Ship 02 div 952
Got to talk to my son for 15 mins. All his siblings were there. My 10 year old nearly wrestled the phone from my hand. I'm thankful every day he has such a great big brother role model to look up to. SR said dentist WAS on a rampage which of course us N4M already knew (hehe). He had 2 W teeth out. Said he was way more lucky than some soldiers. Had vikadin and ibuprophin he didn't feel a thing. Out of 90 ish soldiers, he counted 32 out for that same thing. Got 24 rack hours and then 24 lite duty hours and was back to new. He missed is E2 test by one dang push up. So he had to re take but should pass nest time. Passed his swim test the first time. So much info in short time.
Hope others had good calls! Keep those phones on. -

Aloha moms! How is everyone holding up? My son got into BC on Tues. 9/24/13 p.m. The Box came on Friday. Waiting on that letter for all the info. His recruiter sent me his address but said to confirm it with the letter first. So we are patiently waiting which is very hard as today is my sons BIrthday! Wish I could just call to wish him a Happy Birthday! Tearing!

I got my letter today. PIR date of 11/22. Surprising how seeing his hand writing can make you so happy. Man I miss him. Now waiting patiently for my phone call. I went to the page for PIR dates and I did not find a PIR date of 11/22. Am I missing it? Where should I look? I want to connect with everyone else.

My son left on 9/24 from Sacramento, CA. I received his box today and so many
emotions ran through me. I hugged his shirt and cried. I am so proud of him
but miss him so much. Can't wait to get the form letter to be able to send him
his letters I have been writing. Hopefully, get a phone call soon. I counted
9 weeks and I think graduation will be 11/22/13. Does anyone else think it
is that date? I
