Susan,
Me too! I thought I had it so together on Monday, when he left, but now I think my thoughts are all over the place. The only thing that keeps me going, is that I know that if there is a problem, I would have heard something. Even though I would love to hear something, I still keep thinking that it's good news that I haven't yet.

I know you are teasing, Betsy, and I really appreciated that you were there. I did read that they do march them alot after the shots, 3 in each arm and one in the bottom, so that the shots can be distributed in the muscle. oooo it sounds terrible. Kathy

If that's Penicllian shot I read in HCC that if your allergic you have to wear a sign saying you are allergic and you don't have to get it. Drew's allergic and so when he sees everyone else drop their pants I'm sure he will be happy :) Susan

Phoebe,
I'm sure he is just fine. Did he take his cell phone with him?
I'm sorry that I haven't been on here tonight, but we had company. They just left, so I had to get on and see how everyone is doing

I won't be able to be on here tonight ladies. I am sick, yuck! I made it through work with Dayquil and cough drops. I'm sure the fact that I haven't been able to sleep much the last few nights isn't helping. I pray that everyone makes it in tonight and that you get your phone calls. I'm sorry about those that were delayed because of the wind. I think that would be really hard to anticipate it for so long and have it put off by a day. We are under tornado warnings here in NC, 2 were spotted about 15 miles from here. I am trying to figure out how I can sleep and watch the news at the same time! I hope our kids get to sleep tonight. Feeling really bad for them right now :( Susan

I am sorry you are sick, Susan, Get some rest and I hope you get well soon. At least it waited until Drew left. Hugs. Kathy

Sorry you are feeling bad.
I was wondering, too if our kids will be able to go to bed tonight. I have also been thinking about them learning how to march in the rain today. I hope they get more than one smurf suit so they would have a chance to dry out.
I hope everyone makes it there safely.

Oh, Wendi, that reminds me what I read in HCC. They have to wear those smurf clothes so long that they all smell. I am talking days and days. lol. This is during processing. They march and build up a sweat and they have nothing else to wear. My poor stinky kid. He showers sometimes 3 times a day when he works out. I can just see his letter and the thing he hates most about BC is he can't shower much. lol. Kathy

haha. Yes, Haha, Brandon too. I had to keep throwing his tennis shoes in his room and he kept leaving them in the family room. Oh, they were rancid. You just have to love them. I can't wait to see what division they will be in. First thing Thurs morning I am calling the recruiter.

How long does it take to post the PIR dates? Will the recruiters know that at the end of the week or do we have to wait until we get the letter?

yes, everyone should change to enlisted. LoL. Adam belches loud. Someone else snores. I heard it is hard to sleep with all the noise. Also, there is a link to find out the PIR from what the Divison number is. I will find the link for everyone when we get the ship and division numbers.
