Hello Ladies!

I know it has been a loooong time…I’m sorry I have not updated but I did read all of your comments.

I have stayed on the site as a “veteran” mom and help out with the PIR groups. Shortly after our PIR JessicaB Sailor mom left the site for a time and I didn’t want her great info lost. All the veteran moms kind of have a niche so I asked the wonderful diannep if I could start posting Jessica’s info. Started there and then added some of my own. We all have little twists to our PIR experience that helps the ones following behind us.

Somehow I now help start all the new PIR groups! I love it and enjoy helping those like the moms that helped us all through PIR. It always reminds me of my own PIR experience and sharing with all of you. It keeps me quite busy and I finally stopped kicking myself to post on here! Just to catch up with you all. I know it has been awhile that anyone has posted but I thought I would give it a go!

Our Sailor has had a time of it. He went in as an IT and after two months of constantly failing, retaking and passing tests …then two weeks of remedial  he ended u failing out of the rating. No prior computer experience didn’t help…but it was only one of two ratings that day at MEPS.

However, the Navy retained him and allowed him to rerate! He got BU, Builder in the Seabee community…which is what he wanted originally (well SW – Steel Worker…but it is still Seabees!) and is flourishing there! Passing tests and projects with flying colors and is the Safety PO. PTing his butt off too! He will be home in December as he is a reservist. I’d like to put my blinders on…but I know it is when not “if” he gets deployed. ((sigh))

I hope that all of you and your Sailors are doing well. I will keep TG 28 in my prayers.

I hope that everyone's SA is now entrenched in "A" school and enjoying life with a little bit of freedom.  As soon as my son got to school at Groton they grabbed keys for their rooms and went on liberty!  They had liberty all weekend which had to be a big change from boot camp!  He's now working on liberty til midnight, then overnight liberty.  He is sort of in an indoctrination period now and won't actually start "school" until Monday.

 

I have to tell all of you how proud I was of our SA's the Friday after PIR.  My son's girlfriend and I got up at 2:30 am that Friday morning and took a cab to O'Hare to see my son off.  There were 44 SA's going to the same school in CT.  We followed them through the airport to the gates and got to wait about 1 hour with them before their flight took off.  They were all walking so tall and proud through the airport.  I was just in awe of these young men who will one day defend our country.  They all looked so nice in their dress whites and they were so friendly and nice; my son hit the jackpot with Navy friends, that's for sure.  When they'll sit there and talk to someone's mother, you know those are some special kids!!!!!

 

Sonia & goMahvelous:  I think I may have some pictures of our drummers in my stack (actually my son's girlfriend took the pictures).  If I have some that are legible I will be sure to send them to you via email or on Facebook.  Sonia, will send you a friend request on FB. 

 

fireteamwife:  LOVE the toenails!  That looks exactly like something I would do!  Anything to be different!!  I say yes, do it again for July 4th.

 

I feel so bad; after PIR I kind of forgot about coming back to this group.  Now I'm all tied up in trying to find out everything I can about submarines!!!  All I know for sure is that my son has about one year's one of schooling (4 different schools) to attend before he will be able to be deployed.  I am so loving being able to text or call his cell whenever I want to at night.  It is definitely a blessing, one that I will never take for granted again. 

 

I hope that all of you are now able to communicate with your SA's.  It was wonderful sharing this experience with all of you.  I wish all of you much luck and your SA's fair wind and following seas.  Take care!!!
