I was thinking that if we all changed our icon that we use to the left of our names, maybe on the dates they go through Battlestations21 we could all have our blue candle shining for them for good luck and praying that all of them make it through graduation. I attached a link if you want to use the blue candle I will be using as my icon/photo during those dates.BlueCandle.jpg
I got a letter today that was written Tues and she said they haven't been given a schedule or date yet. It's gotta be coming soon though, It's so exciting that we are getting to that time. Do you realize we can print parking passes a week from Monday???? It's so exciting.
Hi All,
If anyone hears any news regarding BS21 for 7/175 or their brother division 7/176 please post it, trying to figure out when it might be. Thanks!
