Comment by diannep on April 9, 2011 at 9:49am: ...sorry for using the word "usually" so much below! :-) That is because "change" is a part of the Navy...so "usually" means that things can change!

Comment by diannep on April 9, 2011 at 9:48am: val: Gov shutdown was averted last night...wheewww....now, let's hope that the "progress" in DC continues! :-)

They usually do not call right after BattleStations (capping ceremony is usually early in the morning). But the calls usually start around 2 pm GL time, but can start a little earlier or later. We advise all to have phones glued to them that day. They call in numerical order, usually from lowest numbered division to highest, but sometimes divisions will call simultaneously. Post when you get your call so others know they are calling!

Comment by LoveHim4/29 on April 9, 2011 at 9:40am: LOL! that's so cool bn4givn =P

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on April 9, 2011 at 9:32am: I bought milk last night and the exp date on it is 4/22! I'll get to see my SR before the milk expires!!! Have a great Saturday!

Comment by val328 (ship 03 Div 147) on April 9, 2011 at 8:47am: Thanks Dianne for answering my question about shutdown. Do they call right after Battlestations? If anyone knows anything about ship 03 Div 147 regarding status of any kind will you please post it? My SR doesn't talk a whole lot about tests or anything and it makes me crazy! I am dying to know something! Thanks guys...hope your weekend is great!!!
