Comment by joshswife(Ship11Div212)PIR06/11 on June 1, 2010 at 11:36pm: Keldford~ I am so happy for you and I can not even imagine how you must feel right now. Now just think how your husband must feel?!?!? Lucky you for great seats. Tell him N4M is so proud of him and you for supporting him during this.

Comment by kledford ship 11 div 215 on June 1, 2010 at 10:34pm: Tristans mom- Thank you! I am so very excited and have never been so proud in my life!

Jan- I think my husband said in one of his letter that Battle station would be on the 9th! I would love to get a phone call but I know our guys are doing great!

Comment by JudyB. on June 1, 2010 at 10:29pm: Hi Moms of PIR 6/11/10 - Feels good to be back on site after a week away, so much information and from what I've read were ALL feeling anxious about the coming days. I have been praying for every Recruit on our ship to be able to execute their commands as trained and to know that they ALL have great support in us and in themselves. For those of them that are sick, that they will start to feel better and are able to see themselves finish with their divisions...and then Us moms will receive the" I'm a Sailor" call.

Sophia, Kim - I to received a phone call on Friday...T was real sick I could hear it in his voice( deep) and no energy( I wish I could make him chicken noodle soup) and decongestant meds!! lol If only it was that easy!!

Kledford - What an honor...you must be beaming with Pride and Joy of the news that you're husband will be recognized at PIR for All his efforts at BC. Tell your husband that we Thank Him for his hard work and for serving this Great Nation of ours.

To the newbies - what a joy for you to have found your way here to these forums and that we are all here for you.

Comment by Jan1 on June 1, 2010 at 9:59pm: My son is also in Div 215 and we have not received any calls for almost 2 weeks. I got some mail last Thursday, but nothing since. Any idea when 215 is going to do Battlestations?

Comment by kledford ship 11 div 215 on June 1, 2010 at 9:45pm: I haven't received a phone call from my husband in almost 2 weeks! has anyone from Div 215 got any calls? I hgot some letters last week and then again today. I got a letter from the Commanding Officer saying that my husband was the Honor Graduate for his Division!

Comment by Sophia on June 1, 2010 at 9:30pm: Sealifedifferently - So glad our recruits know each other!! I'm hoping since I didn't a phone call today my husband is still good to graduate on time. He's a hard worker, so I'm sure he pushed himself through being sick!

EileenS - Thanks for the info! I can't wait for that phone call!! It will make all this separation worth it.

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on June 1, 2010 at 5:55pm: Hi everyone, I have not been able to post for the past week in a half, but jsut got caught up on everything. I had a great week though... got to talk to my son on Friday and on Monday YEA!!! he has his PT final today and BS this week. I will be praying everyday for all the recruits until BS 's are complete.

Sophia - My son siad that he knew your husband and he thought he was pretty cool!!! He will do fine and I will add him to my prayers.

Can't wait to see you all.

Comment by Sophia on June 1, 2010 at 12:06pm: Thanks for all the encouraging words!! I'm trying to stay busy today so I don't think about his test. I booked my flight, car and hotel :) I can't wait to see him in 1 1/2 weeks!!!

Comment by joshswife(Ship11Div212)PIR06/11 on June 1, 2010 at 10:14am: Ladies~ My little bro is in Marine boot camp and they are doing their version of Battle station this week also. My point to telling you guys that is one of the moms got a list of people together so that the guys had 24 hours prayer coverage. I was thinking if any of you guys would like to do that, it would help the boys. How they did it was everyone take a selected hour each day and pray or meditate for the guys that entire hour. For instance, I have prayer hour today and Wensday from 9pm to 10pm. Please let me know if that's something you would be interested in.

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on May 31, 2010 at 10:04pm: Pam we are driving from Cleveland area. It really isn't a bad drive. and when you figure flight and car rental of shuttle from airport to hotel it can get costly. I heard like $50 one way.but who knows.

Prayers for all for battlestations. I know all will do well.

Sophia- my son was ill one day last week on LLD (light limited duty) so he said in his letter. Hopefully your guy is feeling better and things stay as planned.
