I can really understand you being anxious b/c you haven't heard yet. I was looking for your recruits div and ship # and if you put this in the search bar there are a few posts from a few moms I read where if they didn't pass the first time they are going to do this again on Monday...I will be praying for you and your son/dtr and know that you will be getting some good news early next week.

O.k. I know this is just another crazy cycle on this Yo-Yo, but I just realized that we will be going in different directions after PIR and it actually made me sad.

Ladies thank you for the update on Battlestations. I have updated the page. I am switching between Grrrrrr and tears right now as I can't make the spreadsheet I made post anywhere. Jessica my angel sent me a message and she is going to try to help. Meanwhile, I am going to PM everyone as I know I can do it through regular e-mail - I tried it. I know I just need to relax and realize this leg of the journey will be over soon. I can't wait to meet all of you. This experience has taught me that friends are those that you carry in your heart. You never have had to meet someone to consider them a friend.

So,I just thought I would ask again by chance does anyone have somebody that was in Division 146 Ship #3? I am trying to find out if my son passed Battle Stations? I am just an anxious mom waiting for the call! His graduation date is supossed to be on April 9th and as far as I was told his Battle Stations started on Thursday and he would be completed with it on Friday morning which would have been yesterday! and still no call!

My son told me that whichever division wins gets the Captians Cup trophy for the week, and its a big deal as far as bragging rights go :)

Hello, My daughter told me the same thing about the captains cup. She said it was like when they were in school and had those races against each other. Is this like a fun thing? After what they have been through, they deserve some fun time.
-
-
When I spoke with my daughter yesterday she said that Captain Peterson was there and that everybody was stoked b/c that doesn't happen very often.
About Captain's cup is this like a ceremony or is it just fun for the sailors? I think I was told relay races and such does anyone know?

Does anyone have any info to give on Division 146 Ship #? I have not received a call yet and worried that he has not passed his BS?
