DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Since we will all be sitting in the same section of the bleachers at PIR, maybe it would be nice to have us all post something here in this section.  We could keep up with what the Division is doing by the letters others are receiving from this Division as well.

Thank you so much for setting this up Patti!  I am taking 19 credit hours right now to finish my degree and have a 9 month old.  Not to mention I am worrying like crazy right now about the final PFA results and everything else.  I am in over my head!  Thanks so much for doing this for us! 

I am so excited to meet you all!!!

I'm pretty sure if they failed the PFA we would have heard by now, as I did last time. I really wouldn't worry about it at this point. On to Battlestations!

Battle stations should be tomorrow if i got my days right. I miss being up there with my division, knowing that i would be graduating next Friday if it wasn't for me getting sent home for my eyes. I am getting

 treatment and i will go back in knowing more then the other sailors because of my experience of being there. I heard the shirt came out really well, I remember one of the guys drawing the main design for it before i left it looked great so i can only imagine what it looks like now, wish i could get one. I want to congratulate all the moms and families of the SR of 173 and 174 Here it was a long road but it is finally here they are about to be sailors in the worlds greatest navy.   Hoo Yaa 174

StarboardWatch, you should still be able to order one, by using the order form, I have enclosed a link for the form that you can use to order one....http://www.mwrgl.com/gen_info/rtc_graduation/div_tshirt_order_6_201....

 

If the link does not work, let me know and I will send it to you via email.

When you go back, you will be such an asset to all the new SRs that are lucky enough to be in the same Division as you.

I am so nervous today. I feel like I may jump out of my skin!! I will be so glad to see my son....A United States Sailor!! He has learned a lot from this and I have learned even more... I learned to let go and let him spread his wings and boy did he spread them! I thought this would never come and it's almost heren and I think I'm going to exploded with pride.
Okay,...I've missed something somewhere,....where do I go to print off our gate passes?
Click on this link http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp once there you follow the instructions, you will need the very first form letter your SR sent to you, on the inside of it, you will have a password that you will need to either print out or save the pdf file that the gate pass is in, just click on the printer icon or the little icon that looks like a computer disk to save it to a file on your computer.  Once you have the gate pass printed out, you just add the information that it asks for.  You can print out as many as you need.  If you need more help, just ask and if I am not online to help you, I am sure someone else will.
Got 2 letters today.  She passed her final PFA!!!  Yay!  I was so worried!  I feel much better now!  Whew! 
WONDERFUL NEWS!!!  Congratulations!!  Did she happen to mention if everyone in the division passed or not?
Congratulations on the letters and most of all your daughter passed her PFA, I am hoping I get a letter from mine as well, telling me the good news, I am kind of concerned, but she seemed confident enough in her last letter.

No she didn't.  She did say that your dtr said hello to me so it sounded like spirits were really high.  She said her and another of "her girls" as she calls them.  I think that means she passed- she would have mentioned if she hadn't.  I'm pretty positive!  She said they were having final test Monday and inspection tues and battleships thur.  She actually has gotten used to the routine and familiarity of bootcamp and is now  a bit scared of what is next.  She loves her div.  She said the boys screwed up royally and got all their priveledges taken away. Uh oh!

If I get any mail with any news, I will make sure to post it on here....  It is so close to time for BattleStations, I hope they all get plenty of rest on Wednesday night....
