Ugh! I have been dreading this more than the our SR's I think, LOL! Gah, I can imagine the drill, the IT, the testing and inspections are going to be a real BEAR!!!! And not to mention the RDC's getting more aggressive too. I know they can make it through it. Not like they have much of a choice, LOL! Sink or swim...and sinking is not an option. Right now, I am just getting ready to head out and get a few cards of encouragement and a few funny ones to give the hubs a chuckle. Laughter is the best medicine and I believe that.

I was in the greeting card aisle earlier today. These SR's deserve to have a good laugh. God Bless them all!

Good evening all. Hope everyone is doing well. I mailed out a good luck card to the whole division today wishing them luck this week. Now I just pray that my son shares it as he is supposed to. He gets a little embarrassed sometimes so I told him that other Navy for Moms were doing it as well, so to please make sure and share it as it is for all of the division. Everyone's SR is in my prayers and I know they will all succeed. They have got this!!!

At the risk of sounding stupid .... can someone explain Hell Week and Battle stations to me?
Thanks so much - and I am really glad I am not the only one that didn't get a letter today. I spend all day telling myself not to get to disappointed if it wasn't there today but when I got home and my mailbox was empty my heart sunk just a bit. Now I have a reason to hurry home tomorrow night. -

Hey Brenda,
There is a discussion on hell week on our PIR 10/1 page. I think it is on page3. It breaks it down by day. They are very busy this week. As far as Battleshations 21 the is a video on CNN. It is the ultimate test that they do the week before PIR. It starts at 8pm and goes till 8am. They have to pass this. Real Life circumstances that they have to work through together on s simulated ship. The Video is great. It might be in the discussions on Boot Camp Moms group page if not let me know and I will find it. This is the test that when they pass they call with the "I'm a Sailor call"! -

Hi Everyone! Just stopping in to say hi. Hoping for a letter tomorrow :). I've been sending letters like crazy and sending the funniest cards I can find. Trying to give my son a laugh during what I'm sure is a stressful time. By Sunday...we'll be out of the 20's and into the teens on our countdown to PIR! I'm on pins and needles over my son's PT test. He really has trouble with the running. I know I should probably be more worried about Hell week and BS21, but seriously...it's that running that has me nervous. I'd be so happy if I knew he passed his PT, then I think he'll be ok. Then maybe I can quit worrying so darn much! :) And can I just say I am DYING to see those Navy portraits!! I have some of my uncles when they were in the Navy back in the 40's and 50's and I can't wait to add his to the family collection!

Hang in there! Didn't they do their PT test again yesterday? I will have to go back and look at the schedule for Hell week! I too can't believe that we will soon be in the teens! It is getting closer! I am beginning to get excited! That last week is going to be my Hell Week! Along with week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5and 6! lol My mother has a picture of my great grandfather when he was in the Navy. It is his DIV picture. And my father has his keelbook. My son loved to look at it. I am so excited thinking about allof the things that are happening. No letter here yesterday either. Hope everyone has a great day!
