestations on Sunday. Guess we'll find out soon.

Comment by Linda on April 17, 2011 at 7:09pm: My son is on the phone now talking to his brother - Div142. It seems like things are a lot better now that they have passed Battlestations and are officially sailors. He has had Taco Bell, watched a bit of TV, went on the computer, and has called us Fri, Sat & Sun.

CDanielle - I saying prayers for your SR to pass the swim test so he can do Battlestations soon!

Good luck to all of the SRs in Battlestations tonigh! My blue candle is burning for all of you! My son said that 145 & 146 are going tonight.

Comment by CDanielleR on April 17, 2011 at 6:50pm: @J'sMom he is currently in a FIT Div, he said one side of the room is filled with people on crutches and that are sick, he said the other side, his side is full of people that have failed a test. He was originally in DIV 141.

Thank you everyone! I was in the mall shopping for new shoes for Friday and as I was about to go look for a purse I saw that 847 area code and I just screamed and sat on a bench and talked to him. It was so good to hear his voice and he sounded like himself. I told him if he missed the float by 10 seconds he will surely get it next time. He said he is ready to be a sailor in sailor heaven with the rest of his division :). He says he really wants to graduate with his division. He did also confirm some divisions were doing battlestations tonight. I told him I have been having dreams of him calling me saying "i'm a sailor" and he says he really knows he is going to pass because he says my dreams come true lol. His aunt told his mom that she had a dream that his mom told her he passed his swim last night lol. Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts! Lets continue to pray he passes that float and for everyone else that is still needing to pass a test!
