'Anything' meaning what exactly? I would love to try to help but not sure where to begin. Have you received the scripted 'I'm here' call? The form letter of PIR & address?

Good Morning Everyone! My son is in DIV 055. He arrived on the 12th, I got the "I'm here" phone call and that was the last time we've spoke. Hoping today will be the day. But I did get a letter with the Adopt a Sailor paperwork. It couldn't of come at a better time,( my moms in the hospital and the past few days have been extremely difficult.) Is anyone else going up for Xmas? Phone calls for all today! :)

Hi Alice... may I ask... when did you receive the Adopt a Sailor Christmas letter? I didn't receive one and my son is Div 056. Has anyone else received this? I visited my other son (twin) on Thanksgiving through the same program and it was definitely worth the trip. For Thanksgiving, only divisions with a 12/6/13 PIR were included.

Prayers for you, your mom & your family. We're not going to make it for Christmas, too far to make the trip twice in 2 weeks. I'm glad you have the opportunity. Will be wonderful I'm sure!

I get most of my stuff from different sites, this one comes from sherv .net. You post the HTML code as a link, and the "link" is at the top of the posting box.

Hi Everyone. Hope everyone got calls today. None yet for me :( Mari Mom my son's in DIV 055 and the adopt a Sailor form came in Fridays mail. To be honest I have no idea how they decided who gets to send one home. I'm not on the computer a lot due to my mom being in the hospital but I think I've seen maybe 3-4 others who have received the form. When you went for Thanksgiving were there a lot of places open and things to do? I'm having a hard time finding things open on Xmas day. I'm going to try calling the Chamber of Commerce in the morning. I guess they could stay at the hotel, and just relax, watch tv and stuff. I do want to find out if Skype is allowed. I just thought that would be so awesome for my son and the friend he picks to be able to Skype their family and friends. If you or anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
