@ Chrissy-LOL, my SR asked me to post on Facebook NEVER NEVER send music cards. So I get his letter this week and he mentions that the other day he received a large envelope from his uncle and Bam, they were on him like lighting because they thought it was one of "those cards" and they were going to make him do bear craws around the compartment until the battery died. They were very disappointed to see that it was just a wedding invitation.

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to get the parking pass? I know the time is coming up when we can get it, but can't remember where I saw what we need to do. Any help would be much appreciated!
Can't wait until this week's letter. My son's birthday is the 26th, so hard not to be together to celebrate. I will pray for all you mom's who also don't have their sons with them on their special day. I think I saw two others in this group. Happy birthday to your sons!
Have a wonderful week ladies and thanks for the help!

From what I found on the web, Battlestations should be next week and it's from 8pm to 8am. 2 divisions to 4 divisions at a time and they generally go with their sister division. I've asked my son who his sister division is, but he doesn't generally answer the questions I send him. Also it runs Mon - Thurs and with there being 12 divisions, I'm sure the regular divisions will go first and probably 812 will go on the last rotation/night. That's just my guess though. I found a lot of information through the navydads.com website including a really good slideshow on it.
