We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.

I received a letter on Thursday that stated hell week was this week. Inspections and second PFA was on the 19th which has already passed. Hope they all did well. She said that live fire and firefighting was next then battleships. She loves Sundays because they get 5 hrs and the RDC's are more laid back at this time. She also said that 3 more Sundays left!!! It is drawing closer til we have PIR and thanks to everyone here it has been a lot easier on me. I hope we all get one more phone call before battleships but its not a guarantee she said. Many prayers that everyone passes everything from here on out. Keep sending letters and keeping us posted about your personal SR's. I enjoy it. See you all in 20 days.

PIR is just around the corner , I already booked my reservation we are staying at the Navy Lodge, we are leaving and driving from North Carolina that wednesday night on the 9 of october., its a 16 hours journey, hopefully we will make it to the meet and greet that thursday evening, see you guys and Iam so proud to all our SR..I may add that yesterday I have a great pleasure to talking to her on the phone not only once but 3 times due to security questions, my family is so complicated, they want to know everything about her dad, step dad, even step dads kids which she does not have any relationship. lol

Hello everyone! It was wonderful to get a phone call on Sunday. My son is in Ship 11 Div 336. PIR is coming fast and I can't wait to hug my son! :) We are planning to attend Sarge's Meet and Greet on Thursday night. I hope to meet some of you there. We are also hoping to get my husband and his stepmom in PIR. Does anyone know how many divisions are graduating on 10/12?

Glad to hear that lots from Div 336 received calls on Sunday :) We are planning on attending Sarge's Meet and Greet also, can't wait to meet all the wonderful people that are here supporting each other. If I remember reading it correctly from another post, there will be 13 divisions because one was a push division and it got moved up. Hope this helps!! Have a wonderful evening!!

My daughter said in one of her letters that I might not get that call, here's a hint if your sailor is not graduating this Friday you probably known it 2 weeks before graduation, so no phone call is a good thing,..
