Battle Stations 21

Posted by Chad Anderson on February 23, 2015 at 8:56pm

I was wondering if there is some sort of schedule they do Battle Stations?  Do they do it by division in sequential order, do they put all the division in all at once, or the divisions randomly?

This is my sons last week in Boot Camp, and his mom and I are rather anxiously waiting on pins and needles to get that call saying he's a Sailor.

I guess no call is better than a status change call.

    I've watched the BS21 video before.  I've done as much research about all he's gone through and is going through as I can handle. 

    I really appreciate all the support and advice that is given here.

    Well I hope it's not too terribly busy when he finishes.

    My son's division didn't get to call for several hours, and sometimes they don't get to call at all. It has to do with whether and when they get to the place with the phones, and how busy it is.

    Cool!!  Thanks!!  Knowing my son, he's taking his time to call us!!  lol

    The waiting is killing me!!!  Everyone at work is wondering if he passed or not.

    Always assume that no news is good news.  In general they run two divisions at a time thru BS21.  In years past BS21 typically started on Sunday and could end as late as Thursday.  No set schedule and most times the divisions are not in numerical order. And not all sailors call right after the Capping Ceremony....many get sleep or get to stuff their faces at a pizza or taco party hosted by their RDCs.
