This weekend turned out great - i got his mailing info on Fri and a surprise call from him on Sunday
I came home Friday and had his information letter with DIV and PIR date. I was so excited to be able to mail out his letters with a Valentine's Day card on Saturday. Then yesterday i couldn't believe that he actually got to call me. He said his group got a reward for something and each got a 5 minute phone call. Wow! It was the best thing that could have happened - you don't realize how precious 5 minutes are until something like this. Made me walk on air the rest of the day :-)

his crew left the day after the earthquake. He enjoys what he does and hedecided to make t a career soon after he enlisted. Its a great job. He will retire at 38! He is able to provide for our family now (pay, medical insurance, and my schooling) and he will continue to be able to through the navy even after he retires. H was single most of those first 8 years and he struggles now becaus of me being away, but we both decided this is the best thing for us. I fully support the NAVY but I hope the next 12 years goes by fast

i got the informational letter on Friday - his PIR is scheduled for Mar 26;
He said that he has to have his wisdom teeth taken out - ouch! I don't know if they will do that during boot camp or after? If they do it during boot camp then I'm wondering if that will put off his PIR to a later date? -
-

I hope it doesn't have to get pushed back for him, I would think they would wait until after because I dont think wisdom teeth are that serious, unless they are causing him pain or something. What kind of good stuff do they have to do to get a phone call? I hope my bf and his group does something good soon!! lol

I'm hoping that they will wait till after boot camp for his dental work so his PIR is right on time. I'm not sure what they did to earn the call - i was so surprised though! Now it's just wait till the next time and keep watching the mailbox for a letter. He did say that they (I don't know if everyone - but I'm guessing) got to go get a Valentine's Day card to send. Hopefully that will be coming any day. . . .First thing I do when I get home is check the mail.
