...and please message me BattleStations dates since I'm keeping a schedule that I will send out to all.
missync: Sarge has been around for ages and "collects" info just like we "N4Moms veterans" do. We collect from those going through, and from our own experiences. He is very accurate in his info...he also is a wonderful asset to the GL A School students, providing transportation for many to airports. I have never met him, but have never seen a bad word posted about him on here. I don't doubt that he has "inside" info. He is retired from the military (Army, I think????) after 20 yrs of service.
NavyWife&Mom: I put together a BattleStations schedule from the dates you all give me (private message) and then send it out. Up until a couple of months ago, I was able to post it on this site. But no longer allowed to have it publicly posted. But it is important for you all to know when your SRs are going through BattleStations, so I still keep a schedule here and private message it out. So please private message me dates when you hear them from you SRs! I also have been tracking BattleStations dates in the PIR groups since 2010 so pretty much know there is a pattern to when the divisions go through.
Sarge wanted me to confirm "unofficially" that as of right now our recruits who are leaving GL for A School will be leaving early Friday morning. I know most of you knew that already. He said he will have the "official" word this coming Friday. Although RTC says they're leaving on Friday, reservations HAVE NOT been confirmed. It will get done on Friday. So, as soon as I talk to Sarge on Friday and get confirmation on their departure date (STILL PRAYING ITS EXTENDED) I will post it right away. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I really, really want an extra day.
Wow...you guys have been crazy busy since I was gone! LOL. I'm so happy to see everyones going to car pool to Sarge. I just sent you all a PM asking for your addresses so I can mail you your name tags.
Jimbo - if you're going to the Meet & Greet - do you want a tag?
Danagagirl - same for you. Do you want a name tag?
Mim6640 - Hi...I don't think I've seen you on here before. Nice to meet you and I'm happy you got to speak to your daughter. If you will be attending the Meet & Greet I'd be happy to make a name tag for you too.
