I'm here :)
Thanks L :)
Pam, I completely agree.
Has anyone gotten a PIR date for this group? It is really frustrating not having the division for the 8/24 PIR group.

I got the Letter today!!!!!! My hubby checked the mail while my little one and I were at lunch with a fri
end. He called me up and told me that we got something from the Navy today in our son's handwriting. I then figured out what it was... The Letter. It is filled with a lot of information, but to me the most important part was the short handwritten letter on the back that let us know that he "Misses the crap out of us. I haven't been yelled at yet. I love y'all. Today is P-1. I think my division could make Hall of Fame. Don't worry. I'm Great. R".
I've got to look up what the Hall of Fame is. It sounds like he has a lot of confidence in all of our SRs and that they are working well as a team. Maybe this will mean more phone calls to us :). This is Such a huge relief and a much better sounding young man than the one was last saw at MEPS on 7/2 and heard from on 7/3.
There is a small problem with 2 of the people he has listed as his 4. One of them can't come and we are having a hard time making sure the other one can attend. Does anyone know how much notice he needs in order to have these 2 names changed?
Tonight's letter is going to be interesting to say the least :).

My son Tristan is in this one. He is on my mind about every third thought. He is so jazzed about being a nuke. Are all the folks in this div. a potential nuke? Does this barrack look like all the other barracks? Does anybody know where I can get a t shirt?
