At 1:49 pm my cell phone rang and the sweetest words, "Hi Mom" were on the other end. A very tired TJ called to tell me he has made it through Battle Stations. He was not able to tell me the details of all that happened during the course of his "adventure". Prior to Battle Stations all recruits sign a paper stating that they will not divulge or discuss their experience.
Once they completed Battle Stations all the recruits were lined up in formation on the bow of the ship where they did the cap ceremony and received their NAVY cap. TJ said it was hard not to get emotional. From all that I have read and I read a lot these days that is a sentiment felt by most sailors.
So, from now until PIR (Pass in Review) or in other words Graduation. It will be less rigid for him but he is still in boot camp.
For now, we have have 7 days: 14 hours: 34 minutes until we see him

Yay TJ!
Way to go TJ.
Suz, will you add me as a reader to TJ's blog. I just noticed it's private. I would love to keep up with him. If not that's ok too. I'll just keep checking back here.
