Got a letter today. She confirmed Final PFA is today for 174. It's prob also for 173 as they are brother div. She also reconfirmed Battlestation dates. She we are right on. She also said that a lady came in and took pics when they were in fire training I think Tues. Look on FB to see if you see your SR. I believe that is 173 & 174 also. Getting exciting!!!

Hi, got a letter from my son-div.811 yesterday. such a nice mothers day letter.
while he was writing the letter he said their RDC's starting playing Dont Stop Believing over the loud speakers, he said everyone was really enjoying some music and that alot of the guys were really getting into the song. i bet it really lifted their spirits. Nothing about BS though.

tallay: Proper use of GradNGo term is for those moving over to GL A School after PIR. However RDCs are still telling the SRs that they are GradNGo when they fly out on Sat. Proper term for that is Saturday Departure.
So if your SRs say they are GradNGo, ask if they are flying out. If so, they are most likely leaving on Sat and are a Saturday Departures. If flights are full, they will fly out on Sunday.

1proudmomma~I thought it was yesterday, but i could be totally wrong. If it wasn't yesterday, its today or monday. I just know this is such a busy time for them and am sending good vibes every day as they get through these challenging times.
