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

Very well said Penny, so often we forget about the sacrifices made by those who wait at home.
And, if possible I would love for each of you to say a prayer for my sailor. She graduated c-school today and joined her new command. It doesn't look like she will get to come home for Christmas and I know there are lots of sailors who are in the same "boat" so to speak. However, she is also one of those who is waiting for her sailor husband to come home as well. So it will be very hard for a young bride who won't be able to spend Christmas with her husband and also won't be able to come home to her family. She is trying very hard to be strong and holding on to the hope that it still could work out. So when you say your prayers put in a little extra word for her and all the others who find themselves in this situation. Thanks so much, Lala

And I bet that was his first 8 page letter he's EVER written. LOL That's very funny about the nice handwriting and how it relates to bathrooms. But not so funny about banging his head hard on the top bunk. I am sure they are so exhausted that when someone comes in screaming at them they don't hardly have a clue where they are at.
So glad you got mail today, Kac, and praying that many more moms, wives and girlfriends will get lucky today as well.

Lynne- When my brother was there he had the same problem, 1/2 his division was getting mail and half was not so they had a sorting error. I understand the cutting the apron strings theory but sometimes it is plain human error as well!

The manilla envelope has to be addressed to your recruit...then inside the envelopes can be addressed to any recruit, BUT your recruit will have to hand them out....
