Enjoy this very very special day. ladies. I'm hoping that some of you are entering the PIR hall as I type this. Have a wonderful time with your sharp-looking NEW SAILORS!
Happy PIR Day...You Made it...Enjoy the day with your Sailor!
Blessings, lesliet. Another plan, another purpose...but this experience has a place in his life...for sure. He has learned from it...and will continue to use it. He fought the fight, was there to serve his country...we are very proud of him!
Prayers as the Lord reveals the next step in his life to him! I know that your hugs are what he has missed the most and know you will be happy to have your boy back in your arms again.
lesliet - I am so sorry...please thank your son for wanting to serve his country...this must be so disappointing for him. Give him a BIG N4M hug from all of us!. He will need time to adjust and a plan. God Bless him and You and prayers for whatever he endeavors to do!
ok...
barby...we are staying at the Ramada that's why we are going to the one here.
Lesliet im praying ....
is everyone going to the Ramada m&g instead of Sarge's??
I'm here!!! At the Ramada with the whole family!!! I think I saw Melissa at the restaurant but wasn't sure so I didn't ask!! Meet and greet tonight should be fun!
Yes, barbsz. You only need it to drive on base or to take him back on the base Friday night. You can drop him off at the front gate after liberty without having the gate pass. Just means he walks a bit further. Do his parents have the gate pass? Aren't they going to be with him on Friday? Is he staying in GL? Not sure if you need that to get on GL base the first time. Maybe you will find out tonight.
