Hi. My son is Ship 03 Div 059. I got to talk to him today. He is doing well. Better than we expected. How is everyone else doing?

I am great after getting to talk to my girl! When I talked to her, she said that their group was eligible for the adopt-a-sailor thing, and was going to send me info.... So, I don't know....she said you have to be over halfway through to be able to do it. I don't know if that was just an assumption on her part that they are eligible, or if she knows it for sure. I will definitely pass on anything I find out one way or another!

Has everyone figured out where they're staying for the PIR? I am having a heck of a time trying to decide! We'll be driving, and might need a pet friendly place...

We're driving too, but I have to board my dog here at home. He's too old to take that long of a car ride :) Let me know if you find any good deals for hotels. I've been looking and I guess I want to be as close to RTC as possible...

Yea I got a letter from my niece today. I was so excited to read it. She is doing good, I think she was most excited to find out that she had zero cavities (which is good for someone that has never been to a dentist) lol. Says she shines her boots way to often and that she is learning to shoot tomorrow (12/17). Was wondering if anyone knew what week/day that would be considered in BC.
Hoping myself or her boyfriend gets a call from her soon.
Thanks

Has anyone figured out where they're staying for PIR? Or which Meet & Greet would be best? I was looking at Springhill Suites, we'll have my mom,my other daughter and my hubby so we need room!

So far I haven't decided on hotel or anything (I just worked it out to be able to attend). Now I gotta find out who the other 3 attendees are (hoping my husband can get outta work now) and see how we wanna get there and where to stay considering we are in Florida. I have been doing a lot of research this weekend tho so hopefully can narrow down some choices soon. I was also probably gonna attend Sarges Meet & Greet but I guess it will depend how far away my hotel is from him....
