This group is for those who have loved ones that graduated from boot camp on April 4. 2014. A place to keep in touch with each other as the sailors continue their Navy journey.
Thanks Karen. Yes, mine is in 128. Just wondered what happened, but that makes sense. I know a few don't get to go if they didn't pass tests this week. Patiently waiting for my call......
Those who have not heard from their new sailors in 125-128, be sure to check FB too since some get on the computer before they get to the phones. If you didn't receive a call, it could be that your new sailor had watch and will call later today or tomorrow.
Congrats to the new sailors of PIR 04/04!
Cristy: Have your phone ready Tues afternoon and Wed afternoon. Not totally sure which night your division goes through.
If any of the SRs who were to go through last night had not passed their final tests, you should have received a call from them yesterday saying that they were not doing BattleStations and may not graduate. If you didn't get that call, assume that they went through and hopefully you will get your call soon. They have until BattleStations day for their division to pass their final tests.
encourager: They should resume BattleStations on Monday night, looks like they could be done with the groups finishing Wed morning, but you never know!
We also heard on facebook that 921 won at Captains cup and I heard it is an all male division. I would love to know if it is really all male. I have been helping here almost 4 years and I don't remember there ever being and all male performing division.
So sorry I was MIA today. My sailors have been home on leave and today was my last day with them. I took my daughter and grand baby shopping today and to lunch and then more shopping. We were gonna get pedicures but ran out of time lol. I sure am going to miss them. This is the latest pic of them :)
921 did win the Captain's Cup. Not sure about it being all male, I am thinking that it may only have 1 or 2 females in it. From watching PIR live stream, I have only seen 1 female in the rifle corp.
Yes, LovesASailor: If a sailor is an Honor Guard, there is a special ceremony before PIR for families/those sailors. You are notified by letter. I would think you would have received it by now, but you never know with mail service!
I think the 900 divisions are male/female. Not sure they have an all-male 900 division since it is a performing division and would include both genders, I would think.
Since my son left for boot camp, we moved and I just started a new job, so I apologize for my lack of participation. I have received several letters; our son says he is actually having fun,YAY! However, we haven't received any recent calls and his last call he said we may not hear from him until we see him at graduation. I see on the comments that many of you have received calls after battle stations. Should I worry if I don't hear from him? He is Ship 09 Div 129. Thanks for your input.
Div 921, that won the Captain's Cup is indeed an all male division. My son is in it. The picture is really cool. This was the first glimpse of my son in 60 days. HooYay.
Thanks, Freedock and ellen, for clearing that up! Hmmm....just never knew that! New things to learn each day!
Arpocmom: Are you talking of Sarge's MeetandGreet held the night before PIR? 5 to 9 pm....at the Sundance Saloon (closed off to the public....family friendly event!). You can find it listed under EVENTS to the left of this page, towards the bottom. Click on the link and you can RSVP there!
Hello all,
Lori my son is also with Ship 09 Div 129. We've not received a call as of yet either so you're not alone. Don't worry, stay positive and keep your phone by your side :)
Expecting I'm a Sailor calls this afternoon from 921/129/130, we think! Calls will come in after 2pm Central time. Keep those phones close...this will be a great call! :-)
myMimzy, Your sailor will call in the afternoon the day BS is complete. The final list for PIR would have been submitted so it is too late to get them on the list for PIR, but they can watch the livestream and then see you sailor after PIR.
If 129/132 went through BattleStations last night, then 921 didn't go. Only up to 4 divisions a night can go through. Tonight would be the last night of BattleStations for the remaining divisions.
She's a SAILOR!!!!! She sounded tired but was so happy. We were so proud...tears of joy...and from her Dad, too. Thank the Lord. Congrats to everyone else. See you all on Friday. {--|o
PS - she said that everyone in 129 who went thru BS passed.

4 divisions went through last night. I think it was 125, 126, 127 & 128.

This 900 division is an all male division. I know because I just posted their Trivia Tuesday picture from the RTC in the 921 division discussion. :)
