bananamama...it is COLD!  I read somewhere that for our PIR it is projected to be in the 40s.  Although that is still 2 weeks away and we are still below 0 degrees.  Here's to hoping for 40s!!!

Just booked our flights and hotel. What is the weather like in Chicago? Never been in the mainland before.

Monique, Worriedmom, and adpsmom,

You're all so welcome!!

Comment by adpsmom on February 19, 2015 at 8:39pm

Catmom-Thank you so much for posting the scripture from Isaiah. I included it in my letter tonight. It is so comforting to know and trust that God is with us and our SRs at all times. I know that my son will greatly appreciate this particular verse.

Today is usually my letter day, but I did not gets my hopes up for the reasons stated. And, just as I thought-no letter for me today:(

Good morning!  I agree Vicky, hoping today is still letter day!  Ready for BS and anticipating 'the call'!  We are almost there!  Thank you CatMom for keeping us inspired!

Comment by Vicky on February 19, 2015 at 9:36am
My fingers are crossed for a letter today. Between President's Day and the weather, I'm hoping mail is not delayed.
Comment by diannep on February 19, 2015 at 8:26am

Good Morning!  Yep, they should be into Training Week 5 now, some getting ready to start Training Week 6, their last one before their final test, BattleStations.  Be sure to read the BattleStations discussion above for more info on their final test!  Some divisions will be having BattleStations late next week, the rest during PIR week.

Morn everyone I was told last week was
"Hell Week" CatMom thanks for the scriptures
Comment by CatMom509 on February 19, 2015 at 6:13am

Friends,

This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon.  Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.

     "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

      I have summoned you by name;  you are mine. 

      When you pass through the waters,

      I will be with you; and when you pass

      through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

      When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

      the flames will not set you ablaze.  For I am the Lord,

      your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."

                                                                 Isaiah 43:1b-3a
