Got another letter from Brad today, He's"writing" so much more upbeat now!!! He's also counting down the days on his letters as well. He did'nt say much, he said the Division ran for 30 min strait on the 4th. Brad has 1 min and 11 sec to shave off of his run time to pass, I pray for him everyday and think and send positive thoughts all the time!

Have any of you found out for sure when Battle Stations will be for 283? My two burning questions this entire time have been, "Are you a grad and go?" and "When is Battle Stations?" Today I finally found out that he will NOT be a grad and go so that leaves one burning question, ha! Does any one know when it is? I think someone posted that they think it is the 15th but I cant remember where I read that and if it was for sure...

My hubby seemed to think it was the 11th....but I also think he was just guessing T.T
I miss him so much. I packed his clothes last night and it was really sad. Our plan was that I was going to stay in NYC for about 2 months until I could go be with him. The idea was that I was going to have a sort of "vacation" while he was in A-school. His last letter he told me to start looking for a job in NYC. So now I'm worried he wants me to stay in NYC the whole time he's in A-school T.T That made me really sad.
I really need to talk to him about a few things, but I can't and I hate it. -

You read that from me, and my hubby wrote in a letter that it was August 15th. He seemed pretty certain.
And Jetcar, I know the feeling. There's so much stuff I want to tell Michael too. But I know we don't have much more time to go. Tomorrow our gate passes open up on the website. That alone gets me unbelievably excited. I have to go apartment hunting when we're up there, not to mention this will be my home for the next year, so I'm certainly going to want to check it out.
When you get the "I'm a sailor" call, I would ask him to clarify what he meant on that. And what's his rating? That would determine how long his A school is. My hubby's A school is really long, that's why I'm allowed to move up there. -

I am SO happy to hear that they are working better as a team and earning ribbons! What is a PFP flag? Did they earn ANOTHER flag in addition to the athletic and PFP flag? Thank God hell week is over and they are all alive and well! Do you by any chance know when their final academic test and final PFA are? Or did they already have their final tests? I am thinking they will be this week because next weekend is battlestations but maybe the final tests are already done. Well, I know my SR passed test number 2...but isn't there three of them? *Sorry for the 20 questions, ha! Just answer what you can, LOL!*

I wonder how they have extra time when it rains, They are indoors (for all their training), thats why they (the navy) built and spent that money. I don't care, Im glad they get more time, it's just funny though.
