^^^^^BATTLESTATIONS^^^^^
Here is a link to provide you with the BattleStations (their final test) info:
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir562011/forum/topics/battlestati...
Brother divisions in this PIR group:
263+264, 265+266, 267+268
940
Please post on here (not link page) if you have any questions. Be sure to look at the link I put on the bottom of the "link" page for the presentation prepared by "Craig", retired Navy. It has photos and explanations for you about the base, etc.
HOOYAH!
^^^^Ladies, we can no longer post BattleStations dates on N4Moms. Sooooo....if you hear of a date, please "private message" it by using the "Send Message to Group" prompt at the top of the PIR page. I will maintain a schedule here and send it back out to you all via the same way when it is complete. I think it is important for you all to know when your SRs are going through, but we must maintain privacy on the public boards with this info. Thanks!

Thank you for that info on 267's battle station. Does anyone know if the SR's ever don't pass battle stations, and have to graduate with a diff. group? My son is so worried about that.

Chances are, he will pass the 1st time. Most do. I have yet to hear anyone missed PIR because of failed Battlestations (they get to go through again). But...some of them miss it because they didn't pass their final PFA (Fitness Test). So pray that they all pass that which has to be passed before they can go through Battlestations.

If the call comes the day before only, it will be a shame! Some of them might already on transit. And if by chance, the SR is held back for any reason, the parents will be there anyway without knowing it.

I don't think they will be going on Wed night for this group. This is a small group. I have never heard of parents arriving on Thurs for PIR, only to find out that their SRs didn't pass BattleStations on Wed night and would not be a PIR. If necessary, they could sleep Thurs afternoon and go again Thurs night with the next PIR group (but in the balcony for PIR, too tired to march).
Don't think that will be an issue for this group.

My daughter writes her recruiter/trainer said the only way you don't pass battle stations, you have to be/fall asleep.
- She also said it's suppose to be tons of fun!

That is a for sure a FAIL....HA! They are usually good about keeping each other awake---but others have failed for not performing as team members...but it really is very rare. I think I posted in the link above that 3-10 out of 300 may fail....and last week's PIR group had none fail. So let's pray that is the same this time!

Well, they don't have a brother division, so they probably will either go alone or with a set of brother divisions. Although the others go in numerical order, from lowest to highest, the 800 and 900 divisions go randomly. So it will be up to you all with SRs in 940 to find out the date from them and let us know! Then I will post it up top. So be asking your SR!

Thanks. I will ask her in today's letter. Hopefully she will be able to get the information to me, before it happens! We are getting so close! I hope she is performing this Friday and I will be able to find her in a picture! Hope everyone is doing well. Looking forward to meeting all of you at the Meet & Greet!

Wow,thanks for all this great information. I had no idea about any of this. My SR doesnt really write about all this stuff, although he did mention that they just completed the Marlin Spike. He is in ship 10 Div 264. Cant wait for August.

Ladies, Please do not post dates on this page anymore or on the main page. I have to delete the schedule above. Instead, send the BattleStations date you have for your division to everyone using the "Send Message to Group" prompt at the top of the main PIR page. I will then formulate a schedule and send it out to all. We can't have dates on this board anymore...N4Moms rule.
