terrif: Blessings to you and your daughter....I can't help but think the Lord will use this short experience for good in her future, to help prepare her for what He next has planned for her. I pray that she sees that "road" soon and gets excited about it. As all of the new sailors are celebrating, I know that they and the families will be thinking of those who did not make it through and be saying prayers for them. I have been on this site for 5 yrs now, helping on the PIR groups, and I have heard some wonderful followup stories of disappointed SRs discharged....but moving on in life in a very positive way after that! So stay strong!
Good Morning All !

Thank you all for.your kind words and prayers for my daughter as she prepares to journey through another cross roads in her life. I wish you and all your sailors-to-be the best of luck. I am finding it too hard to follow this group any longer - as the PIR dates draws near and your anxiousness and excitement increases, mine does as well but on the other side of the spectrum. Again, thank you all and may God bless each and every one of you and watch over your sailors as they live out their dreams.

As the holiday nears, I find I am not excited or anticipating, or anxious..I am numb...with my son at RTC it just doesn't feel normal, I am missing him terribly... January 16th can't get here fast enough... I am so excited for that trip in Chicago... My birthday is 1/20...and this year my gift is priceless... Finally seeing my son...

Good morning from the West Coast, thank you for the Mr. Bean clip!
Terrif, I am sad to hear about your daughter's trials. Yes, I am joining with you also, praying for peace and direction for her.
Catmom, thank you for sharing scriptures; they encourage me very much.
