<p>You will have to copy and paste this to word and tweak it a little so that it works for you. This is one of the questionnaires I sent my sailor/daughter. It is a great one to send now that your recruits are halfway through. Plus you can get answers to questions you need answers to. And they take less time than writing a letter so the recruits love them. Change it around and make it yours and have fun with it. There are some very encouraging parts near the end.…</p>

This is a test of the “NavyMoms” broadcasting system, should this be an actual GPA butt busting exam you would have been informed by your RDC. Remember this is only a test!<br/> <br/> 1. What is your name sailorr? _____________________________<br/> 2. What is your rank? __________________________________<br/> 3. What is your serial number? ______ JK don’t really put that haha.<br/> 4. What is today’s date? _______________ BC day? Ex week-1 day-2______________<br/> 5.

How many flags has your division won? __________________<br/> 8. Tell me something funny about your chief or petty officer. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/> 9. Do you get test grades on the book exams or just a pass or fail? ______________ <br/> 10. If so, what were the highest and lowest scores you have received? ____________<br/> 11. Has anyone made you laugh out loud? __________ Who? ___________________ And why? ______________________________________________________________________________<br/> 12. Are you happy with your decision to join the Army? _______________________<br/> 13. What? You thought this was the Navy? _______ hahahaha<br/> 14.

Do you even miss your cell phone? _______________________<br/> 22. Is anyone giving you a hard time? __________________ Cause I can come up there and woop some ass!!! No really I can!!! Don't think I won't do it. I have been thinking about breaching that gate.<br/> 23. How many hours of sleep do you get each night? ___________<br/> 24. Is it getting easier to get up early? _______________________<br/> 25. Are you or your whole division Grad N Go or Saturday Departure? _________________<br/> <br/> Ok, now is time for some advice. <br/> I guess you have realized that boot camp in many ways has gotten easier in the last couple of weeks. But now it is getting hard again. The RDC’s have loosened up a little and you have made some friends. It is no longer about what you can do. It is about what your group can do together as a team. When you are going through battle stations remember what they want is teamwork. There is no “I” in team. You must be able to work together. Battlestations is to prepare you for an actual emergency on a ship. They have to know that you have what it takes to handle any kind of emergency situation. So when you are going into battlestations think of yourself as just one very small part of a machine. If all the other parts are not working the machine will fail. If one part is having a hard time you must step in and help that part out. If you need to take the lead do it. If you need to let someone else take the lead let them. That’s what teamwork is. You can do this. You should know by now that you have to work together. The RDC’s are not looking for who does the best at this point. They are looking at how well you come together as a group and how you handle an emergency. Take care of your team first and do your part. Help those who are having a hard time. Don’t think you can’t be set back at this point because you can. You have to keep busting your ass to get this done. You have come too far and grown too much to turn back. Now it is time to finish this task. If a division does bad as a group it looks bad on the person in charge. It makes him/her look like they didn’t do their job. So bust your butts and get this done together as a team. You can do this. Most recruits say battle stations is fun after it is over. But you must have that teamwork. So make sure everything y’all do from this point on is all about teamwork. Yeah!!!! GO TEAM!!! You got this, you really do. Good luck! And this Navy Mom loves you all….<br/> <br/> 26. Answer only questions 1 -3 above. Hasn’t the Navy taught you anything? Lol Only give your name, rank and serial number Sailor !!!!!!

<p>This is the final test for your SRs. It is a 12 hour overnight drill that tests them on all they have learned and may encounter when deployed on a ship. It takes place on the USS Trayer, a Disney-created very realistic ship that allows them to be properly evaluated in all areas. They start in the evening and conclude the following morning with the capping ceremony. This is where they trade that "Recruit" cap for the "NAVY" cap, and they have now graduated and are sailors!

<p>This is the final test for your SRs. It is a 12 hour overnight drill that tests them on all they have learned and may encounter when deployed on a ship. It takes place on the USS Trayer, a Disney-created very realistic ship that allows them to be properly evaluated in all areas. They start in the evening and conclude the following morning with the capping ceremony. This is where they trade that "Recruit" cap for the "NAVY" cap, and they have now graduated and are sailors! A very emotional time for your sailors after all of their hard work! Later in the afternoon, you should receive that much anticipated "I'm a Sailor" phone call. These usually start around 2 pm GL(Central) time and can go for a good while. They can start earlier or later, so we recommend that you have that phone with you at all times! This is one call you don't want to miss! Some may not call because they had "watch" but should hopefully call the next day. Please ask your new sailor if all in the division passed and post that info for others to see in the event all don't receive the phone call. </p>
<p>Teamwork is the name of the game. They are divided into smaller groups and evaluated as a team member and individually. <span style="color: #0000ff;">This is what a Chief said about BattleStations: 150-300 SRs go through a night; out of those, 3-10 may fail and have to repeat BattleStations with another division. Teamwork is the key. If the SRs keep their mouths shut, listen and focus, and perform well as team members, they should pass.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">They go through with their brother division. Up to 4 divisions (2 sets of brother divisions) can go a night. Sometimes only 2 divisions go (brother divisions) or 3 divisions (set of brother divisions and an 900 or 800 division). They usually start on Thurs night, a week before PIR, but lately...some have been starting on Wed night. There are no BattleStations on Fri or Sat nights because of Captains Cup on Sat. This is a fun athletic competition between all of the divisions in the PIR group. It is always held the Sat before PIR. They can resume BattleStations on Sun-Wed nights of PIR week. They start with the lowest-numbered divisions, and work their way up. 900 and 800 divisions go randomly, unless there happen to be two 900 divisions or two 800 divisions in the same PIR group (rare). In that case, they go as brother divisions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">SRs have to pass ALL TESTS before they are allowed to do BattleStations. Although some of you could get a "scripted" call from your SRs saying that "I didn't pass my PFA, don't come to graduation, I won't be there," don't panic. They will have up until Thurs before PIR to pass the PFA...then would go through BattleStations that night with the next PIR group. They would then be at PIR, sailors in uniform, but in the balcony-- too tired to march after having been up all night.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The brother divisions for this group are:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">185+186, 187+188, 189+190, 191+192</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">812</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">929</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Please ask your SRs when their division's BattleStations are and post here and on the main board. I will then get the schedule started for this group! HOOYAH!</span></p>
