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."

Ship 07---- Division 174

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.

Good Luck ladies hope they all pull together as a team to get through battlestations. My daughter is now on ship 4 division 2341. We do not know if she has had surgery or if they found the tiny piece of tooth left behind or if they damaged her nerve ending. Not knowing is killing me. I am also not bitter with Navy dentist since this could have happen at any dentist. I know they are giving her the best care possible and are trying to control her pain. That worries me that she is in so much pain because she is like me and have a high tolerance for pain.

Do you know if he is still going to BS tonight or does he have to wait?  I'm so sorry to hear that!

tricious, i am not sure. we didn't get a phone call saying he either passed or failed his "makeup" PFA..... Im assuming that means he's still doing battle stations tonight as they usually get to call if they are NOT going to graduate on time. Im on the assumption no news is good news.... and hope i get a call tomorrow saying hes a Sailor!

If he was not going to be able to be with this PIR group, they would have let him call him, so please just take the odd adage, "no news is good news" especially when it comes to the military.

Well, I know mine was one that passed her PFA this time! All I know is I feel anxious...holding my cell everywhere I go...literally!

 

I got her CAC card today, ready to be packed. We still haven't made reservations anywhere for anything. After last time, we are SO cautious. The second I get "I'm a sailor!" we're making those flight plans!

Where can I find the firefighting photos on FB? Looked on the Recruit Training Command FB page and see some of the marching. We might be able to make the M&G at Ramada; depends on what time we get there.

Try this link.  If it doesn't work, go to the FB page and click on the Pictures Tab.  I believe it was May 3 pics.

I keep thinking about them hoping the night has been kind to them.  Only another 1.5 hrs and they hopefully will have that emotional moment they have all been waiting for!  I am so overwhelmed with emotions, I can't even fathom what they are feeling.  Whew!

@Tricsious. Looked on the U.S.  Navy Recruit Training Command on FB and didn't see anything under the 3 May. Saw some on the telephones and in classes, nothing that resembled firefighting.

The classroom is their div.  Look at the captions underneath.  They are in firefighting training class.
