My son called while I was gone today and told his siblings he is sailor. Apparently excited and exhausted from battlestations and still needs to stay awake until 10:00. Can't wait to see our Sailor on Friday!!
Thank you NAVY for all your work for these young men and women!!
Thank you Bonnie! I was in the parking lot at the store and was jumping around wooping it up like a crazy person and i dont even care what they thought!!! thats my BOY!! :) He said everyone passed in 035 and 036!! Congrats to all of them!!
Just got a call from my son...the sensor didn't register one of the laps he ran today so he has to make up the run tomorrow. Which means he'll miss BS with his division. He'll do BA Thur night until Friday morning which means he won't be able to march with his group. I'm so bummed!
oh gosh I am sooooo happpy for all the moms with division that have passed, so happy.
I made this cute white tee today and I have and can make more of Ampi logo.
It is a very nice white background
4" x 4" .55
or a 7" x 7" oval 2.00
If I get enough interest I do have to cover the cost of the paper so if anyone would like AMPI"S beautiful logo for a cap or a small item or the larger for a tee shirt or whatever, please let me know.
Just so all know that the paper is 6.00 for 3 sheets so 2.00 per sheet
Hey, Hey Hey! Packing like a mad woman!! Reading all your posts! CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who's son or daughter has finished so far! Vinny's Mom...I truly teared when I read your post. This is definitely something that can happen to any recruit and I'm not resting until I or my daughter-in-law hears his voice. You know what they say about the fluffy woman....It ain't over til....it's over...My congratulations to all who have gone before us and my prayers to the rest of us who have to endure the next two days!! I can't wait to see you all!! :)
Just got home from work and my cell phone rang!!! It was my Husband!!! I was a walking zombie at work all day and was so scared that I was going to miss his phone call ;) He sounds so tired on the phone but he was happy that it was all over. They're trying hard to stay awake until later on tonight. Congrats to all of the recruits that are now officially US Sailors!!!!
Ok, so the shock of the phone call is wearing off.
I wanted to post that the Officer who got on the phone to explain the situation to me and apologized for the mistake. He said this happened to another recruit earlier today. They caught the error, and he had time to retake the running test. He told me the Battle Stations for Thursday night begin at 8pm and will go until 8am on Friday. Those doing BS on Thursday wont be able to march because of fatigue and liability, but they will be in the bleachers.
Also, Vinny said his division (ship12 div 037) won a flag and this means they get an additional hour of liberty on Friday night. He said they don't have to be back in until 9pm. I heard him confirm this with the Officer.
At the end of the call I told him I have tucked my cell phone in my bra so I wouldn't miss his call...it was at this point he informed me I was on SPEAKER PHONE!
Thank you all for your kind words & prayers. I don't know the name of the other SR in his division this happened to but I'm glad he was able to re-take his running test. I won't know if my son is graduating until AFTER the ceremony!
I'm off of the computer now until tomorrow. Prayers to all going into BS tonight.
Vinnys Mom... there will be several Sailors up in the bleachers for one reason or another. He certainly wont be alone. And the length of time they must stand at attention after marching is amazing... my son was a stick (flag bearer) and I watched him through my binocs the whole time... I was so afraid for them but they did great! Many of them pass out and the body snatchers pull them out. Better he not be one of those guys that gets snatched out! We just want him to pass and be done! You and he will be just a proud of his accomplishment believe me!
Woow - its almost over and yet not over.... just really beginning!
Precious... Id say they are getting ready to get ready!!! They will march to the Ship around 7:30ish and begin at 8:00 as my son told me... So ... they are nervously on the count down now.
Vinny's mom....You are such a inspiration! I think if I would have gotten that news, I would surely crawl under a rock! In honor of you, I WILL KEEP MY CELL PHONE AND LAND LINE TUCKED INTO my bra tonite....then for the trip, I'll keep my cell, my husband's cell, my daughter-in-law's cell, my ex-husband's cell (we are all traveling together) AND my grandbaby's toy cell strapped to my body for the duration of the trip!! Hugs for sure to you! :)
YAH Vinny's Mom! LOVE that you have now informed the RDC's where us diligent women...determined NOT to miss a call...stick our phones! HOOYAH! HAAAA! Hysterical...
Ok, on your son...so sorry that happened...but he will BE there, in uniform, and you can stare at him during the entire ceremony...maybe even sit up in the balcony near where he is? Not sure on that one but worth a try...suffice it to say that he probably will want to catch "some zzzz's" at your hotel before doing anything else. Bless his heart....
Praying for the divisions going through tonight....I guess we don't know if 802 or 907 will be there tonight...or tomorrow night...but praying for all!
If four divisions can go at a time, wouldn't the rest of them go tonight? I hope so, this waiting is so difficult. We will be on our way tomorrow so I hope I get a call and it comes after we have landed. I would hate to disturb the whole plane.. Was there an approx. time that people got calls? Congratulations to all the sailors and their loved ones...Vinnysmom, I'm sorry for the stress you have had but I really enjoyed the great laugh you gave us...Happy, Healthy and Safe travel to all..Hope to see you at the MnG...
They should be "on board" now. My son told me 815 tonight.
My belly is in knots. I'm sending positive vibes....
I feel very much like I did at the beginning of BC...i'm gonna feel guilty crawling into bed tonight knowing that our SRs aren't sleeping tonight.

Husband just informed me he had a missed call from "D" with a message saying he did not pass his PTA and that he will not be walking with his division on Friday that he will retry but will not be able to call pass or fail.... not sure what to do now. wish I had talked to him. Dont understand why he would call his dad and not me. Hid dad never hears his phone.But I am just a wreck...how many chances do they get? Wish I knew what happened.
It's a good thing my son called and said that he wasn't leaving till Tues. I talked to my boss on Monday and she gave me Monday off. So I was getting my papers together to call the Airline to see if I could switch my flight from Sunday to Monday- I couldn't find my confirmation. Here, I had never booked my return flight! I made a 1 way to IL for my daughter and me, her bus res. back to school in Missouri, hotel and car rental. I forgot to book me a 1way back to Florida! Oh well- at least I didn't have to "change" my flight!
Well, I will see all of you Thursday! I have a lot to do tomorrow night after work, and it's almost past my bedtime. Praying for all the recruits tonight! May we all have good news tomorrow

When I talked to my daughter on Sunday she said that 907 was tonight also.
That means they should have started about 13 minutes ago. Good luck to all of them to night.
