My son Allistair is in the 069 Division. He tried college and did not like it, so decided to join the Navy. I will be unable to attend the PIR, but will be watching it Live Stream on Friday. I have not received the "I am a Sailor!" call yet, but in his last letter this weekend, he said he only had to complete one thing for PT and he would be good. Battlestations this week; I hope all goes well for all the SR's. Good luck ladies! Have a beverage for me!! ;)

Good evening! I have been very frustrated for this past couple of weeks. I have not received a phone call since 12/30 or a letter until Thursday I finally received one. My SR had been ill and on light duty and has not been release to full duty yet. So he is saying he is not sure if he would be able to graduate with his div 070 on PIR 1/24. No one can give me answers. Does anyone know who I can contact?

Try contacting your local recruiter and see if he can update the status for you.

I have not received a phone call since Dec. 23rd, & the last letter was 2 Thursdays ago. I'm getting anxious to get the I'm a Sailor call, hopefully by Tuesday! Is anyone else concerned about the road conditions? I am watching them online like a hawk! We fly into Midway Thursday morning & from what I'm reading, it's best not to take the toll roads to Great Lakes
, but surely that's the best way to go. Any thoughts on this? http://wrc.gettingaroundillinois.com/pages/wrc.htm

I apologize if I posted information about the BS dates. It was just informing the mom's and loved ones of Ship 13, Div. 069 recruits to what was going on in this final week. Again, I apologize. Got another call from my son today, and he sounded great and looking forward to tomorrow! PT is going to be completed today. Yea!!!!

Looking forward to seeing our Sailors on Friday!! One of those time when I want time to speed up but want it to slow down too because I don't want the time with him to go by too fast!!
