Div 818 PIR 9/2
Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Lydia, I agree with the shuttle idea...let the driver have the stress at that hour of the morning! I really don't know the answer to the "how many" question either. We'll find out soon enough or maybe one of our boy's will tell us.

Good morning ladies! It looks like none of us are getting a good nights sleep lately. :( My mind was going a mile a minute last night, 3 weeks sounds so short doesn't it. Can someone tell me a little about the PIR bag, is there anything specific I should put in there aside from phone, computer, ipod, boxers (love that one) and civilian clothes?
As of right now, I am not bringing the kids to PIR, I am flying into Millwaukee on 9/1 arriving in the afternoon. I am planning on renting a car. If anyone needs a ride around that time I am happy to pick you up! I am staying at the Ramada. Let me know.
