New BATTLE STATIONS 21
The final event in Boot Camp before PIR (Pass In Review = GRADUATION!) is BATTLE STATIONS, the capstone event, the FINAL EXAM for Recruits before they are presented with their NAVY ballcap!
Your new Sailor will not be able to tell other Recruits anything about Battle Stations -- they will be told very clearly what they can and cannot disclose. However, he or she WILL be able to tell you some great stories about their experiences that do not violate this rule! (Most of these stories include the phrase “And then Chief shook his head and said …”)
