Also, does anyone know how many PT' tests they have before the final test? I assumed the final PT test was during battlestations but according to what I have read you have to pass the final PT test to get to battlestations. If you get a chance watch the cnn video that was done on battlestations. Its awesome and shows us exactly what our guys are gonna go through shortly.

I believe that they MUST pass their 2nd PT test or their PIR is pushed back?? Not 100% sure, but this is why I am so nervous and worried for my son until I find out that he has passed.

yes my son sd if he didn't pass his PT test he would be set back 2 weeks. Fingers and toes (lol) crossed for all of them. My son had that one specific section he had to improve on but it was by a good bit. Heavy praying for them all!

I know what you mean fingers, toes and everything else possible crossed. My son almost passed everything but almost passing is still not passing. I know him well enough to know he is stressing big time which means I am also stressing big time! Praying really hard!!!

Big day for our guys as they take their final PT test! Let's all keep them in our thoughts and pray that they all pass!

Has anyone heard about the SR's PT test yesterday??? Waiting on pins and needles until I know for sure that my son passed. He only missed it last time but I will be worried until I know for sure that he passed. Hoping that all in this division passed!!

I know I posted on the main page already but just want to make sure everyone in our group knows to please get on the navy fb page and help us try to win a pic of all the guys in 7/357. This would be a great treat for us bc Im sure all our guys are at the point now where the appearance looks different from how they looked when they got on the plane Sept 1st!!! If anyone has any tricks or hints on how to post or get answers quicker please let us know. Thanks and good luck to us!!!

Good evening everyone, I wanted to let you know that all the ribbons for this DIV that have been paid for as of yesterday have all been shipped. I am still waiting on payments from several and as soon as those payments arrive I will ship your ribbons. There is still plenty of time to order and get them in time for PIR. If anyone else would like to order some ribbons to wear to PIR just click on my name and send me a friend request or send me a message to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com I will be sending more ribbons early next week as I receive the payments. You can see more pics on my page here on N4M's or on my facebook page Unique Memory Makers.
Thanks so much, have a wonderful weekend, Lora

Has anybody heard anything about when Battlestations will be??
-

I havent heard anything abt a specific date but from what I read it will probably be the week of PIR. Some people were saying they didn't get the call about their SR passing battlestations until the day before the graduation. When they have a bigger group it happens like that. I think we only have 7 divisions so hopefully we won't be getting calls as we are boarding the plane!
