No problem. Yeah the guys are pretty excited. I'm glad to see they all pulled together. Just a few more days and we will be there! I can't wait! Final fitness test is tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!
Jessica! Thank you again. I didn't know the exact date of the fitness test. I will pray for them to do well. Any idea when they do battle stations?

BS is listed on the battle stations discussion, but for us it is Sunday night, Sailor calls will go out on Monday the 27th. I can't wait!!!!!

 

Are you going to the meet-n-greet the night before PIR at the Ramada?

Thank youuuuuu again. I honsetly can't control my excitement. I am going to the meet and greet. Meeting a bunch of people that have been on the same emotional roller coaster will be quite a relief.

No problem. we are almost there, 7 more days until PIR!

 

See you at the meet n greet!!

Hello, my son is on Ship 2, Div 932, there is a meet and greet at Ramada?  Is it just parents and family there or do the Sailors actually get to be there?  Where is the Ramada and what time?  Thank you!!!

So Div 932 does there battle stations on Sunday night?  I don't know why but I thought they were doing battle stations today the 23rd.  Im glad I saw that because I was expecting a call tomorrow......  Thank you!!
