Hearthhaven, you're welcome! It really helps to hear from other parents the things we don't get to hear from our own SR! When my son was in AF BMT, he said I knew more than he did about what was going on in his flight! LOL ...Also, I stalked my mail lady on Saturday when I missed getting my letter in the mail before she came. Oh yes I did drive through the neighborhood to find her!! Gotta get that letter to my sailor girl EVERY day.

Dogdoc and everyone: thanks for letting us know they were able to start writing letters yesterday!!!! Guess our mailmen should all be warned they will be stalked this week!!!!

Reposting without last names (sorry!!)...this is from yesterday:
Got a call from my SR daughter in 916. She said she'd have 30 minutes but was cut short about halfway in (could hear RDC's yelling in background) and she had to hang up abruptly. She was super tired. Said only 7 girls are allowed to be out of bed after TAPS each night (for ironing, etc.) and when a PO checked on them last night, 8 girls were up (she was not one of them)...so they all had IT (ie - lots of PT and were told they wouldn't get phone calls today). I'm wondering if the RDC's told them 30 minutes and then cut it short on purpose... My sailor niece told me they had their calls cut short one time because someone tried to buy candy during phone calls! Crazy rebels always ruin it for everyone else. They do/did get to mail letters today (Sunday) and have upcoming inspections on Tuesday.

Good Morning! Yes, as CatMom said, please be careful and don't post last names of the SRs here. That is not allowed!

dogdoc,
Oops!! You have the last names of SRs on your post, which is not allowed. Need to not be able to id any particular SRs here for security purposes. Could you please re-post with just the initials and if she provided the towns they are from, something like SR S.H. from Eureka, CA or P.K. from Palatka, FL...... Thanks!

Your Division Discussions have been posted up above. Please use them to get to know each other even better on a "Divisional" basis...BUT remember that you all have the same PIR date and many of you will be attending the same Meet and Greets...so please continue to post on the Main Wall here.
Also, please continue to post your questions for us "veteran moms" on the Main Wall here. We can have 7-8 active PIR groups going at one time..that's 70-90 Divisions! We try to get to the Division Discussions but with that many it is difficult! We don't want to miss any questions as ALL are important...no dumb ones...for many of you this is your first servicemember and we want to be there to help and lend support.
Division discussions now open for business!!
POST AWAY!!

N4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC apply to the Discussion Forum area as well. The Division Discussions are viewable to all...just like the Main Wall here.
Please do not start new division discussions!!!!
The Discussion Forum area is set to show titles only and is set at ten titles at a time for now. (This can be adjusted by the group creator or an administrator)
It is also set to show the "latest activity" (there are other settings). So whatever has just had a reply added to it will "bump" that Discussion to the top. The discussion will stay up there at the top because it has had "activity"…until the next Discussion has activity. If there are over ten discussions, whatever is at the bottom will disappear from view…but not from the Discussion Forum. So, if you want to see more, click "view all" at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion forum area. It is right up there above the Blue Comment Wall bar.
When you view a discussion forum by clicking on the title, the first post ever made will be the first one on the first page. To get to the most current reply, click “Last Reply” directly underneath that particular Discussion.
~You will also notice that in the top right corner in any post that you do you will see an "x". This is so you may delete your post if you need too. You will also see the “x” on any post you make anywhere else on the site.
