CatMom is always so sweet to give the newest PIR groups the headsup about the calls....and in every PIR group so far, she has been right because at least a few of the divisions would call this early.  Hopefully more calls will come in today for others!

Good Afternoon! 

Comment by Lilo54 on December 6, 2014 at 2:14pm

Thanks CatMom509 for the heads up on the call.  We were out running errands when we got the call!  We were like the keystone cops to pull over so we could talk to our son!  He was not surprised by our spontaneous craziness!  He sounded good.  I was so glad that I gave him a phone card because it worked perfectly.  It made my day and I will be smiling for the rest of the weekend!  I'm hope everyone in this division got their call too!

So happy for those of you that have received your form letter and calls! That has to make the heart happy!!

running smiley photo: running amok zrunningamok.gifYAY...on the early call!

Comment by CatMom509 on December 6, 2014 at 12:42am

Hey everyone, I want to give you a "HEADS UP" to be prepared to receive calls from your SRs this weekend!  The call will show up as "847",  "Waukegan, IL", "Pay Phone", or "Government" or anything else that may be unfamiliar.  If it is a sales call, just politely tell them "No, thank you."  Please also let your family members know about this too~~

During this time in Boot Camp, please keep your cell phones charged, ready, and with you all the time---upstairs, downstairs, out in the backyard, in the bathroom, out to get the mail, of course, out on errands.  If you are going to a loud restaurant or a movie theater, remember to put it on "vibrate" and put in your pocket or some place you can feel it.  They can call during the week or weekend, so just be prepared:  6:00 am - 6:00 pm (West Coast); 8:00 am - 8:00 pm (Great Lakes time); 9:00 am - 9:00 pm (East Coast).

This is the PIR group for this date. Once we get the official number of Divisions  from RTC we will add individual Division Discussion to this PIR group in a Discussion Forum for you. It is good to get to know the whole group as will as your division friends.:-)

We do not encourage seperate divisional groups as there can be 6-8 TG's...that's 60+ divisions  at RTC at any given time and so would be too much too handle on here. It also keeps you from having to hop around for info.

We veteran moms stay mostly on this Main wall to answer questions. 

Welcome and ask away!

Comment by TaniaB on December 5, 2014 at 8:08pm
Should I also join a group which is ship and division specific or is this the only group if my son is graduating on 1/23/15, thanks.

I got the form letter yesterday.  My 19 year old daughter left on November 24.   She wrote in the columns of the letter.  The first line was "I love and miss you so much mom!!"   I cry even writing that.   haha!!!
