Hello to all! I am looking forward to talking and sharing with all of you. My SR called Saturday morning and he sounded great. He said that everything so far was going well. I was on speaker phone with my husband and daughter so it was hard to ask too many questions. He did say that the food was good and that the weather was a different kind of cold then what he is used to. All in all it was a great phone call. I am so very proud of him and so excited to see him and all the other SR's at PIR.

Our SR is ship 3 division 86. He called and my husband said you would've thought he was coming home from 7 years in the Civil War with no contact from him. Lol. He said things are going great and he was excited to have got his work uniform with his last name on it. It was a relief to hear things were going well. Is anyone else's SR going to school in San Antonio after this? I look forward to meeting you all.
