@coomey21 Are we able to go to GL for teh Adopt-A-Sailor event at Christmas? I have no clue about this so please help me out.
Ahh! I really want to go, too. I live in Washington State, though so I am trying to work out all the details. Becoming really expensive really fast. Thinking of taking the train for Christmas. Ive already purchased my airline tickets for PIR. Are you staying at the Navy Lodge?
We are planning on going, but haven't received all the details yet. We should be receiving something in the mail soon. I already made hotel reservations, so I really hope this happens. It would be the best gift ever to see him!
Who is planning on travelling for the Adopt A Sailor for Christmas?
Thank you! I do appreciate it!
BUT...like you said...hopefully there will be more!
It's like that occassionally NavyMom. On my PIR group there was one division that never formed a Divisional Discussion. Only two members that posted regularly on the main page of the group. They didn't bother to form a discussion as there were only the two of them. We were their brother divison. So they found out what was happening with their recruits (for the most part as far as general training) because of ours as brother divisions train together. Your brother divison is 029.
I'm really starting to think my sons ship/ division is a "Ghost Ship"...lol.. Theres only been 3 members who have loved ones on same ship 12/030 as my son. Really wondering if the ship/ division have a particular job/training assigned to them like the 800s & 900s.. Hope to find others...
HOOYAH! So, for those who don't have division discussions above yet, please feel free to start one. You will get to know one another there...but please stay on this main board too for lots of info. We N4Moms veterans don't have alot of time to scout the discussions for questions....we are on all of the active PIR groups, which is about 6 or 7. Wheeew!
