I am praying to God that I receive the "I'm a Sailor" phone call today....I believe he would've gone through battlestations last night. I am carrying my phone around all day and have informed my coworkers to yell if my phone rings :-)
Good Luck to everyone!
Great job Sailors.
Good morning all. So, what divisions went through BattleStations last night? Guessing that 199/200 went. Maybe 201/202 also? I guess we will find out this afternoon when the calls come in!
Well it is now 3:46 am here lol and I have not been to bed. I had to pack and clean so much to get done. I will be traveling all day today but I will check in with my cell phone. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
good job to all the new Sailors
Dana - I am sorry to hear that your SR was so ill...and glad that he is recovered. See you on the next PIR group. Hope your travel replanning goes well. Hooyah to your SR!
Congratulations to all the new Sailors of Divisions 195, 196, 197, and 198!
DanaVann - it is good that the Navy took his health as a priority. Don't know what your plans are - or what will be going on at RTC - but if you look at the RTC site they have posted information about the 3 and 4th of July events that families can attend. It looks great. Maybe you can go a day or so early and catch all a patriotism before PIR. July 6th - great day to graduate BC. Maybe even getting the "I'm a sailor" call on Independence Day. It will work out and still be great. Stay strong.
DanaVann: So sorry to hear of your change in plans, but thought I would let you know, (cause I just went through this) La Quinta Inn, 847-317-7300 still has affordable rooms available. Took me like 20 calls to find this, everyone else was booked. My son just got transferred to this PIR date after being in RCU, so we only had a short time to make reservations also. One of the Marriott's did too, but they were horribly expensive. Good luck to you and your SR, and don't worry, everything will be fine!
