John's Mom- Thats what I was gonna do, buy the shirt then get some chalk or whatever you use to decorate them. I don't have the money to get it done at an actual t-shirt store.
mikesmom- And I'm not really sure, I know the whole shirt idea was so we could identify each other at PIR, but since Im told to dress up nicely, I might have it and kind of use it as a flag, in a way. Not to sure yet. I'd hate to be the person behind me if thats the case lol! -

Has anyone else NOT received a phone call from their SR? I'm probably being paranoid, but I really miss him. He's my youngest. Can you tell? LOL

I received my first phone call on Tuesday and finally got my letters on Wednesday. I hear not all were allowed to call, since alot of the division was still in trouble, but I do know that 312 made calls out last Tuesday. I'm sorry you didn't get yours! D:

Though our phone company we have the ability to have our home phone calls forwarded to our cell phones. If I were you I would look into if your phone company has the same ability. I know it has made it alot easier to go out knowing that I will not miss a call from him.
I know alot of N4M's are wearing their t-shirt to PIR, and some to the Meet n greet. I don't know....I would really like to wear it to both :) I like the idea someone had of us getting a group picture.

I love the idea of a group picture! I just have a feeling I won't make it in time for the picture. We are leaving on the 15th, probably around 10 or 11 in the morning, and it will take 10 hours to drive there since we live in Grand Island Nebraska. And I'm not even sure where we are staying. I think its either Comfort Inn or Days Inn, all I know is that its about 1.5 miles away from RTC.
And I might wear mine to PIR, it would sure put a smile on my SR's face, thats for sure! (: -

Well me and my son Michael wil be driving up from Oklahoma on the 14th and staying at Navy lodge. I have never been to Chicago and we wanted see somethings. Maybe you could let us know where to go?

Got a letter today!! They got fitted for their dress uniforms on the 15th! The day is coming! Im so happy! And instead of bootcamp, my SR calls it Robot Camp haha. He didn't say much, still that people keep talking so the ones that are doing really good are getting screwed over big time. Makes me sad. I hope they can come together for good soon!!
Anyone else hear anything? -

I haven't heard anything from my son in a week. Only letters - no phone call. Mine was having trouble with inspections so maybe thats why he didn't call. He did say a lot of the guys think they are at summer camp and not boot camp. Mine's trying to stay under the radar. I just hope he calls this week.

I hope so too! It doesn't help when alot of people don't think of it as a change of lifestyle, more like a weekend getaway. You should be able to hear from him this week! I'll be praying that you finally get to hear from your SR (:

I'm hoping to get a letter this week too. I hope you get a phone call this week mikesmom. Are you able to forward your home phone to your cell phone if you have to go out?
