Hey ladies - hope you all get letters or notes this week. Mine was short saying how busy they had been. First note in 2 weeks so I was thrilled to say the least. Not much news, but he is ok and us mom's need to hear that too!
Busy with all they have going on and looking forward to PIR.
Need you all to say a special prayer for him to get through this final PFA on Friday - he has to get that run time down! I know he can - I hope he knows it too!!!! He doesn't mention it - but I keep trying to encourage in my letters to him each day.
Happy Wednesday everyone - take care!

Kimstn - You know you have my prayers.
Got a letter today from my SR. He sounds so great. Teased me and said he didn't buy the pictures because he didn't look good in them. He better have bought the pictures! He wasn't sure which package to buy so I told him the most expensive one.
Sounds like they are very busy! He has learned to fold t-shirts as his fellow rack mates have jobs and they don't have time to fold their clothes so he folds his clothes and three other guys too. Can't wait to make him fold a load of laundry.
16 more days -------------YAAAAAAAAAA -

Dani - too funny about the pics - sounds like something my son would come up with! lol; thanks for the prayers!
tatertoddsmom - I hope you get a note or maybe they will get a reward call again this week. Can you forward your house number to your cell so you can't miss any calls? At least with Battlestations coming soon, we know you will get the I'm a Sailor call coming in.......
Hard to believe the hardest bulk of time has passed already and we'll see them soon! I am counting days - so excited!

Congrats to those that got calls today!!! I don't know what they did to earn it and understand that not all were involved in the reward (my SR was not). Fortunately for me .....I have a very generous friend that took time from her call to ask and find out my SR finally passed the PFA! I am so relieved...and thankful to Rachel....
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the weekend.....see you all soon at PIR!!!!
