Thought it might be nice for everybody to say where they are staying for PIR as a means of knowing who will be in the same place, taking the shuttles, carpooling, etc. and maybe even getting together…Continue

Sandy...please check your inbox...I have sent you a private message...thanks!!
Lala, I sent you an email about a week or so ago asking if my son's last name would fit on the ribbon but didn't hear back from you. The last name is 8 letters long.
It is so good to see some of you getting communication with your soon to be sailors. I will never ever forget waiting for the mail to run, why did mine have to come so late in the afternoon? And having my phone stuck in my bra lol for weeks so I wouldn't miss a call. Then when that first call finally did come and I saw the umber I looked at the phone and said to my family Oh my, I think it's her and the phone still ringing and me admiring the number, Phil finally laughed and said don't you think you should answer it? I was so excited to get that call that I completely lost my mind for a few seconds. :-) Enjoy your letters and calls and write, write, write.
My kids had a snow day today and another tomorrow. We spent most of the day making Christmas gifts for family members and we watched a couple of movies. I was even able to get some late order ribbons in the mail for next weeks PIR. If anyone still wants ribbons to wear to PIR and has not placed an order send me a friend request and I will send you the info. I hope you all have a great night.
valensmom, what ship/div is your daughter in?
So, ladies, that means when there is one bad apple that bucks the system ... then everybody gets to build their muscles and that's why some are so lean and mean!!!! Afraid to see what my son will end up looking like as went in with plenty of room in his 6'2" big boned build to add muscle to.
OMG!! I can't wait to hear from my daughter.
My sailor said when one person messes up in their division, they all get I.T. together. Gotta love team building!!
Intensive Training.
What does I.T. mean when they screw up?
Sent about 12 letters so far and many of them have pictures embedded into the letters - last one I put our Golden Retriever's pic in it. Also sent a few separate pics that he can have in REAL color.
