Hello everyone! 2 weeks from tomorrow! I just read that our SRs should get to make a call when they become a Sailor after Battle Stations ( some time during the week of graduation). Has anyone else read/heard that? Can I get the link to the questionairres? I know at one time I read something which described each of the ribbons/awards that our SRs might receive. Did anyone else read that and if so, where? I ordered my ribbons from La La a few days ago and can't wait to get them. I hope to meet all of you at Sarges' but it might be closer to the 8 or 9 hour due to a later flight. Does anyone know that if you are scheduled to attend "A" school in Illinois if you move immediatly following the PIR and then get Liberty after that? BTW Make sure everyone has the password that was delivered in the form letter so you can get on to the base on May 18th. Sorry for so many questions but would appreciate any and all replies! Thanks, Susan

abmom, Battlestations should be toward the end of next week sometime. We should be getting the "I'm a Sailor" call around next Friday. Hopefully your SR will let you know when BS21 is for the division in a letter this week.
