Let the countdown begin!!!:)

mome2jord started this group but has had to leave for another PIR group.

Welcome to PIR 01/06/12

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by Chris's Mom on November 28, 2011 at 12:42am: I did get a quick call from Chris last Monday morning. He was having his ear checked at a nose/ear/throat dr and some nice lady let him use her phone. It was only maybe 2 minutes ,but it was great to hear his voice. While I mentioned to him that I thought maybe he would get to call on Thanksgiving, he said he had been told that they wouldn't get to call again until week 5. I guess he was right...

Comment by diannep on November 28, 2011 at 12:21am: kimberly: What you said about your son being safe at bootcamp is what comforted me when my son was there. It helped alot!

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on November 28, 2011 at 12:18am: i was hoping we would get some phone calls today! oh well, like @kimberly said, at least we know that they are safe since "no news is good news"! i do hope we hear from them soon as i miss my boyfriend's voice majorly. also crossing my fingers for some more letters very soon! reading (and re-readign them MANY times) is keeping me going!

hope you all have a fantastic week! pir will be here before we know it! :)

Comment by kimberlydale (corpsmanmom) on November 28, 2011 at 12:14am: Hi ladies .....well wrapping up the Thanksgiving weekend. Back to work and reality tomorrow!! I thought we may get some calls today ......did anybody with SR's in this DIV hear from them????? Sure looking forward to that day !!! It has been 27 days since my son left and the longest we have ever been apart, until now, was 21 days !!!!! I am feeling a bit melancholy ..... although I know I need to count my blessings instead of pouting !!! I must say I am thankful that my son is at BC and not elsewhere - because at least I know he is getting fed and is warm with a place to sleep and most importantly safe !!! So tonight I will say prayers for all of our guys and gals and wish them well thru this major change in their lives and ours!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 27, 2011 at 9:28pm: I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a great long weekend with our family. Was disappointed in the Black Friday sales and the way they conducted. Liked it much better when they all started on Friday morning instead of on Thanksgiving. We did get a little bit of our shopping done, we have our tree up and decorated and the house and yard are covered in lights thanks to my son. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by.

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on November 27, 2011 at 1:44pm: @dianne: thanks! i'm glad i can help, even if it is in a small way. :)

i hope everyone has a wonderful sunday!! maybe some of us will even get to hear our sr's voices! stay strong! hugs. <3

Comment by diannep on November 27, 2011 at 9:02am: allie: Also, in the paragraph up top next to the group icon pik, you may want to add your info there about mome2jord's SR going to another group and stating that you will be the "go to" lady on here now. Thanks for stepping up to the plate on this one! Sorry to see you go, mome2jord, but I'll catch you on your new PIR group page!

Comment by diannep on November 27, 2011 at 12:19am: mome2jord: So glad that he verified that address. I just got it off the RTC site...lots of info on there!

allie: Thanks so much for being the "go to" girl on the site now. We N4Moms veterans will be here to help you in any way that we can.

Comment by kimberlydale (corpsmanmom) on November 26, 2011 at 12:07pm: Good Morning all ....Hope your black friday shopping was fun and productive. I think it is good to stay busy and keep your mind on other things while your sailor is away and hopefully learning, growing and becoming even more AMAZING than they were before they left :):) They are 1/3 of the way in their training and I bet starting to really get the hang of life as an SR!!!! From everyone I have talked to the first three or four weeks are the toughest then things start to smooth out a little ..... I hope and pray this is the case for our SRs.... I am looking forward to graduation ....only 42 days !!!!!

Comment by allie42989 (ship07/div036) on November 26, 2011 at 11:18am: Good morning, ladies! It looks as though I will be an administrator now, so you'll be hearing from me much more! Today I will be going with my dad to pick out our 2 Christmas trees - always one of my favorite days of the year. :)

Here's to a weekend full of letters (and maybe even some phone calls!)
