I am SO excited to get my call today! I kept my candle burning all night so my room was dimly lit. Each time I woke up throughout the night I was reminded to pray for my SR, it was so cool :) They must all be so exhausted right now, and hopefully VERY proud of themselves! I keep picturing him in the ceremony when they exchange their Recruit hats for Navy hats and it almost brings me to tears. What a HUGE moment in his life, wow!!! *I wish I could be there to take pictures*

Here's hoping for great "I'm a Sailor" calls from 283 and 284 this afternoon! Should start around 2:30 or 3 EST.
SusanA: Sorry that you were geared up for a call yesterday, but I always thought that 283 and 284 would go together since they are brother divisions. But today will be that much sweeter when you get that call! It is not usually the recruits' fault with wrong info on BStations dates. I think that they are kind of kept in the dark about that many times until right before. It happens! It is going on in some of the other groups too...confusion reigns on days for BStations!
