Wanted to be sure that all read through the PAGES info, above and to the right. Here is the link.
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!
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!
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!

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!!!
