    We received our "I am a Sailor" call about 5:15 02|941. She really sounded good. She said she is tired and ready for lights out! Hope everyone receives their call soon!
  • Sparkling

    Still no calls here :(

    Leaving for GL in the a.m. - leaving 115 degrees - nice - seeing my Sailor - THE BEST!  Thanks to all who posted on here.  Your comments, questions and support made this journey much easier.  Blessings to all as your Sailors move on to their next destination.

    Where did y'all find the charms for your candle jars?
  • caylex 9/279

    Doreen, I got that little flag necklace at Dollar Tree a few years ago. I was going to use the charm on a scrapbook page.
  • Doreen(07/272)

    Ok, I will keep my eyes open for things like that.
  • Navy_wife_in_training92

    Does someone know the address for the gate for PIR? I know that RTC has posted it, but I can't dig through the page to find it... :)
  • rhonda121199 (Div 269)

    Navy wife:

    when I googled for directions from my hotel...I just typed in the 3405 Sailor drive, Great lakes, IL...from my letters.  It took me right down Buckley to the front gate. 

  • Sparkling

    RTC: "The base address is 3355 Illinois Street, Great Lakes IL 60088."
  • caylex 9/279

  • Sparkling

    Thank you Navywifeintraining ;) I'm going to google the map and print it to bring with us just in case the car I rented doesn't have the GPS I requested.
  • caylex 9/279

    279 is calling home!!

     

    I have a Sailor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • caylex 9/279

    phones there still are not working properly, we only talked 8 min and the call ended

     

  • Mike's Mom

    So Glad groups are getting their calls!!!! 
  • 1DYBUGs Mom/Dana - S9/D280

    YEP!!!!! Same here Alie!!!
  • Jana

    I have a sailor!! Said he thinks everyone in 279 and 280 passed. We talked a while but he was so tired he kept falling asleep. Said he was going to go shopping and would call me back later. He said he's ready for Taps...lol
  • Jana

    He also said 279 made Battle E division
  • diannep

    If anyone talks to their sailor who just recently completed BStations, ask if they know if any divisions from PIR 9/1 went through last night too.  There are ladies waiting on 9/1 group for calls from 2 divisions. I'm not convinced they WENT last night?  These would be 281/282.  Thanks!

    Congrats to the new sailors today!

  • caylex 9/279

    WOW, I talked to my son for over an hour!  My husband ended up having today off work, so he got to talk to his dad too.  

     

    Dianne, he mentioned that 4 divisions went last night, and we thought it was only 2.  When I asked if everyone passed, he said "everyone that went through passed, but 4 females did not pass their PFA so they have to do that again before BS."

  • Jana

    Mine said there were 4 divisions last nite. He also said 279 scored 4.9 whatever that means
  • caylex 9/279

    Jana, they scored almost a perfect score so they will have an additional flag (the Battle E) to carry on Friday  :)
  • diannep

    Thanks, ladies.  It turned out that the 2 divisions I thought DID go with your divisions...these from the 9/1 group.  Thanks for posting! 

  • diannep

    Safe travel to all tomorrow!  Here is "Sarge's" number again if anyone ends up with transportation difficulties.  He is a lifesaver:

    847-212-0246

    Tell him you heard about him from N4Moms!  :-)  Here is one more peek of what you are in for on Friday:

    THE "GOOSEBUMP" MOMENT!
