Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 10, 2011 at 9:41pm: Oh by the way, I have not been able to find a decent navy blue scarf so I picked out a navy blue bandanna that I will tie on my purse. Just an idea to those of you having troubles finding a navy blue scarf to wear for division 139 and brother division.

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 10, 2011 at 9:33pm: Jessica, your information is very helpful. I got a kick out of don't forget husband, kids, etc..that made me laugh.

My son did say he did some practice with the firefighting but has that with the battlestation I guess. He said he is so glad the confidence chamber is done and over. He said that was not fun at all.

Leslio: My son mentioned your husband again and they seem to get along really well.

Janlee: I know what you mean...I wish there were Like buttons too.

Ladies: I am just so darn excited..going to be hard sleeping for the next 12 days.

Comment by janlee on April 10, 2011 at 9:20pm: leslio---my son just graduated BESS (sub school) on friday..if you have any questions, dont be afraid to ask me. Its all fresh in my head...lol. I joined the BESS/Groton Aschool group, and there is some info on there, mostly other moms/wives who are going thru it, passing on their info as they go. Hope to see you over there when you get back from PIR.

Comment by Proud Mom (2nd Time Around) on April 10, 2011 at 9:15pm: janlee...I hear ya on the like button! lol

Comment by proud4son85 on April 10, 2011 at 8:59pm: Congrats on the phone calls. I thought the firefighting would have happened this past week. Did they say anything of what they just finised this last week? Just so nervous. I was scared to get a call before Battlestations but glad to hear your SRs got reward calls. See you all in eleven days.
