Battlestations starts this coming week...post here when you hear from your Sailor!
I thought I would start a discussion area to post when you hear from your Sailor that they passed Battlestations! When you talk to them, I heard it is nice to find out if the whole division passed (some people can't call with their group because they are on watch so it is nice to let everyone know how the division did!). Good Luck SRs, Anchors Aweigh!

Thanks for starting this; I am addicted to this page now! I think about my SR constantly. I hope and pray their division all do well on Battlestations. I know my recruit is looking forward to it; I'm sure they all are. I will post as soon as I get a call!!!!

Hoping that you ladies also post about your new sailors on the main PIR page since that is where most will be looking to see that you have new sailors! Please be sure to ask your new sailor if all in that division passed and post that. Some will have "watch" and won't be allowed to call right away.
Remember, we can't post exact BattleStations dates until "after the fact." Please friend request/message me if you have received a BattleStations date for your division. I'm keeping a schedule. Thanks!

If anyone hears when Div 934 is going to do BS please send me a private message. We are going to be flying to Chicago next Thursday and its a long flight from California. I'm skeptical they would do BS on July 4th but I'd hate to miss the I'm a Sailor call.
I missed her last call on Father's day and my SR left me a teary message which broke my heart. Fortunately she did get my husband on the phone and got to speak with him and her little brother, which was more important than Mom on Father's day, even if I have to admit to it.
