DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Comment by Marilee Courtney's mom on April 3, 2010 at 7:43am
Tara~~ They will probably be doing the battlestations on Monday the 5th. That is why she told you that you will get a call on the 6th. Reguardless you will get your phone call. She will either tell you to not come to the ceremony and not to schedule anything until she calls you again with a time or...she will tell you she is a SAILOR! T hink they are doing battlestations with my daughter can't be 100% sure on that though. They made it this far and remember no news is good news momma! {{{HUGS}}} please post when you know something!

Tara, I think JessicaB and Deanna are right. I don't think ship06/div921 has done BS yet. My son didn't mention anything when he called for refrence info a couple days ago. He said they were getting a reward call today sometime. I'll post if I hear anything about BS! Let's both try not to worry and pray even harder!! God bless our kds!
Comment by Tara ~ Allie's Mom on April 3, 2010 at 1:54am
Ok wow now I am stressed out! My daughter is division 921 ship 06 and in reading some messages sounds like she didn't pass unless she is one of the two??? Ugh!!! I recieved a letter wedensday said all was well and she would be calling on the 6th ....
Comment by mommieof5 on April 3, 2010 at 1:43am
Thanks Navy Wife 22 for that info on Division 146! I hope he passed!
Comment by Deanna_H_Proud_FC2's_Mom on April 3, 2010 at 12:23am
Stevens Proud Step Mom, my son is DIV 921. I don't think they have their battle stations until Monday or Tuesday. They should be calling us tomorrow (they earned it) so we can ask then for sure!
Comment by mommieof5 on April 3, 2010 at 12:05am
Oh sorry My sons Division is 146 and Ship #3 can anyone offer any information?
Comment by mommieof5 on April 3, 2010 at 12:03am
I am trying to find out if my sons entire division passed BS becasue I not yet received a phone call fron him!
Comment by proudWImom on April 2, 2010 at 11:23pm
We have a SAILOR too !!!! (DIV 145)Got the call around 1:45 central time. My daughter and I were in the movies and I was holding the phone on my lap in case it "vibrated" since I had the ringer off. Luckily we were they only people in the theater so I just answered it and my daughter and I got to talk to him for quite awhile. At first he tried to fool us by asking if I could change the reservations but then felt sorry for me and told the truth. Said he had a hard time finding us and had tried multiple phone numbers before reaching me. We weren't expecting the call until after 3pm so were surprised!!! Said the whole DIV did great. He said it was hot, hard and long but now that he has gone through it he said it actually was fun and he wouldn't mind doing it again! What a glutton for punishment :)

Hoping to get a quick call from him on Thursday with more info on his departure time. Said it could be as short of a visit as a few hours Friday and on the plane Friday pm to more hours Friday and on the plane Sat early am. We probably won't know until Fri after PIR. Have already made plans o where he is to meet us when liberty is called since we heard that it is a mad house on teh floor with everyone looking for their loved ones. Congrats to all and can't wait to meet everyone in a week!!!!
