Rose, Thank you for the update. I am particularly interested in the date for Battle Stations because I think we get a call immediately after that. So if they do it on the 18th, we will get a call in the morning on the 19th, right?
Nina, Letters for us are slowing to a crawl, too. I think they are super busy right now, so I would not worry! -

My husband's div 032, which is your brother division. In his letter dated 12/5, he said that battle stations was 14 days away, so I'm assuming that it's on the 19th. We'll see!

This is my first time on the website...wished I had joined sooner! My son called last week and seemed down....but determined that he will make it through "whatever" the "team" issues were that have put them in Intense Training mode...no details. Are there any members out there that have a sailor flying into Sacramento after PIR? My son said he has two friends from Cali that are going to A school in Groton along with him. Anyone else going to the Meet N Greet on 12/21....would love to meet you all!

Welcome dodgedonna.....I don't understand clearly....correct me.....you are saying that your son is going to Sacramento or to Groton. If is Groton...my son is going to Groton too. He is coming back with us the 23rd and he is going there the 29th. I wonder if your son and mine know each other. My son said he have a few friends that they know each other because they going to Groton to do the same job. ET in submarines. Soon we have to join the group Groton Moms...I''m so happy for my son.

Hi everyone, finally got a letter today, it was dated the 12th. He said they have been busy practicing & talking about graduation. They are right on track for graduation, everyone is getting nervous the more they talk about it. He told me to expect a call on Monday with the news " I'm a Sailor" so I assume they will do BStations on Sunday right. It was a short letter but I'm glad I finally received one. Have a great day!

Ladies....I'm so happy I receive a 3 pages letter with so many information. I just laugh, he sound so mature, responsable talking about how he is saving money to pay us back for the tickets, of course I'm not going to accepted. He brough the package A for me and extra pictures. When my son write he do it as journal and the 12/11 he said that Monday was fire training, Tuesday gas chamber, Wednesday inspection and Thursday PFA. He said that BS is Sunday and it last 8 hours from 10 pm to 6 am. He sound happy just want to come home to sleep and relax.
