Some will be E2, some will be E3. E2 is Seaman Apprentice SA instead of SR. And I believe E3 is just plain Seaman. I think SN. Roxiegirl....can you verify?!

I sure hope your weekends all go fast for all of you. Have fun with those phone calls you'll be receiving. Your new Sailors will be exhausted during that call but also so happy! After graduation, my son told me that the graduation ceremony was for us parents and other loved ones.....the capping ceremony was what was most meaningful to him and his buddies. It's a special time for them :) Burn your blue candles and pray them through BS!

I'm guessing it's pretty common that the 800 divisions win Captains Cup!! I know that was the case with my son's division. Congrats to 804!!! In my son's PIR group there were only 4 divisions; 2 were integrated and 2 were all male. So their Captains Cup turned out to be a head to head competition and was pretty intense from what we heard. 801 went up against a 900 division (which was the other all male division). The 900 divisions win the original song/dance part of the competition quite often but 801 had an awesome one and beat the performing division. My son reenacted it for us and it WAS really funny!
Safe travels to all of you!!
