Comment by FreeBird61 on April 16, 2011 at 8:15pm: You mean she is going to call us again..I don't think so...she will probably call her boyfriend this time UGH!!!

Comment by cclivingston on April 16, 2011 at 8:01pm: Love Him- Does he still not have time to retake swim test? I thought they could retake tests until they pass them and then still do BS with another DIV before PIR.

Comment by cclivingston on April 16, 2011 at 7:50pm: My mom just called me to tell me that my sailor son just called her and my dad. So everybody else in div 142 keep your phones close by.

Congrats to the winners of CC today. I know y'all are proud!

Comment by annamichael on April 16, 2011 at 7:03pm: Congrats to the Captain's Cup winners!

LoveHim - I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure he will work extra hard and make sure nothing else gets in his way of seeing you! :)

Comment by LoveHim4/29 on April 16, 2011 at 6:04pm: Thank you guys so much (what would I do without Navyformoms). I know he'll work hard this week, just hope he's not too hard on himself because I know he and every other recruit wants to graduate and get out of there.

Comment by Megs-Sailor Wife on April 16, 2011 at 5:58pm: LoveHim-Keep ur head up!! Send him tons of love and all will be a-ok!!!

Comment by hholiday42211 on April 16, 2011 at 5:50pm: LoveHim I know he'll work hard these next days and get through for the 29th. Don't be sad, be strong. He's working hard and will be so happy to see you too.

Comment by janlee on April 16, 2011 at 5:46pm: Congratulations to the divisions who took the Captains Cup today. Im sure everyone had fun, and it was a nice break for all the recruits..:))

Lovehim--So sorry to hear youre BF was sent back a division. Hopefully this will be it and all goes well this time..good luck to you and him..:)

Comment by juliea243 on April 16, 2011 at 5:39pm: sailormom: I'm so sorry about your daughter. I bet since you haven't heard from her she passed. Just wait until battlestations I bet she will call you and tell you she is a sailor.

Comment by LoveHim4/29 on April 16, 2011 at 5:35pm: so I just found out my bf won't be graduating on 4/22, he didnt pass a swimming test so they moved him into another DIV&& his PIR will be 4/29. I'm kind of sad because I was so looking forward to seeing him this upcoming week, either way I'm still going to see him on 4/29.

Congrats to DIV 143, 146 & 148 for the CC titles!
