Clarissa, Just read my son's letter dated 2-13. He sounds great and says their div.(104) is doing xcellent and have received every flag possible (5) ! They are now the Senior Division. He sounded really proud and said to tell all the div.104 moms, be happy they are doing great, and that they are so xcited for Friday. Also, tomorrow is the Captain's Cup and they are really looking forward to the fun competition of competing with the other div.'s He also said that Battlestations is Tues.... 2-23, @8p.m. thru Wed. 2-24, 8 a.m. Here I am so worried for him and he writes: Can't wait for b.s. bring it on!!! The call may come Wed. afternoon, evening, or Thurs. morn. depending upon their R.D>C. So just walk around with your phone on and keep it in your pocket !! Good Luck to you and yours---we are doing fine--go div.104, and God Bless all our SR's. It will be o.k., now I just need to pray that this new snowstorm they just predicted for the east coast (again), does not happen on Thursday,2-25 when we leave?????I can't even think about what I might do---find a dog sled with a really fast driver, a snowmobile---or something that will get me there on time.

I was reading some other posts on the general board for PIR 2/26 and some gentleman called the POA today and was told there are No grad n go's in this bunch also ship out dates are March 2 and 3rd. So please do call and confirm I called today for the BS21Dates and got no where. Then in speaking to others from PIR 2/19 they said they got the dates from their sailors themselves. Sorry that's all I know for now.

Thank-you for that True Grit, so glad to hear they won't be grad-n-go. I guess we will have to sit tight and pray hard, for our son's call. Congrats on your son's medal. Did he say what it was for?? That's awesome!

The "I am a Sailor" calls vary in time frame. My son's call came at 10:14 AM. My friend's now husband, called between 1 and 2 PM. Bother were November PIRs. So be prepared for any time frame. Their RDC determines when they make the calls and how long the calls will last. Enjoy!
