Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many gate passes can be printed? I need one and I wanted to print one for his grandmother just in case. Thanks!
Cathy: Yes, most of the time, althrough RTC FB will tell you that they can come starting in the morning (In my opinion, only if you live in CA!). :-) I have been following them for over 1.5 yrs now, and have only seen them come in the morning when they finish Battlestations the day before PIR sometimes. But I do tell all to keep phones handy all day just in case.
Lately, the calls have been coming in AFTER 2 pm GL time...but that doesn't mean they will today. So be ready at any time!
Everyone keep our son in your thoughts. He is retaking his run test today and still has time to go through battlestations with another Div before the 26th so he can graduate on time. Regardless we are still planning to make the trip next week to show our support and our fingers will be crossed that we get to see him in his whites with the rest of your sailors.
Honestly I was so busy telling him it would be ok and to run til you puke I failed to ask him his time. When I did ask questions he said he did not know like when was the retest, was he still going to get mail at the same address, what happens next? I'm sure they told him but I think I could not hear them over the sound of him kicking himself. My brother is a marathon runner and built like our son and he says even for him thats a pretty fast clip.
I found 2 different times on 2 different sites so I'm not real sure which it is. One site said 1.5 miles in 13:30 and the other site said 1.5 miles in under 12:30
I'm hoping that he was sore wore out from the rest of the test so that's why he was a little slower. Hopefully when he retests they will just give him the run since he passed everything else so he'll be fresh. From what I read they retest ever other day.
So if we have not heard from our SR's, does this possibly mean that they passed their PFA. Are the times the same for the girls as it is for guys? My SR said she was down to 13.43. By the way she talked in her letter, i thouht she was finished?? Does anyone know?
Congratulations Mike's Mom!! I am so happy for you...Oh gee, I haven't shed a tear since he left to get on the plane on July 5, but as I'm reading these posts they are coming now...I'm afraid I'm going to have several emotional days ahead of me
I haven't gotten any information from my SR, but another mom who has a daughter in my son's division said they were to have a test yesterday and PFA today. So if that is correct and the brother divisions do the PFA at the same time, everyone should be done with PFA's today
Couldn't be more proud of my Sailor and all the men and women who went through Battle Stations with him!!!! Congrats everyone, I know you must be overwhelmed with joy, just as I am!!! <3
Congrats to all the new sailors and their families. I can't wait for my call. My house will be so clean by the time that call comes in. I can't stand the waiting.
So great to start hearing our group is getting those I'm a Sailor calls! I look forward to reading many more exciting posts about everyone getting calls :) This also shows me how close we all our to PIR!!!! Cograts to all new Sailor and their families as well!
Ladies-I have to apologize for being MIA for a while. You see my DH came home from a six month tour in Iraq about 5 weeks ago. Post-deployment is...real. As is Pre-deployment-or what I equal to h*** on earth-and the actual deployment. So been busy reconnecting and adjusting- but EXTREMELY happy!
Even though separation is hard we have been blessed to make our marriage stronger...even after 31 years together. It can be done ladies!
For everyone who have received calls today, congratulations! How exciting! I can't wait for my call! It's all going to fly by now! PIR is just around the corner!

No BattleStations on Fri or Sat nights. Ever.
Brenda, be careful posting exactly when BattleStations are on here. We can't do that any more.
Jana: You can print as many gate passes as you like!
